I have a reply to most of the points you've brought up which I hope will help you see another perspective. Some things I hadn't even thought of until you wrote this (thanks). But I don't have time to write them all now, nor do I want to type it all out at my phone. Leaving this comment as a reminder.

It's really not about being "the weird kid", some of us just legitimately have light sensitivity. Me and all my siblings have it, cause my mom has it. My dad is the only one who likes bright lights and the rest of us prefer darker lighting. Well I do like the sun, so not always, but most indoor lighting feels way brighter than sunlight and feels strange on my eyes.
