On being an outsider
People don't seem to understand me, my intentions, or my approach to things. So, that tends to leave me on the outside... even when I am an invited "guest" to the inside. My jokes often (not always, but often) go over their heads, my comments often result in that knowingly and silent glance that I have said something off-key that everyone but me knows (even though I pick up on that "glance"). I don't see any way out. I guess I'm destined to be an outsider. There doesn't seem to be any solution.
