I feel so different from other teens my age?

Question

I always feel different from everybody my age and its been like this for as long as I can remeber. I'm 15 now and I feel so different from everyone else. 

1. I go to an all girls school and I feel so odd because I'm not at all interested in make-up and have never worn it. And so many people have something like 15 different nail polishes while the last time i wore it was years ago. There's also clothes. People are always getting new clothes and keeping trend and stuff but I don;t really care about that. As long as my clothes are neat and presentable I'm OK. 

2. I feel as though I'm more mature than other people my age. I'm not really interested in celebreties and their lives. There's also the beiber thing. just cos they don't like him they don't like his music but I don;t really care who the artist is. As long as it sounds good I listen to it. I also listen to a lot old music like the pretenders, the beatles, queen, billy joel and billy idol. I don't listen to pop music and stuff that much. 

And I'm not really into all the drama and gossip that have in high school and I've never had a boyfriend. I don't go to parties drink or do drugs. I'm more focused on getting my education and doing something good with my life. 

3. I seem to think a lot more. Like, often I think about life, about how to fix things and make them better, about my future, about who i want myself to be and all this stuff like that. Sometimes I just plan my whole life out in my head. 

4. I'm and entrepreneur. I know it's not that weird but everybody i know are just working at McDonalds or something like that. Like, I play violin, piano and harp so I play music and wedding ceremonies. 

5. I have such a wide range of interests and other people seem to be only focused on one thing so thats all their interested in and nothing else and it seems I can't fit in anywhere. 

6. I don't have any friends. It's not like I don't try but everybody seems so immature and I get really annoyed by that so then I just leave them because it never works out. So I'm kinda a loner..


I know it was long and thanks for reading all of it!! Please help. Why am I so different?? Am i normal?? Thanks for reading!

Yes, you're normal. I'm like that too.

Here's something that might interest you:

It's a free version of the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) test. If you search your "type" after you complete the test, you'll find a lot of people just like you (on forums and such). It might not be 100% accurate (what is?), but some of them are spot on, and I found it interesting.

You'd be surprised to see how many times this question gets asked here. We all go through a certain time where we feel like outcasts; we all probably are. But the way you think of those people as different(mind you, most of the answerers consist of the likes of the 'drama' kind too), they may think of you as different too. And there is nothing wrong with diversity! 

I appreciate your outlook on life and how you are a planner. You will go far in life.

Sounds like you're an Introvert. It's not a bad thing, and it's pretty normal.
