You are very fortunate to be able to see things this clearly. A lot of people are blind when it comes to this stuff and just follow the herd. I think being a teenager is more tough than people realize sometimes. It's the one stage in your life where it's really hard to find yourself and combine that with all the hormones raging through your body most kids are a mess. I know I was, coming from a background of social anxiety and depression, I was pretty much an outcast because of my own doing. But it sounds like things are really coming together for you. Oh and 18 is young and a really good age to be solidifying this mindset, I'd say you are ahead of most the other guys out there.
