I feel like a social outcast but I'm not 100 percent sure that I am but I feel as though my parents and certain places on the internet rejected me and I don't have any friends.

Like toes, in the mornings I put on socks and shoes and do not think about them or see them until evening or nighttime.

But without them I would fall flat on my face.

You are you and you are needed just as much as we need toes.

Whats so great in being as everyone else?

Go with the flow, yeah sure, even a dead salmon will go with the flow.

Glad that you started this thread so we can offer you some Christian advice.

Sure you know - important to forgive everyone you need to. (Matt 18:21-22, Mark 11:25). Asks for His help to love Him, others, and yourself as He desires (Matt 22:37-39).

Also, looking at Psa 91:
Some of God's promises are in Psa 91. Many Scriptural promises, as in Psa 91, are stated "If" "Then."
Primarily, the "If" for these promises is v1-2 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." This is our real home. A place of unconditional love, constant connection - communication, honor, trust, respect, personal relationship.
v2 Cling and stay clinging (v4) to the Lord, calling on Him (v15), and declare "'He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust."
(Realized that I needed to start that day being diligent about v1-2).

Then -
v3 "Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler..." The snare of the fowler are traps tailor made by the enemy. Rejection can rob us of peace and joy. But we have the authority (delegated power only because of Christ) to tell the enemy to go and he has to flee from us We can tell rejection to leave us in the name of Jesus. (I Peter 5:8; Luk 10:19; Jam 4:7; Eph 6:10-18; Joh 8:36, 14:13-14).

Also, God will help us renew our minds. The Holy Soirit guides us to truth (John 16:13). Our part is to take every thought captive based on I Cor 10:5 -"casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,"

That means when we have thoughts that are not in line with Scripture, we can repent and immediately focus on God and His Word (the truth) such as the following. We declare who we are because of Him.
-"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." (Psa 139:14)
-“The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” (Job 33:4)
-God says "I will put ligaments on you, place muscles on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh." (Eze 37:6)
-"a]because if thou shalt [b]confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:" (Rom 10:9)
-"But now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah’s blood." (Eph 2:13)
-'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12).

"What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]" (Rom 8:31).

"Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise and give thanks to Your name; For You have done miraculous things, Plans formed long, long ago, [fulfilled] with perfect faithfulness." (Isa 25:1).
