I'm not ok with being no one's cup of tea though. Very lonely.

I’m like, 2 peoples cup of tea. But I’d die for either of them and they’d do the same for me, and that’s all I really need tbh.
I'm too artsy for STEM people but too mathy for art people 🙃

The word "everyone's" is a possessive, and therefore needs an apostrophe.

I learned to embrace my weird in my teens. Of course, it's a lot easier when you have others to be weird with, and I was very lucky with that back then. Lately, I haven't been as lucky.
Can't determine if I'm different or just dysfunctional in an alienating society. I got a few people left, thankfully.
