This response is exactly why I share my personal experience - and I am so glad you shared yours in kind. I think I can imagine how you feel. I do know what it can feel like to be considered an outsider, and to be alone among groups. I used to get sad about it a lot - now less so - I'm not sure if that's because I'm stronger at this point or if my heart has hardened, or maybe a combination of the two. All I know for sure is that making this type of connection with another human being somehow lightens the load and makes it all worth it over and over.
