I've learned to accept that this is the way I am, I mean, normal 16-yr-olds don't do this sort of thing. But I've long since come to the conclusion that I'm not normal.

As for how I developed it, my aunt thinks that it probably stemmed from either a) how I was forced to be mother to my 6 younger siblings when I like 10 (ya know, growing up too soon and such); b) the abuse I endured; or c) (my own theory) I'm just weird
