Not feeling part of, feeling inadequate, feeling like you don't fit in, I know those feelings well and struggle with them. Feeling kind of like the new kid at school, except I'm 43.
That's why I enjoy the fellowship so much. It's nice to know there are others just like me, who have been what I've been through. I call them "my people" now.
OT--I often don't feel "a part of"; I've heard that said about alkies but wondered if it wasn't another of the ISMS making the human condition somehow more individualized. Actually; I don't drink anymore (but a sip once in a great while) but I have wondered about all that,too.
What makes me feel the most like I do not fit in is that I do not like to be around much drinking anymore,and everywhere I go or look,there it is. Drunk people annoy me!
thanks for the mini-vent!
