Is adolescence just a perpetual state of alienation from people around you and yourself ?

I’m reaching a point where no one really “gets” me.

They don’t get my humor, my likes, my dislikes or any thing about me….

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

I’m at my step dad’s lake house and it’s in a gated very upper class neighborhood.

Everyone was very “successful” and wealthy, and it was just so weird seeing all of this drama and gossip from people who seem to have it all.
