weird rambling
It feels strange, growing up in a smallish town in a mostly unimportant part of the US, being so sheltered by my helicopter parents that I started hating "popular culture" because it was something ~everybody else~ knew about and I knew nothing about and if I didn't know about it it must be something bad because my parents grew up telling me I should know everything, it's expected of me, and god now I just feel awful thinking about how shitty my parents were to me growing up x.x

@Raspberryfloof this... resonates really well with me, my parents were similar but i never really realized they were the cause of those feelings... *hugs*
weird rambling
ANYWAY I was going to say that I felt like I don't have any shared cultural connection with anybody except for things that happened on the Internet, and I guess now after I wrote what I just did I understand why :S
but I feel like an outsider anywhere I go and don't really have any connections to anywhere or anything and forming those connections is really hard for me too x.x
