I hate it when people are ignorant enough to say that we endure (my bad, "FAKE") some level of misery for ATTENTION.... I'm glad that is sounds like you have some people on your side, though... I mean, you have all of us here, but we all know people we meet in 3D have a greater impact. "adjust to being strange"... lol... I did that a long time ago... and as long as you're not telling yourself that there is no way out of this, rather that you don't need to be like everyone else, I'd say that's fine... hang in there, I know it's not easy.
