I was far more interested in good music and reading books to even fake being concerned about the usual teenage drama llamas. There was just no way I was ever going to "fit," and I used to agonize over it. Then one day, I just decided to stop agonizing and keep doing my own thing and to hell with everyone else.

This did not always go over well, but I felt much better about myself.

Also, to keep from totally derailing this thread, here is a photo of me demonstrating to a friend how to Look Askance properly. This is not to be confused with Giving the Official Side-Eye, though, which is an entirely different animal.

Pretty picture!
You sound a bit like me - it took a while before I found a clique of friends that I really liked at high school (some of us are still good friends), and eventually I became pretty comfortable with myself. Then, more recently, I realised I was pure awesome, so... And you are too, now that I've imparted some of mine to you (a simple thank you will suffice). If you weren't already, of course, which evidence suggests may be the case.
