Hi Jacob,

You don’t sound weird at all, you sound like a wonderful and interesting person. It also sounds like you know what you want, but what you want is so different from what the people around you want, that you feel like there must be something wrong with you. I agree with Anita, with planning and research for what different opportunities are available to you, if not in your own town, then nearby, you could work towards the type of life that is line with your values and needs. Your values and needs are justified, and worth pursuing.

Best,

Maria
