I hate being in the middle and not fitting in

Sometimes I think its a good thing but many times I feel so frustrated that I'm often in the middle and don't fit anywhere, largely because it complicates life and makes it hard to have friends.  To give an idea of why:

- I'm biracial of two very different races (and can't fit in either one)
- I'm sexually fluid or pansexual, including at times attracted to women emotionally and men sexually (I can't fit in with both straight and gay people)
- I'm not male but not fully female, and at times I feel gender fluid.  I in general feel like in the middle  (I don't feel like I can fit in with cisgendered women)
- I'm much more intellectual than the average person, but not intellectual enough to hang around with the nerds and geeks
- I get along more with people a lot older than me than people of my age (I don't fit in with my peers)
- I'm in between economic classes

I don't have an idea about being able to fit in.  Sometimes I like it, but many times it frustrates me in that I can't have a real identity and easily make friends as a result.
