It appears to be impossible for me to belong to any group in a meaningful way. Why? Even "fringe" groups that are supposedly based and filled with dissidents and heretics. It's not like I'm just mean to people or go out of my way to start shit with them, either. I just don't belong anywhere. I don't even belong with the people who don't belong anywhere. The groups filled with people who aren't accepted anywhere else won't accept me, either. It's crazy. I laugh at this, but it also brings despair and a sense of extreme isolation. Every time I enter a new group or mingle, I'm always aware that at any moment I will be rejected for any number of reasons. Am I just destined to be groupless? Or maybe I haven't "found my tribe"? Perhaps my tribe is here? As much as I want to, I can't seem to give up on the fact I need community and other people to socialize with in a meaningful way. I hate that I need other people, but I can't deny it either. So what can I do? I'm not even really that weird or creepy. If you met me, you'd think "this is a nice person" as I'm generally likable and friendly. I just don't fit any anywhere, though. The outsider in every crowd or party.
