"Zack"

        A lot of people think I'm weird. Which, if you're "normal" I guess you can agree to. I mean, I'm an awkward, gay, 80's loving guy, so yeah, not what you'd consider "normal". A lot of these types of interactions have caused me to overthink my life a lot.

        I usually think of if I did certain things differently. What if I did this, what if I did that? It's caused me to develop severe social anxiety. I'm so hurt by so many different people judging me, I've kinda shut down. I wish it was different.

       On the other hand, I think this kind of lonely way of life I've grown used to is helping a bit. I usually journal my thoughts out; which I highly recommend. I've had a job, which also helps greatly. Some people there get me, which...is nice.

        I hope that by attempting to explain my thoughts, somebody will finally try to understand me. It would be nice to have a friend who truly wants to listen to me, who is genuinely there for me.
