Under 18 -- assuming high school. It can really suck.
The thing is, later you find that you might have more in common with more people than you think. In high school, it's the peak of conformity, superficiality, things of this sort.
So people start to dress, act, behave in a conformist sense, conforming to whatever clique to which they belong. That may not even reveal their true selves so much, only that they want to conform and belong.
Later you find a lot more people with whom you share similar interests, at the university level and beyond.
Just try to hang in there and not judge people so much as a spectator looking from the outside. You'll develop a very negative view of people that way, looking only at the surface. Have patience and find the right environments where you can know a lot of people from the inside, their genuine fears, vulnerabilities, life goals, etc., and you'll find a lot more you can admire, as well as a lot more you find in common about all of humanity in general.

It's much better to be single, than with a modern woman.
Secondly, many people are in your position. As long as your standing in society isn't affected you shouldn't be dependent on others... I mean it would be nice if people weren't so mean, but that's the world of the modern west
Yes there are probably thousands of people around the world who are the same as you. I think the main problem stems from the fact that most people would rather stay at home all day playing console games, watching tv, on their computers or glued to their phones. It all becomes so addictive.
Your not alone, I have been through the same phase as you but it was after I left secondary school. My so called friends messed me around. I decided to sever all ties with them as I had enough of them treating me like shit. Then I was left with no one and became a hermit. I didn't find any real friends until I started working. There are so many twisted people out there, just out to manipulate you. It's hard to find true friends that you can actually trust.
