that's pretty funny, you sound very similar to me. Dropped out of school, always been different, feel like my decisions are fine but everyone around me is scared that I might screw up my life and so on.
When it comes to honesty it's never a bad thing, particularly when it comes to being honest with others about who you are. You could hide and people might like you more but it will feel empty and you will be more alone hiding who you are than if you were more open.
It's very difficult to talk with people who don't understand and who don't want to understand. I tell people what I am all about in a matter of fact kind of way. They can ask as many questions as they want but I am not arguing with them about who I am, never will.
When you hide who you are you get stuck on the fence. The "normal" people will always be able to tell that you aren't one of them and will find it difficult to accept you. At the same time the "different" people won't be able to find you because you are trying to blend in with the crowd. Once you make the decision to become fully who you really are the people who are similar to you will come out of no where.
