We're all here to support you, and it is nice that you feel comfortable enough to share this aspect of yoruself with all of us. The bottom line is this, it takes a lot more effort, and will cause you a lot more grief and stress in the end, to try and fake who you really are just to keep up some false concept of "normal."

"Normal" is a relative term, so instead of concerning yourself with what your school, friends or society views as normal, you need to thrive to find your own sense of normal, which I think you're already aware. You will find that accepting yourself for who you are will bring you much more joy in the long run, instead of spending extra energy trying to deny your own identity out of fear of what others may think.

People will always find something to judge you over, whether it's your gender identity, your appearance, your income, your car...hell, the list goes on, and it gets longer as you get older. So, love yourself for who you are, and try to surround yourself with people that will support you for who you are.

There are many people I know who are well into their 30's and 40's that are still trying to figure themselves out, so in this regard, you are ahead of the curve. Be proud of who you are, and don't let others define you.
