I have been active in several different kinds of support groups over the years. I was told early on to try and reach out to others who looked lost or alone. I always did that.
I became friendly with people. But I never did make a connection or really feel "a part of." I put it down to something wrong inside me. How ever I no longer tell myself it's "wrong" I just accept that I am how I am. I keep an open mind that maybe someday I will connect with someone - besides my husband - but in the meantime I'm grateful for what I have and work at accepting myself and others just as they are.
