This is a very old thread but I completely agree... the best hope imo is forgetting about ''normal'' - its a load of crock. Who cares about the ''normals'' and their judgments, most of them are utterly boring and completely wrong. If you have one good friend, or a partner, or a pet? There is nothing ''wrong'' with that. Some of the most horrible people think they are ''normal''.. their so called ''success'' is bs. jmo.
It does sometimes happen that if someone voices any difference of opinion, or dissent, then that person will want nothing to do with you. It is likely that the rejector has an ''issue'' though.... not everything is ''your fault''
