Don't worry. Have you chosen to go on to college? I would HIGHLY suggest it--IF you wanna go and only if. There you will be sure to meet, like you are anticipating--many many different cool and smart and (maybe even especially) "like minded" people. And it'll be fun as shit. (And hard as hell, or it should be at least :)) And it'll probably cost you a bunch of money in debt. And--depending on your major--you probably won't find a job "in your field," and you'll have to end up blogging on steemit, with a bunch of other cool people, for spare change. So I guess you might as well just do as you are.
