How does one handle being an Outsider?

Realizing that I have no connection to my "family", my friends, nor people I work with because of my upbringing; I did not have a family or a people to say "that's my tribe". Figuring that out now and it is a lot to handle.

But you, Internet person, how do you handle being an Outsider?

Rather easily.

I was a hyper-active, attention-craving kid. Parents were gone, got passed house to house, so I started out like that, you see. My parents got divorced, which pissed off the church and is something you actually get looked down on for as a kid. I was 5, I didn't know. Long story short, I served overseas and got forgotten by just about everyone. I came back to nothing and I've just always been. You may relate to some of that. I just do. I have my interests and I entertain myself.
