       I just feel like I don’t belong or fit in anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of friends and loved ones who surround me and support me. But I feel like I can’t relate with them and I feel like I have to put out a lot of energy for the sake of appearance. If I were left alone, I would recede into my  mind and wander along with my thoughts wherever they might take me, disregarding everything and everyone. Would I be taking full advantage of this life I’ve been given?

       @hobo you're not the only person that feels like this.  Thanks for sharing, now I don't feel so strange.

       @hobo It would sound sarcastic, I guess, if I said "welcome to the club"!But certainly this feeling of being the wrong shape of puzzle piece isn't unfamiliar to me. To some extent, for me, it's related to being autistic, but i think everybody feels it from time to time.[I know someone who always wants to have a "reason" for everything, trauma this or autism that or ADHD some third thing. Frankly it gets exhausting and annoying after a while. She can't seem to just let things be!]

       @hobo I can relate. I feel that way every day, except when I'm helping musicians chronicle their work in the recording studio. My family is fucked up and friends are hard to find.

       @publius that’s a great way of putting how I feel - feeling like a wrong shape of puzzle piece. It’s somewhat comforting to know that I’m not alone and frankly is why I’ve just been putting these toots out there. I’ve told people in my circle exactly how I feel and they seem to just not understand.
