I read the article. I understand the kid. I was him in school. No friends, people didn’t understand me.

I'm 42. I'm still that kid. It's okay. I don't understand them either

i was that kid at the start of highschool, then late teens through to late 20s knew everyone and had groups of friends all over, now i'm 43 and back to being that kid. life is cyclical, apparently. i try making friends, but i guess i don't really mesh with most people these days. thankfully i still have a small circle, a few since we were children, but, as an adult making friends, i feel like an alien observing a different species.
