Feeling like an outsider is a common situation. Whenever you move, marry, join a new group, etc you can feel that way but many insiders (of course not everyone) find interesting. In a small town things are quite routine and when a new person comes along they bring experiences and stories that are interesting. This is a matter of your own perception. One of the best ways to combat this is to try new things or pursue a goal you are passionate about. I am starting a new job this month which helps me change up my old routine. Reading interesting novels or seeing great movies sometimes is a good conversation starter too. Get interested in things going on outside of yourself more or learn new information in order to help distract yourself from getting caught up with worry. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time working out. You could learn boxing, karate, yoga.....
