Why I Hate Being an Annex

Do you ever feel like an annex? Like you're just an afterthought, an addition to someone else's life? That's how I feel. I'm the annex to my family, my friends, and even my own life.
I was born into a family of four, but I was always the odd one out. My parents were both doctors, and my older brother was a star athlete. I was the quiet, bookish one who spent most of my time alone in my room.
As I got older, the gap between me and my family only grew wider. My parents were always busy with their work, and my brother was always off with his friends. I felt like I was living in a different world from them.
I tried to make friends, but I never really fit in. I was always the shy, awkward one who didn't know what to say. I was always the one who was left out.
As I got older, I started to resent my family and friends. I felt like they didn't understand me, and I didn't understand them. I started to withdraw from them more and more.
Now, I'm 25 years old and I still feel like an annex. I'm still the quiet, bookish one who spends most of my time alone. I've tried to change, but I can't. It's who I am.
I don't know what the future holds for me. I don't know if I'll ever find a place where I belong. But I do know that I'm tired of being an annex. I'm tired of being the one who's left out.
I'm not sure what the answer is, but I'm determined to find it. I'm going to keep trying to change, and I'm going to keep searching for a place where I belong. I'm not going to give up.
I'm not going to be an annex forever.
