Someone wrote a post about how alienating it can feel to be atheistic/agnostic when nearly everyone around you is Christian. Ie., how it can feel to have nearly everyone else in the world believe something which seems very unbelievable to you. Upon thinking on it, I realized that I feel alienated from people in many ways, and my lack of religious beliefs is just one of them.

Political beliefs - I don't know many, if any, people around here, who are as liberal as I am.

Food / Animal rights beliefs - I know a few people who are vegetarians, but noone (in person) who is vegan.

Sex - I don't know any other adult in person who is asexual, ie., who doesn't like, or who has never liked, the idea of sex.

Socialness - I don't know anyone else who has as hard of a time dealing with people socially, as I do. I know that there are a lot of people who are shy... but even in terms of having people not able to hear me when I speak, and not able to notice or interpret my facial expressions and physical reactions.... it makes me feel completely isolated a lot of the time.

all unique

We all have unique qualitites that can make us seem isolated at times. the important thing ive found is to value yourself and others for that uniqueness. i know its difficult at times - me saying this to someone else is a case of pot calling the kettle black, but its a good thing to hold onto when u get down

now im going away to take my own advice

dang, sometimes LJ (and/or the internet) acts weird. :) I didn't notice your comment/reply til a few days after you had posted it... because LJ hadn't sent me a notification email. But today I finally got the email. The email must have decided to go on a world journey of exploration before finally heading for its destination.
