the interesting detail here is that just as I started to notice consistent failures in my attempts to blend into elementary school societal structure, I managed to shunt into the environment where I was decidedly on the lower level of weirdness scale (the country's leading math magnet school)

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

where I proceeded, for that reason, to not fit for the next 4 years, until graduation, while internalizing my new peers as normal so the realization was necessarily coupled with coming to acknowledge that my formative years were spent inside an asylum which took some time
