How do you confront being different?

agree with jane above, a therapist cld really blow open the doors for you. you may have just stalled at one of the steps for whatever reason and a therapist cld help you identify which one and how to overcome it. i wouldn't get hung up on the thought that no one cld possible understand your odd life. people don't have to have led the same life as you in order to empathize with you, ya know? most people are the same at the root and understand pain and hurt and disinterest even when their contexts are totally different.
