No... (pause) you are not alone — you have yourself.
You have your own trust and love (pause.) You have your very objective self-judgment.
You do not need to try and impress yourself, because you already do (pause.) You accept yourself as you are. Yes. Unlike others.
(Long pause).
Right. (pause) It's not enough but it's certainly better than nothing.
Stop looking for reasons... blaming yourself, because you won't find anything.
As you've already said... you've never met anyone being a better friend than yourself (pause.) You've never HAD a better friend than yourself... 'cause no one seems to understand you... accept you, love you... as you do... yourself.
It's not that you're not good enough... you're far more than it. You know how much so many people adore you... (pause.) You barely know anyone else who can leave such a rarely great impression after themselves without even meaning to...
Now seriously. Your charm instantly attracts hundreds of adult people to your side, whether you actually had any sort of interaction with them or not. You know that, others know that (pause.) I think it's what people call an aura... that thing you radiate out...
(Long pause.)
You are a rare person... so what is wrong?... (pause.)
Well... your gap between your physical and psychological age probably has a lot to do with it. Look at your friend list... none of your friends has that same physical age you have... they're all older, adult in some way, as you are. Yes, that explains why you've never attracted socially to people within your age group, be it boys and girls. That explains why the only girls you enjoy being with are... no longer "girls" but older ones... mostly parents. This explains why you've always prefered to spend more time with the adults than with guys or girls within your physical age group. This explains why you were alone during brakes at school, after school at noons, during holidays... after you finished high school... (pause.)
Did you *really* want to be beside those "kids"? (pause.) No.
(Pause. Taking a slow, deep breath)
Now that leads to a clear conclusion. Those "kids" were always okay. You always used to blame them for being what they are... so infantile, so self-centered... you always used to blame them for not understanding you... for not truly accepting you... they were alright. It is *you* who were different. Yeah, you were more than okay as well, you were just... far older than them. It *is* that simple. It now feels like a situation in which a big company's boss goes seeking for management partners in their children's kindergartens... if you only understood that back then... hell, you wouldn't suffer so much.
So that's one of the major down sides of this quality you have. On the other hand, it's full of up sides as well. Your adult thinking prevented, prevents and will keep preventing you from risking your life and health... it's not a coincidence why you've never surrendered to cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, initiated a violent fight, or ever done any sort of extreme sports that might endanger you and your body.
Another up side is the fact that you easily leave a very good impression on those older than you, say, the one who pays your salary, the one to whom you pay your rent, your admission committee in college, and the list goes on. Another thing is the fact that spending more time as an adult in early ages makes your life secure in the future, since you gather a lot of life experience and you learn to keep problems out of your life stage in advance. It's like you got this privilege of going back in time as an adult, with your adult thinking, and not put yourself in any problems from the first place. Just like that...
Yeah... having physically older friends is not a problem, so this quality is definitely a rare treasure that I'm glad to have... and if an hour ago I found myself crying for this lonely life... I now look at the mirror with that big grin on my face, having my life code finally cracked.
I love my life.

thank you for posting this. really.
I wish you only devoted more than a tiny second of reading per sentence. I believe that if you only spent a tiny moment more, you wouldn't think of me this way.
I believe you'd also realize this wasn't written as a work of art, but intuitively, as a self-conversation that shouldn't be criticized by literal terms.
No offend please, but I'd also recommend reading some more prose, also professional one. You will instantly notice that (pauses) are commonly used all around. A quick example that crosses my mind would be Miller's All My Sons, though more exist.
Thank you for your time, and I surely welcome you to go up and read it back again.
Have a good day.

Has anything changed in your approach to it the last days?

"but there are also these moments when you take the time to look at "normal" people around you and then you know you would always choose to remain you, even if you will feel detached from most people for the rest of your life, than to be like everybody else" — wonderful, touching words.
Thank you so much for devoting the time to write this. It means a lot to me.

No, the best way, for me at least, is to carry on. If I lose friends, their loss, there are always more people waiting to meet more people.
And if it ever gets to me, there's always a few Cults I could join. 8P
