People stare at me and I scared some kids off the bus...

I noticed that I could kind of blend a little with the other nonconformists (if you could call me that, since it implies a conscious decision to Not conform, and for me that wasn't the case). For example, drug addicts aren't as quick to judge. While I never really felt accepted into their crowd, I wasn't shunned, either. They were fine with oddness, and let me be there, even though I didn't do drugs. They tolerated me, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

I usually feel safe with druggies. And I think George Orwell said that he'd always found tramps to be very non-judgemental. I can well believe it. I'm not saying it's universal, but it seems that the best people are often to be found at the bottom of the pile.
