Why do I feel like I never fit in anywhere?

vivatregina:

You know, like when I try, I feel like I’m not really wanted there and people are just kind of trying to include me to be polite, and when I don’t try, because I’m awkward and shy and generally a quiet person (the loudness is kind of just a front, really), I think people think I’m a snob. I just can’t win, you know?

More importantly, why do I still feel like that at almost-twenty-five? I’m way too old for this. You’d think I would have found “my people” by now.
