[Locked] Understanding others in a changing enviornment
0
To start of I would never call myself normal, I would call myself weird because being normal goes against most of things I find interesting. I guess this whole idea of myself I'm creating, goes against what I'm trying to actually explain.
For about 2 years now, I've started to become a more philosophical and/or cognitive type of person with my life and views. For about 2 years I've slowly become more disconnected with those I used to be around with a lot. I believe it's a quite interesting and slightly depressing concept but I also believe I'm beginning to indirectly develop a bad social habit.
I am a very open person to the world around me but I just can't shake the feeling that either everyone thinks I'm extremely strange, or that I just have a higher mentality level than most people around me. I used to be a very sociable person but now it seems that nobody wants to ever start or have an interesting conversation or debate over certain topics or ideas in both regular life and huge concepts.
It's like everyone is their own little bubble and I'm the only person whoever attempts to try to look beyond my bubble. I wanted to know if maybe there was some sort of explanation to this, or if maybe maybe there are others who have been in my position, or if anyone else actually has an explanation or idea of type of position I or they are in.

MY RESPONSE:
We share the same situation. At 19, my brain felt like it went from 10% to 90%. All of the sudden, the world seemed insanely different.
Things I never cared about, all of a sudden were important.
All the things I cared about, turned out to be a waste of time and a complete waste of time and energy.
I read poetry, watched artistic movies, actively searched and played deep video games ect.
I watched Star Trek for the first time, and got hooked to it's insanely deep philosophies and characters.
I became a science fiction fanatic, which lead to be becoming fascinated by science.
I started actually THINKING about everything around me.
I questioned my religion.
I questioned society.
I questioned governments and laws.
I questioned habits and what I thought was 'normal'.
And here I am, a totally different person. And yet nearly everyone around me, appear to still be like my old self. They watch reality TV, they blindly follow religion, they never question anything, they find science to be boring, they study because they MUST and not because THEY WANT TO. ect.
The reality, is that some of us 'grow up'. We become enlightened. We get that intelligent perspective which is impossible to ignore or escape from.
Yes, people hate us. They really really hate us. They despise us always talking about serious stuff, they hate it when we ruin their meaningless past-time with reminders of more important things. They HATE it when we question their life, their choices and their faith.
They want easy, they want simple and they want to avoid people like you and me.
There is no solution, it's a 'It's not me, it's you' situation. The best you can do, is actively seek others like yourself. Which is hard, because the majority remains in their little bubble and never change.
Just know this. You are not alone. We exist, and it's people like you and I, who lead, innovate and change society.
Your transformation is important.
The majority of people who read this, won't know what we are talking about. If you do however, then welcome to the true 'Club Humanity'.

First off sorry for my badly written post I'm new here and secondly, Im guessing you could say your right, because I really can't think of any other reasons what has happened . I'm actually on my way to college and hope to find more people who are like because as everyday goes on I feel like more isolated by the second but what I truly find a mystery,is why did I or you or anyone else "grow up" faster than everyone else what pushed us to become like this and why hasn't anything like this ever happened to the majority of people
