At least, that's what it seems like, but this is really how I feel, and I can't help it.

There are VERY FEW people in my class, let alone my school, who I can look at as equal to myself.

Being closet-gay in a 130-enrollment school, 2000-population town, I've gone through so many inner battles to get to know myself and understand the world.

Same old story.

So when I look at so many people who only think what their parents and our isolated society have told them to think, I feel superior to them.  Not in an arrogant way, but just in the fact that I feel bad for them, because they don't see the world for what it is.

I don't know... it's really tough to put into words.

Is anyone with me?

Yes. I am with you, and unfortunately, most people are shaped by outside influence and blindly obey. Like with institutionalized religion (aka cults).

I see where you're coming from. I pity the people I know who have no sense of self, who have no idea why they do the things they do.  I do shit I don't approve of, but at least I know why I do them and am introspective enough to find some kind of reasoning.

I don't think the majority of kids at my school give any thought to who they are.

It's ironic because you think that you see the world for what it is based on comparisons of yourself vs your rather isolated society.
