Things we do to fit in
"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

Unreasonable expectations
How exactly do you anticipate fitting in and making friends when it seems you hold a grudge against everyone who you think had it easier than you? You say you never did anything to fit in but since when was going on the internet whining about being bullied and socially inept, "standing up to peer pressure, following your own path and ignoring what everyone else thinks"? A fundamental part of growing up is stating your own individuality, so there are probably more people around that understand the stuff you went through than you think. Trying your hardest not to fit in will never make you a universally loved human being, the sooner you come to terms with this, the better.
