I inherited a lot of the social beta characteristics of my father, but after I got older I grew out of it.

dont worry once you get to college it works out. it's almost like the more eccentric you are, the cooler you are.

Yes. I was also homeschooled and had to learn to socialize when they sent me to a public high school. Got bullied for the first year, eventually the non-stop human contact helped me unfuck myself and I made friends and got a gf. It's still difficult a decade later, I have to force myself into as much social contact as possible, preferably with touching (dance, massage), or I revert back into a homebody introvert autist. It still comes out if I'm not very careful with my words, just last weekend at a dinner party I drank too much said some aspie stuff and I probably won't be invited back around those people. Whatever, it's a muscle, gotta keep working on it and see the losses as practice.

I understand that basic feel. My parents were old school and believed in obedience above all else: I was a great kid in the way people consider a dog to be a good dog; always doing what it's told and staying quiet and out of the way. Now I have to constantly make conscientious efforts to not get stepped on and taken advantage of by literally everybody I have to interact with...shit sucks man.

I also have this super shitty hipster-tier need to be original as possible, even to a fault because I wasn't allowed to believe I had my own thoughts as a kid either: "You only think/said that because _________ said that."

My parents really meant well, but I don't think they forsaw that backfiring like it did.

I just have to deal with it I guess.

I was severely obese as a child, it kind of fucked me up during education.

I've noticed that.
