Dear Shirley:

You asked if you are a gullible person for trying to be kind to everyone- depends on the context and who is the person you are interacting with. And it depends on what you mean by “kind” . If a person disrespects you or mistreats you, it is time to be assertive, not passive and kind. If by “kind” you mean submissive, untrue to yourself, then never, says I.

You asked, when you see the world through different perceptions, “from your soul”, with detachment, does it make you strange and different from others-

I will answer your question with a question: do you think you are strange and different from your special friend? Or are the two of you very much alike; are the two of you strange compared to all the other students in school?

You asked how do you tell people that you are a philosopher, not just a scientist, and that you are trying to find yourself-  tell them just that.
