I canā€™t really think of a specific time I felt anonymous, like my story was untold or forgotten . I do feel there has been a point in time where the people around me didnā€™t really know me . Honestly Iā€™ve always been content with being around a small group of people or alone. There has been times where I felt I was disconnected from a lot of the people around me. Most people say that Iā€™m mature for my age and that my mindset isnā€™t like most. During my last year in high school I felt that I had outgrown a lot of people. Many all throughout high school who I guess were considered ā€œfriendsā€ at the time no longer felt that way when it came down to it. I started to feel as though I didnā€™t value the same things they did. 

   I understand that you can be friends with people and have different opinions and value systems. However I felt it was deeper than that. Something in me felt that the trials through high school showed me who was genuine and who wasnā€™t. The anonymous feeling would be when I had a lot of people around me yet only a few who understood me. I knew what I wanted and there was just certain things I didnā€™t feel the need to associate myself with any longer.  I know that Iā€™m not the only person who felt this way Iā€™ve heard others say the same thing. 

    Sometimes people get offended when you no longer want to maintain a relationship they take it personally. Theyā€™ll take it as you attacking their character and become defensive. If Iā€™ve outgrown anyone it doesnā€™t mean I have any sort of ill feelings towards that person it is simply that I have outgrowing the circumstances that I was in. In way I felt trapped in my high school being that I was with the same people from grades 6-12. I wasnā€™t able to expand and have other options. Finally during my senior year I would get to escape and be exposed to new environments.
