Am i weird because I barely know things about tech and the new culture of my generation?
Really sorry about how long this is but please read. Well yes I'm old enough to have one but personally I feel like it is a waste of time. I can barely understand how fb and twitter works. I mean on fb, you are not going to really see ALL of those people that you friend are you? And what if they are creepers? what do you do then? And twitter seems really weird to me. Both of them to me seem like procrastination and that slows me down from doing stuff. But when I have to tell someone that I don't have one they call ME the hermit and laugh at me. You can't have 1,000 friends and think your social can you?

Then I barely know anything about what some young people talk about these days. Like the grammy stuff? I don't even watch it and when i tell people that i haven;t they ask "what is wrong with you?", and i go "I don't know why are you asking?.". I can't stand the new music right now like Justin Beaver(and whatever you you him) and Nicki Mina and One direction. When I listened to the Nicki song i hear it and i go "Wait haven't i heard this before?" because it doesn't seem new and it has no real meaning to it anymore. I listen to a lot of old stuff and people judge me for that too. They judge me for wearing clothes that actually fit me and doesn't show my butt all the time because I guess that's what's in now. And that's the only way guys will like you. They go "You have such a nice figure you should start wearing some better clothes." and I'm like slip you because I don't care. Sorry.

It's even worse because I'm young and most people my age have plenty of accounts and songs from those people. I'm just now getting accustomed to the whole "Technical thing" you know. I only have one account and it's my yahoo account. Not really used to always using the internet and text. People really laugh at me when I tell them I didn't know what text stuff like lol and omg is(which I do now but I don't know the rest). So I don't really know how to use the tablets people use either. But when I tell them about new books and things that have nothing to do with technology I'm told that i'm a weirdo. They also tell me that no guy will like someone who doesn't know what "lol" means even though I don't think that is true. I was never really into the tech stuff I love just living my life and talking to people in person. I love giving out random cool facts to people but they say I'm weird for that too.

Is there something wrong with me? Should I feel stupid and wrong for not being as tech savvy as the rest of my friends and generation are? I feel like I'm left out on a lot of things. I feel like the odd ball in conversations. Now I feel like this might effect me trying to find a guy who will understand the things I say because I act like a "hermit". Is this true? What man would want to be around a person that just figured out yesterday how to use "omg" and doesn't even know how to use a tablet? Should I be worried that I am not the same as most young people? Or am I fine just the way I am and I'm just overreacting? I'm in a complex situation right now and my studies in psychology is not helping me please tell me what I should do if this were you. What are your opinions to this?
