Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

I'm not one to shy away from letting people know how I feel, so friends are mostly aware of the issues I'm struggling with. Sadly -as tanisafan pointed out in the comment above- they are not gonna change the things they feel and believe in to appease me. In my warped brain that means they suck, while I thought they were awesome. I'm so used to putting people in either one of those categories that it's very confusing when I apparently can both like and hate people at the same time.
Life was a lot easier when I didn't have to deal with feelings.
