Hi Jon. You're are not alone. I am going through something similar. All my life I've felt I'm quite different from my circles and the black sheep of my family. Not long ago I realized that I'm destined to journey this life alone. As you said, people don't understand me and I don't much understand them. I like my life and what I do. I am a teacher. I have a few hobbies and literally no close friends. I'm my friend. I'm friends with my higher self as well. I am at peace and also observant and conscious of the world around me. Good luck with your journey. Love, peace and bliss.
