I feel like such a black sheep all the time. I’m nothing like my siblings, or my parents. I’m not extroverted and social like they are. I dress in dark clothes, don’t do my makeup, never try to impress or look good. It makes me feel so outcasted that I don’t look like or behave like they do

I promise that a lot of that is perception and mindset. you're a human being just like them

It is very much my own perception of myself. I’m lucky that my family loves me and doesn’t see me the way I see myself. But I also experienced so much strife and feelings of being different that I didn’t understand as a kid. It frustrates me now at 23 years old that my childhood could have been so much less stressful and my differences welcomed. I was always chocked up to being a good kid simply because I didn’t want things, and just wanted to be left alone with my books or art.
