While I was at school, I developed a contempt and disgust for what I considered 'normal' humanity and society. I now realise that this was quite hypocritical, but I still get violent urges when I hear people say things like
'Fashion is very important to me'
or
'C'mon, when did anyone ever use Pythagoras' theorem in the real world?'
So I think I would have taken it as a compliment to be distinguished from the rest of humanity in any way at all.
