I can't belong to groups. I've tried. I behave normally, but people don't look at me normally.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At every point I am besieged by people who would like me to conform to some social norm of whatever sort of social group they expect me to be a part of. I never have any identification with these social groups.
I'm not really part of any group or clique or gang because that's always been my nature.
I feel like an outsider, and I always will feel like one. I've always felt that I wasn't a member of any particular group.
I think better of our behaviour as individuals than I do when we see ourselves as members of a group. It's when people start forming groups that we have to watch our backs.
Every different social group that I encountered had its different set of rules, so you learn very quickly how to pick up the nuances and change yourself accordingly. When you are not from anywhere, you have to try to find what's universal. You are always trying to fit in.
There are a lot of groups that feel a little bit strange around me, because I am inclusive.
I've never had friends, and I don't like to be around big groups of people.
It's a bit loose and the people in my group have got other groups. They don't have to have a total allegiance to me. I think that's really a bit weird and showing some weird insecurity.
We've all got to look at ourselves, start with yourself, that's all you can do. I believe that we can act responsibly as a group, it's just that there are vested interests telling us not to bother.
I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people.
