It's unfortunate when other mom's talk poorly of you in front of their kids... I'm chaperoning...

I could have written this. I never fit in with the mum groups at my kids schools. I don't feel bad though. My kids call me weird, but they think thats a plus. "No one else has a mummy like we do" still my favorite thing any of them have said.

I hear you, I could never get in with the normies either. I'm constantly anxious and in survival mode. Occasionally get too comfortable because I'm just trying to be normal and then share too much too quick, lol, that's embarrassing. Can't ever relax. People probably think I'm on drugs but it's really just trauma. So yeah that's me. I can relate to you.

I agree. Being supportive of others removes hatred, conflict, feelings of inadequacy, termoil, discord, bullying, ignorance and intolerance for others who are different or diverse.
Not to mention small mindedness.

A long time ago, I heard sthg which resonated with my experience:

In Europe, it's ok to be eccentric.
In the US, people want more uniformity.

I remember my mother had a rough time fitting in with other moms as well in class, it becomes such a gossip culture and if you're not good at putting on a mask, or don't want to be fake, they will hate you
