Why do I feel so different form everyone else if I'm ordinary?
When I was younger, I incessantly felt like I was incredibly different from everyone-- I had different interests and I wasn't absorbed in culture and music that others were. People weren't outright mean to me, but it was pretty obvious to me as a child that other girls weren't interested in befriending me at all. As time passed, I slowly became less and less of an individual and conformed to the mold that people of my age and sex are supposed to fill.
I recently moved to a new school in a new state. No one knew who I was, so I could blend in and be just like everyone else without anyone thinking of me as that weird kid they knew growing up who tried to stop being weird. And I guess I fit in now because the type of people that wouldn't have talked to me are now interested in being my friend. I enjoy their company, of course, but I can't help but feel they still secretly think I'm weird or misfit or what have you.
Why would I feel this way? Someone please help because I can't put up with this uneasiness much longer. What the hell is wrong with me?

It's because of the past trauma i guess, the past is over don't worry about it. Your at a new state a new school, pray don't worry it would be a new life and a new day. I think you are just a bit paranoid because you didn't have the same interests as the girls back then, but interests may differ from culture to culture and state to state.
It's a bit of a paranoia that you are thinking like that, with time and more socializing you can strengthen that bond you have with your friends. (remember to not gush over things) Be glad and be optimistic all the time. If you think they think you are a bit strange, look at yourself carefully in the mirror and see why you are different than them. It could be the clothes,it could be the makeup, it could be the hairstyle.. etc. And personality? i think you are okay. : )
