I felt that groeing up in my family but I worked hard to be nothing like them also. My mom said she was sure they gave her the wrong baby in the hospital. My dad had problemd connecting eith anyone & my mom had zero self confidence or esteem. I was active in school, performing music, student government school clubs & excelled in my classes & I had an internal drive that my parents had no concept of. Though because my parents didn't connect to people I was kinda that way too. I didn't have a group of friends I fit in with...i was sort of on the outskirts of many groups...so the not fitting in was a feeling I got often.

Now it has just become a nirmal part of life (age 65) because I still have so many activities I am involved with with so many diffèrent groups if people. At first I still didn't feel comfortsble until I learned how to emotionally connect with the people in every grouo I am with....that has been a new learning process the last 10 years of my life once I was completely away from the people who had been in my life
