i've found that its rare to meet people who are really different or outside of the norm' when it comes to interests and general conversation and even body language, its as if everyone is almost a duplicate of conditioned western society that evenryone talks about the same subjects, and so what i;ve noticed is that you really have to be able to make some sort of impact and alot of the time i see people using sarcasm and two way joking around and sometimes even playful banter and playful touching and that is when you can tell they are probably going to be friends outside of work or school...because they are on that level, that practiced level of social confidence which is like a muscle that has been building up over a long period of time where they have enough experience to make you feel like an outsider to their world and the way they operate etc. its tricky to break into that...
there are people more like you out there but they may not be as common to find.
but yes! i find that alot of people i thought were a bit different ended up being popular, well travelled, experienced very normal successful people and when that happens especially if its a potential friend or even a girl you like then its easy to see the cons of the situation if you compare yourself but that all depends on that person and how they see the world, just because you think you are out of someone's league of friends could be incorrect, they may actually like you more than you think, but not always, its hard to know...
i haven't had any close friends since 2005 and its really starting to hurt alot right now, but i haven't met anyone since that has been interested enough to want to be a friend and to be honest half of the problem of this is that i don't initiate friendships and alot fo people don't take the first step, that is why alot of people don't make friends, because once you become an adult (probably earlier, around 15) you start to lose that fearlessness you had as a kid because as a kid you just don't know any better, kids just have fun without a care in the world and make friends easily, but adults often have to be prodded into action because the reality of the world and self conscioussness kicks in at extreme levels in high school and beyond.
:? I probably wouldn't consider them friends even if they did.
