I don't drink at all, never been to a club in my life, don't smoke, and I have a very strict mindset.

As a result, I find hanging around average teenagers a bit irritating.

I only have a handful of friends, but this actually doesn't bother me at all, that I often don't fit in.

And I can tell my parents seem to feel bad for me seeing me as a loner or lonely, but I feel perfectly fine pursuing my goals with you people around me.

I'm just very picky and selective with who I make friends with.

And my parents may find me abnormal, I think, and like there's something wrong with me.

And sometimes it makes me feel alien-like.

And so my question to you is, is it okay to be a loner in pursuing your goals?

My parents want me to hang out with groups of people my age, but I've always felt too mature and dislike their mindset.

Yeah, that's not what I want.

Yeah, exactly.

That's what I tell myself.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I agree 100% on all you said.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're seen as weird.

Right.

Yeah, absolutely, man.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.
