Yes, I think you're an outlier. But, so what? I don't like coffee, so I'm also an outlier. The IT Crowd had several scenes about how the male IT staff didn't like football, including trying to fake it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msN7HNncHik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msN7HNncHik .
(Related, the sketch comedy troupe It's A Southern Thing, had a video of someone who lived in the US South and didn't like American football: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v08kE5KdpI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v08kE5KdpI )
Marathon runners are outliers. People who don't want smart phones are outliers. People who have eaten lutefisk are outliers. People who don't drink alcohol at all are outliers. People who attend Wednesday evening prayer service are outliers. People who don't eat meat are outliers. Readers of romance novels are outliers. If people who drive stick aren't outliers now, they will be within the next few decades.
The list of people at least three times the standard deviation from common practice goes on and on.
I'm sure everyone is an outlier somehow.
