Sociopath Community

My dad was in a political job that required international travel so I went to high school in Japan and Australia for a while. It meant that I had an external reason for feeling like an outsider, so I didn't have my adolescent identity crisis until I was about 20. It also meant that I viewed friendships as transient, which I think made me a very insecure person for a while.

At most of the schools I attended, I was awkward, nervous, and very involved in academics (despite being a mediocre student). It was an escape to pretend I was scholastically minded, given I felt very inadequate socially.

That said, I think my experiences made me a wiser adult.

I got along with most groups of people and pretty much flew under the radar. Wasn't popular, but was friends with the popular kids, which kept me insulated from bullying. People who may not have otherwise liked me at least got along because I let them copy my homework or did minor class clown stuff. I was pretty damn awkward or naive at times, but I guess it wasn't too bad. People thought I was a goody two-shoes and were surprised to see me at parties.

 were you a boyscout? i dunno you just give me boyscout vibes 

Nah, but I did go to a Lutheran school 4-6 grade.

 How did you like it? 

 I went to a Lutheran school between 3-6 and it did a lot to shape my curiosity and orientation. 

Wtf you two also attended a Lutheran school? 

I hated that shit for what little time it lasted. They were years behind academically, there was mandatory bible and prayer time, they said the pledge of allegiance in another language, the choir time was spooky, their teacher made us color in the white parts of the picture with a white crayon because "God made them for a reason", and the teachers' eyes all had that cult-like glaze. 

i was voted most likely to take over the world

I was actually really popular and was voted most likely to be a super hero. Then I was kicked out for bringing drugs to school
