So then...
I know you may be confused by the title. Let me explain. I’ve always thought that I was a normal girl. However, recently (grade 9), I’ve noticed that this isn’t necessarily true.
I’ve never struggled with being socially awkward or feeling isolated, insecure, feeling anxious etc. (Until my realization, that is.)
I know it sounds strange, but I’m literally the only student I know in my entire school who wears dresses because they like the way they look, not because their parents made them that particular day. (Are dresses just less popular now in high school? Or is it just a my school thing?)
I don’t really care about drama, dating, popularity, whatever. And I never really payed attention to just how much everyone else does now that we’re in high school.
I have a weird and kind of obsessive fear of dying. Like, every situation I’m in, I think about what could end my life, right then and there. Not like as in, how can I kill myself, more like, how could somebody or something just flat out murder me/kill me. I don’t really know when it started; It’s just always kind of been a part of me.
Am I worrying too much? Should I dress like everyone else? Should I care about who’s dating who and what’s happening to them etc? And is it weird to feel like death is always just around the corner? I know these might seem like weird questions, but I’m kind of out of tune with society, the more I think about it. Please, any help is appreciated.

The Other Side
They say it hurts worse when the say "I don't love you anymore" they say "I still love you our paths just go different directions" is so muc...
Your not the only one who feels like they are going to die in any situation I do to I picture being shot in the head and a lot of stuff. But you shouldn't worry to much people will come around I have definitely been the unique one but i mainly started trends in school for being unique like cat ears in my school books in the side pocket of my bookbag natural hair sweatshirts and sweatpants so you should have nothing to worry about dear.
ReplyYou sound exactly like me, and I'm not weird XD
No, wear whatever you like, it's high school.
Don't concern yourself with who's dating who. It's unnecessary drama and will cause more harm than good.
Might want to see about paranoia, but I wouldn't be too concerned, I used to think like that all the time too.
ReplyDress the way you want. I wish I had done that in high school. Literally none of those people will matter in ten years, but investing in yourself and the things you love WILL.
ReplyBe yourself!!! Do what makes you happy. And having that fear of dying is okay as long as it doesn’t affect your happiness. I’m a unique kid too and it’s better than any trend :)
