I certainly echo Fuse's comment, Glenn! Impressive and revealing, which makes me glad my writing focus is on other people's life stories! "Connecting is important. It’s the biggest scar of feeling like you never belonged." When I read that line, I'm not sure if I felt a twinge of sadness or pain.
Either way, it's certainly relatable! Plus (and the ultimate writing compliment), it's a line I know I could never have conjured! That, and this one: "Learned facts have nothing on knowledge earned."
Like you, I retreated from life in school by burying myself in the sounds on records (Dad had 20,000 LPs & 78s, and routinely brought home new rock promo albums from the radio station he worked at), as well as the words printed on their jackets!
I know I'll be reading this periodically, Glenn...again, well done, and thanks!

Great writing, Glenn. Lots to relate to in this!
