Is it weird that I like being an outcast?

[The Dude]

I'm a 17 year old male, and growing up I was really shy and awkward for most of my childhood. I was a really late bloomer which caused me to be shorter and weaker than my peers, so I never played sports or did anything like that. Looking back I was a really creative kid though because I always had a lot of time on my hands (like I do now.) I did have a lot of friends throughout life until recently. I don't hang out with anybody anymore so I don't really consider anyone a close friend at least. I did realize that I'm an introvert, I mean even from when I was a kid.

For a while I was living a life that wasn't for me, so I had to distance myself from some "friends". It just seems like my generation is so fake, everybody feels compelled to use dumb websites like twitter and instagram, and I honestly don't understand why. I hate texting and talking on the phone, not the act itself but people having the most trivial conversations while doing so. I don't share any common interests with anyone because I have weird tastes, but I'm not a hipster even though I've been called one before. I feel like if a person truly wanted to get to know me they'd put some effort into it, in which case I wouldn't be hostile at all. I actually have a really unique personality and the few people I talk to on a daily basis in school enjoy my company so it's not that I'm boring or anything.
