menschlich

As a very introverted person, this sounds about a million times more enjoyable to me than my middle school / high school experience.

Perhaps for some people, middle school / high school (especially the latter) are "some of the best years of your life," but they certainly weren't for me. I was picked on a lot, made fun of for enjoying learning / reading, and generally, just didn't fit in. It was a miserable experience. I would have gladly done my own studies in solitude instead.
