What's weird about you?

As for me - For someone my age, I honestly prefer calm over chaotic parties. Most 25-year-olds seem to love the whole loud-music, sweating-in-a-crowd scene, but I had my party phase early in my 20s and it disappeared pretty fast. I did a few… and then I just didn’t get what was so great about it. That’s also when I ended up losing a bunch of “friends,” mainly because I didn’t want to squeeze myself into a room full of people anymore.

I used to job-hop like crazy in my early career. Every few months I’d leave and try something else because I kept feeling like there had to be something different out there for me. And yeah, coming from a lower-middle-class family, that wasn’t exactly the safest thing to do, but somehow I still took the risks.

I talk about absolute bizarre stuff with people I vibe with. Zero filter. I also prefer dogs over humans… not even joking. I talk to them like they can talk back. I don’t know if they understand a word, but they put their paws on my hand and lean their head on me like they’re trying their best to keep up.

People used to call me an old soul when I was a teen. Meanwhile, I’m here trying to become a kid again because I feel like I missed out on so much. And, I don’t relate to most of the people my age at all. My idea of fun is completely different from theirs, and group setting feel like too much happening at once on the most surface level possible.

Meanwhile, I can trauma-dump in the most casual tone ever. It doesn’t hurt, but I’ve realised it freaks people out. Back then I’d say “Ah, it’s nothing,” and they’d stare at me like I was an alien. So back then, dating was… interesting.

But I do keep wondering how a group conversation would go if it was all of us “weird” people together. It would probably be fun!!!
