I hated High School.

I didn't hang out with any group. I had one friend, and even the two of us didn't do much together. Am I sorry for my experience. No, not even a little. I am glad I experienced what I did. It has made me who I am today, and I am proud of who I am.

To me, while I was in high school being a part of a group meant conforming to a particular groups way of behaving, places they hung out, people they associated with. Activities they participated in. I didn't want any of that. I didn't want to do the stuff they did. Peer pressure was revolting to me. Why smoke, it makes you smell bad, why drink it makes you act dumb, why do drugs, you loose a part of yourself when you do. Why be a jock, sports were just pointless. My hobbies and interests didn't match anyone I knew, and so I didn't hang out with anyone.

Even today I have only one really true friend, and the two of us are over a thousand miles apart. I rarely call my family, and I don't hang out with the people I work with. Do I enjoy socializing. Sure. Apart from my local BDSM group, I don't associate with any group of people on a regular basis.
