When I was a teen I wanted nothing more than to fit in, now I’m older I want nothing more than to be seen as weird.

When you're old, you stop giving a shit what people think and you can just be weird

I’m not “bent over to tie my shoe now my back hurts” old. What happens when I’m old?

Well, first off, you buy some Skechers slip ins.

More to the point, you find yourself going out into the world for the express purpose of being weird to innocent bystanders.

I kinda embraced that as a teen and honestly hurt me a lot over the years because I have an irrational, pathological need to be different even when it doesn't matter and even when it takes way more effort and hurts me.

Or maybe it was always there idk

"You know, I feel like making friends is so hard, and finding people who I'd like to be friends with is even harder."

"Yeah, I feel the exact same way!"

"Weird! Well...good talk." walks away
