@Multisubject — Yeah, it's weird.
I think my biggest flaw lies in speaking
too much when the situation does not warrant it. Ie, I can be seen as somewhat "crazy" and "blabbery" but it's simply a symptom of having a brain that operates faster than my mouth can move. As such, I have a tendency to not complete a thought before moving on to the next, especially when I am passionate about a topic. And to backtrack is like to ask me to retrieve a tape that's been thrown to the bottom of a river... not easy. So people can perceive me as "rushed" and "hyperactive", which caused me pretty significant troubles in school (especially public elementary and middle schools), but said issues have waned, but not entirely disappeared as a now-senior in high school. Some people have middle school me instilled in their minds, and refuse to see the fact that I've grown/matured as a person. And some outright hate me, and make it very clear. There is a group of popular, smart guys who essentially exclude me from everything. Ie, I am in AP Calc-BC, but not in the group chat the rest of the class is in, because the guys are popular and have "social jurisdiction" over a large number of people. Actually, one of the people who hates me most is Class President, and he makes his opinions of me very clear.
As such, I've faced what I can only describe as the "social trampling" effect. Where one popular (usually smart) person treats me with derision, and the rest of the group "tramples" me in the coming stampede. Whether they're afraid of opposing these people, or simply have a chance to make their displeasure with me known, it hurts. Lyrics in a ton of Linkin Park and Eminem songs hit harder than they should because most of these people want to see me give up, to see me fail, to watch my downfall and laugh. I've made some friends over the years (mainly in my junior and senior years) who honestly were averse to my presence before, but the number remains relatively low for the above-stated reasons.
But it's whatever. I've already been accepted to Purdue for Materials Engineering, as well as Pitt w/ 10K merit/yr in-state, with many more decisions coming within the next two months. So come June, I won't have to see anyone from my graduating class ever again, unless I choose to reach out.
