I was a little adult for my age as a teenager, and I didn't feel like I socially fit in with my peers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always thought I had a problem socially, because I was pulled out of school so early. I had a tough time talking to other kids and being comfortable with them.
I've never really socialized; I've always been anti-social and preferred to be at home. I was never, even my late teens and early twenties, into clubs and parties and stuff like that.
I went to university and I was a bit out of my depth, socially.
I was raised with adults. I skipped knowing how to interact as a normal teenage person.
I was a nervous kid, not great socially.
Basically, my socialization as a child didn't come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online.
I was very average in the social label scale going through school. I was neither the coolest person in school, nor did I suffer the slings and arrows of being made fun of to such a degree that I couldn't get through the day.
When I was young, I wasn't a misfit or anything. I had friends in all the different social groups. But I had issues - just personal issues, insecurities and other things that had happened in my life.
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
I just felt being part of my peer group so strongly. I was immersed in teen culture, but not taken in by it.
