Difference Is Not Deficient

There's that one thing that everyone does but you don't. Most often we try to engage ourselves with it but we just don't find it interesting. It's funny when I hear comments like every guy does it, unfortunately, nature didn't include me in those every-guy. I am only different, it doesn't make me deficient. There are several things I don't do and I believe it started from my childhood programming.

I grew up in a village with a typical setting where just a few things matter to the people living there. Things like, hunting for rats, playing with cashew nuts, swimming, etc. And I structured my life around them.

A few years later, new things were introduced and I didn't bother myself to get involved with them. One of those things is "Watching football matches". I have never been involved with football, I don't watch matches nor do I have a fanclub. Sometimes my friends ask if I'm a guy because I'm not a fan of almost everything that guys get involved with like playing football, watching football, socializing, political talks, etc. I'm just there living a calm and almost isolated life. Difference Is not deficiency, I just didn't take them for priority and that has lowered my involvement with them.

While I was serving in the southwest. My friends will all go out to watch the champion and premier league and I'll be left alone in the room. Then I decided to join them one day, I didn't even know what was happening in the viewing center. I found myself busy with my phone while others were busy enjoying the show and shouting at the top of their voices. I couldn't wait for the match to end because it wasn't as fun as they have always presented it to be. I just sat there like a dummy and not even knowing who was wearing a certain jersey. I know my Friend got tired of me as I kept asking irrelevant questions. I just knew football wasn't for me.
