Sorry to hear about your feelings Mizzuno. I've been there recently and am still struggling. Related to your most recent "run-in" with the hippie granola lady - I'd let it roll of your back, if you can. It's only natural for someone who feels rejected to lash out...after all, we alcoholics do it pretty often, right? Normal people do that too!

You were delivering bad news - the old saying "don't shoot the messenger" is there for a reason...because people so often DO shoot the messenger! Wrong place, wrong time, nothing more.

You fit in. You fit in just perfectly here, in fact. And you're not an outcast or a weirdo, you're a unique person who I'm sure adds a lot to the lives of your friends and the folks in your neighborhood and town. Glad to see you're posting here and not deleting it - it shows you're getting your head on straight and not afraid to ask for help. Sounds like your instincts are firing on all cylinders.
