Your description leaves too many variables undefined, so I can't honestly say whether or not I would get along with that person or not, especially since the people I've known who would come close to fitting that description have all been very different despite those similarities.
In other words, as Angela mentioned, you've disclosed information about your situation, but nothing about
you, at least not in that list of accomplishments or qualities. But your post as a whole does say something. And it is very possible that I could become good friends with someone who writes as you do.
I've found that generally, young people of that calibre associate with people older than themselves. Someone like that usually doesn't have much time for me because my ambitions and passions are far less obvious, to the point that they seem nonexistent in comparison. Yet I can develop a friendship with them, it just takes time, and may only involve brief contact once every few months. Those friendships aren't very deep, though that doesn't mean it's not possible.
I don't fit well into any mold either, and in the cases where the fit is especially poor, I get very uncomfortable when I'm obliged to try to fit (work gatherings, certain family events, social occasions for a friend's benefit). But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy those aspects of a particular mold which appeal to me.
But my close friends have shown me that not everyone fits into society's molds as closely as they first seem, and indeed some not at all. The people who I spend most of my time with have also said many times that they feel as if they don't fit in anywhere. And I keep meeting people like that, every year. Some fade and eventually disappear from my life, but well, that's life. The ones I truly want to stay in my life do so. I've very grateful that I have more than my fair share of close friends (without Shamou's quotation marks.
)
I'm curious about what rapid changes you've undergone that would cause friendships to seem so very distant. And about the friendships themselves. It would make sense to me if those friendships were formed solely around situational attributes rather than core personality. It would take something very dramatic to cause a rapid shift in core personality...
I think living a sheltered life is a telling point. I've found that lack of social skill has kept barriers between myself and some groups of friends, barriers which were broken down as I become more comfortable around them. In those cases it wasn't that I couldn't fit in, but that I unconsciously wouldn't let myself (through heightened self-consciousness, ironically).
If any alienation occurs, it will be because you focus too heavily on your uniqueness. As RT Wolf mentioned (we've been reading the same material I suspect
) the brain has an amazing ability to draw our attention to things which we place importance upon. The more you think yourself unique in a negative way, the more you will notice things which reinforce that belief.
I'm 100% confident that you'll meet people (yes, plural) with whom you can connect on a deeper level. Possibly even via the Internet.
