TBH with you guys, I don't think I have any traits that make me stand out from the rest. Oh well, average is okay.
[/quote]

It's not even positive traits that make you stand out. In fact, Chloe likes me for not being normal if you will.

Like, she finds the typical outgoing personality kind of hard to approach. And well, sometimes just being a tad weird is attractive enough for the right people.

And this is the kind of mask I've had on for years, though I have no use for it now. And I may never be as "normal" as others, I'll always be that socially awkward guy no matter how hard I try. Oh well, we don't get to choose the hand we are dealt.

No but you do choose how to work with it. Your situation is not unique in any way, in fact mine was basically a carbon copy of your point of view, not two years ago.

But opportunity happens. EVENTUALLY, sure; but it does. Sometimes you just need, a new beginning. And by that I mean beginning anything. The past only sticks to you if it was where you are.

Guys guys, you misunderstand. This is all just our way of getting to know each other. As Latin brothers, we must honor the gods through tradition: a gladiator-style brawl [s]to the death[/s] until one of us says "Uncle."

I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. Not only do we talk about romance, sex and dating, but we also talk down to each other and find ways to hurt each other while looking like a family at the same time. Just look at DL. He's a dirty-minded fool with the best last name ever and hates me so much he'd tear my throat out if he could, but we still manage to live together peacefully, taking care of one another.

And soon, you'll join this family. We're more dysfunctional than any family who preaches it or not because of our incredible range of people. The only ones we're missing now are Fusion and KawaiiGallantmon.
[/quote]

This sounds like the greatest family I have ever heard of.

Also, I talk like who I am. An idiot. :'D

Oh okay. This actually makes a lot more sense, because I thought you might have been seriously mad at him for jokingly threatening me. Which is silly, because at the very least you would've been sarcastic if that was your intention.

Also, we're a family? 0_o

I don't remember any adoption papers switching hands.

Care to give an example? Are you saying I should completely start over? And I've been waiting for years already, yet nothing has happened since. TBH, I think my past will always hang around. Some of the things I've done and who I was seem to play against me now. People tell me I have a superiority complex, though it was worse years ago. I don't think anyone wants that, but it is apart of me.

Let's see. People here in Argentina see me as the antisocial type. It will always be like that, because first impressions are a b****.

BUT. I got a free restart in Paris. And it worked wonders! I made quite a bit of friends, and found myself a lovely Canadian girl. Without actually having to wear any masks! Being as condescending as I wanted to, being as much of a smartass as I wanted to. You have to be part of the founding cast of a group. That people take what there is in front of them, not whatever awkwardness HAS been.

I've always wanted a new start. I want to move so I can easily explain my transgenderness WITHOUT getting a bunch of s***.

I don't think I can restart after 5 years of student council. I think I gave up my right to that, at least until next year.

I have this thing where I put stuff in spoilers if I feel it drags on or might contain redundancies. Hope it helps.

[spoiler=General thoughts that turn into ramblings]
You're right Striker. Reactions are always unique. But human nature isn't. Certain behaviors tend to agitate people across the spectrum, though in some places it bothers them so little that they can ignore it. If I've learned anything, it's that the important thing is to give them a reason to get over your faults. My number one way of doing this is kindness. It's hard to turn the other cheek, harder than most anything else in this life. But it goes a long way. I've made the mistake of holding grudges before, and I always find that all it takes is some time away from that person to forgive them. And in my experience, the forgiveness goes both ways.

Another thing is not to take ANYTHING seriously. People at my school hate 'drama.' They hate it because it's serious, and it forces them to stop ignoring all the real-world events that are taking place around them. After all, ignorance is bliss. Not being serious about anything allows you to be ignorant of it, because no one is going to care due to the fact that no one is being serious. If someone says something blatantly obvious, they are most likely trying to sound like an idiot, so pointing it out is bad. If a guy threatens another guy with a fight or something, even if they sound/look serious: also probably joking. They're just being "manly." These are just a few things that I see on a daily basis. Of course you're area may be completely different, but I've been to different areas and gotten the same reactions regardless.

Lastly, separating how you act in private or on the internet and how you act with your friends has gotten me where I am today*. I don't talk about anime with most of my friends because they either just don't care, or find it ridiculous. And that's fine by me, because I can talk to people on YCM about anime if I feel like it, because there's less judgement. The same thing applies to most everything else. Take note of the things that you do that gain approval, and the things that don't. By separating these things, over time, you can find yourself acting completely different socially*. That's what I did, and if I hadn't, I'd probably have only a fraction of the friends I have now. And I'm not ashamed to say that, because the friends I have now share many of my interests, and are a lot more accepting of the weird things about me now that we've had time to build a relationship.

*Warning: Possible side effects include mumbling to yourself and other neurotic tendencies. Luckily, if you only do these when no one notices, you'll be fine!

This information is extremely biased and probably only remotely helpful, but I figure I might as well try to provide some kind of support.

My free restart was highschool. A good chunk of the people I either got along with in middle school or didn't know well (most of them were the latter, as the former was a small group) were slotted to go my current school. The other 90% came from other middle schools, and through that opportunity I got to show the new me. The one that was completely reinvented over the summer after 8th grade on that surprisingly adult-themed cruise that, now that I look back on it, was quite the coming-of-age story.

[b]That is my problem, I have a lot of baggage. I may forget the reason why I hold it, but I still do. I can't let things go, no matter how hard I try. And tbh, being stuck as the person who usually does good and is the typical kind of teenager adults love doesn't help.[/b]

[b]To be fair, that hasn't done me so well at all. If you look at who I was in 2010 and 2011, you will see a complete failure. I am who I am, and I don't think a lot of people can accept me fully. I still try in hope that people do.[/b]
