I think this is very common, but hidden. It's probably also a sign that you are experience a re-formation of your identity, which is often a good thing. You need to be productive with this period in your life, and watchful, and careful.

But I don't think the weed is going to help.

Yes, this is a time for you to discover yourself and try to let the inner you take control instead of trying to please everyone else.

Im going through this too, youre not alone, and youre not a f**, retard or any of that. I think alot of people go through this and at one point they realize it while some can live their whole lives changing faces.

I still almost always feel out of place around friends, even family. I dont know how to get over this, Im struggling, but I do usually remind myself that I have deserve to be wherever I am, theyre no better than me, everyone has their issues.

Not trying to sound preachy, but from experience the weed only intensifies this feeling. And can make u more depressed. For me, I was eventually having panic attacks and had to cut it out completely.

Have u seen a therapist?
