I empathize.
Like you, I was always the oddball.
Childhood pets? Snakes and an armadillo.
Career? Gov't paid psycho.
Fears? Heights and deep water (Go figure? My job required me to free-fall parachute and combat scuba dive).
Investments? Disruptive tech.
Trading style? Contrarian.
The list goes on and on...
I say, "Enjoy life being the enigma!"

I like the way you think @jaichai :)
