I've never met a girl who thinks like you.A lot of people tell me that, she said, digging at a cuticle. But it's the only way I know how to think. Seriously. I'm just telling you what I believe. It's never crossed my mind that my way of thinking is different from other people's. I'm not trying to be different. But when I speak out honestly, everybody thinks I'm kidding or playacting. When that happens, I feel like everything is such a pain!

The protagonist reflects on her distinct thinking style, noting that many people comment on how unique her perspective is. She expresses frustration over the perception that she is trying to be different or humorous when she is simply sharing her authentic beliefs. This struggle highlights the disconnect between her genuine thoughts and how others perceive them.

She emphasizes that her approach to thinking has always felt natural and not intentionally distinct from others. However, the misunderstanding she frequently encounters makes her feel burdened and alienated, demonstrating the challenges of being true to oneself in a world that often misinterprets sincerity.
