Why I Don't Fit In


Why I Don't Fit In

points

Those who think they know me are 'jealous' of me because they think I skipped the Curse of Adam: the 'rendering the sweat-of-your-brow unto the ground until the ground takes you back.'

They think I don't 'work'—living as I do (below appropriate standards) off of an 'insurance-annuity.' (I've written my thoughts about "work," which I define as money-entrained cymbal-clapping which serves the monkeys' masters' purposes.)

The truth is, I have rendered all the sweat my brow to the ground; but the ground wasn't ready to take me. And now, out of respect for the doctors who–in their state-sponsored wisdom–told my parents I was doomed to coma-ville for as long as the machines kept me alive, I can no longer 'render sweat' in public (and if I do, it's seen as "unworthy").

In short, I don't fit in because too few people fit me in.

I never really could understand your writings for their true meanings for you have a very "freaky" way of putting things across! but, I think I have just managed to fathom this one.

I don't think anybody actually fits in. Very few love their jobs and get up in the morning excited to go to work. At best we tolerate each other in the hopes that we can get through the day without killing anyone :)

What happens if said people "fit you in" and you realize that it really isn't what you want? The best thing about being a unique individual and not "borg" is that you can create your own niche - then it is up to you to allow others to "fit in" (which I am sure you will because of your kind and generous nature:).
I remember my mother explaining to me at 13, that I was at an "awkward" age and that was why I had trouble fitting in, apparently, 25 years later, I still haven't outgrown the "awkwardness" but rather have learned to embrace it.
We each must choose our own path, if we are happy, and don't harm ourselves or anybody else, then "fitting in" shouldn't enter into the equation.

As an Aspie, for me, fitting in has never been part of the program (well, there was a time or two when I tried to act like I was just like everybody else, only just a little quieter, but it proved disastrous). And, I've discovered, the older I get, that the more important it becomes to "do my own thing", as they used to say in Hippieland, and it has nothing to do with whether that means gazillions of dollars and a page in People magazine. Frankly, I'm happiest when I'm AWAY from people. Human companionship is highly overrated. Give me a day with my dogs, cats, and all the wildlife that hangs around my home: that's my idea of heaven.
