You say you can't relate to other people in your group because you have a different set of expectations. Well, unless you are unbelievably charming, most of the people you meet are not going to follow you in your world of expectations. Don't reject their goals because they are different, don't reject their experiences because they are different to yours, as a matter of fact, try to find where they are the same, what brings them enjoyment or sadness. That when you are at that moment with them, forget how different they are and just be with them, listening and interacting with them. Life is a set of experiences, and a more fulfilled life is a life that doesn't go around rejecting possible outcomes all of the time. I mean, is not like you are in a ghetto or in a war environment and your life is at risk of ending if you follow someone different than you for a while, the worst that can happen is that you end up bored.

Well, that's just my opinion.
