I have had some success being friends with some "outsiders"...ie punks,goths,lesbians...
but even in these groups there tends to be a "group think" that ends up excluding me...as soon as the group tries and change me(ie...generaly more open mined but still feel need to conform to looking or acting like what ever that group feels makes them ,them)This just annoys me and I run for the hills again....
I found it suprisingly easy to be excepted in "forced groups"...ie...psyc wards, CD treatment,AA groups....for awhile, but never seem to maintain the relationships because once we are on the outside, my "differences" seem to bother them and vice-versa...kind of sad
