That's exactly what I'm living in now.
Just today at lunch while someone was commenting at my absurd choice to return to that group of people where a 12th grader was going around (convincingly) pretending to be an ape... well this person said that these people were all crazy and I should run away while I still could, I answered that I felt more at home with crazy people.
I'm starting to stake out "normal" or possibly healthy people to spend more time with at school. I always distrust these "normal" people, try to make them seem lower than me.
wow, I need a wakeup call
I think I'll still stay mostly in my comfort zone, but tone it down from miserable, angsty people to people how are just plain weird. I can totally handle weird, THAT is in my comfort zone.
I hope I learn better (as I never learned properly how to live in the first place)
but a big virtual hug to all you troubled people out there; I still like you since we can understand each other
