Quote

You go through your life feeling like an outsider, and you respond to society in a different way when you feel like an outsider.

I think there is something a little too self conscious about enjoying being an outsider.

I've always felt myself to be an outsider. I've always felt awkward.

Being an outsider means not being heard, not having a voice. It means being treated as a second-class citizen, being diminished in the eyes of others. We have all felt this way at one time or another, but some feel it more consistently. Unfortunately, our schools often do not embrace the talents of many of their occupants.

If you don't belong somewhere, that outsider status you have gives you perspective. Of course, another word for outsider is 'exile,' and that's not fun at all.

There was a time when I was knocking on doors and concerned with being recognized in dominant culture. I've found a space where the terrain is different, where I'm embraced by people like me, and where I'm building new ways of doing things, as opposed to trying to insert myself in a place that might not be welcoming.

I always felt an outsider.

I know what it feels like to be an outsider.

Everybody tries to be exactly the same. I think being an outsider is a good thing.

I think if you are an outsider then you are an outsider always.
