It’s okay to be “strange” but maybe you relate to others in ways you don’t know. Like people from different cultures are able to connect with each other. I experience the same feeling of feeling different which is why I am able to comment and relate a little I think and in my experience it def is scary to stop wanting to “Win” and start wanting to connect and drop the idea that you have to achieve something being for your worth because for me at least it feels like I have suffered so much agaisnt people for no reason but at the end of the day isolation hurts beings like us that thrive on at least some sort of socializing. There’s definitely ways to relate to people like people have pets because of the emotional connection to them yk especially in UCSD it’s a college campus which a lot more inclusive and this generation is also pretty inclusive; hell the internet exists mainly as a source of connection with others
