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.
