Adam, I am 28 years past 21, but I would have LOVED you when I was that age. The "macho" guys were full of excrement, and I was always drawn to men who didn't wear that mask.
I was very beautiful, and chose a man who is by no means handsome. Or macho. He's a big, bearded guy who is as gentle as they come. He sleeps with a stuffed animal. He's 50 years old. He's masculine but not macho.
I think when you get to know others, you'll find many are like us. I honestly don't think I know anyone who would say "I am normal" in any general sort of way. I mean, I may be a normal in lots of ways, but I don't feel like a "normal person"... oh, it's hard to explain, but do you see what I am making a poor attempt at saying?
Because you are thinking about these things at so young an age, I think you'll learn, you'll work at learning how to relate to people more easily, and I think you'll find love and friendship. And I could really relate to what you wrote.
I hope you have a good therapist on your side.
(((Adam)))
