Maybe social conformity is the reasonthat groups of people intimidate me.
the wrong line
consistently
I define minority
I don’t understand why
people cannot affect
my eyes
self-preservation
doesn’t come naturally
not bravery or naiveté
genetic vulnerability
a fool
an overgrown puppy
I rush in
the room crashes all over me
I feel anxiety
I've done something horribly wrong
The strangest part is that people think that I have a choice about this.

I want to say "Me too!"
Analyse that.
Funny how the Punks worshipped anarchy but all looked much the same.
I like to think I am brave (or possibly mildly autistic) but I hope I am not just saying it because your post makes me want to associate. I appear to be experiencing both truths at once.
Hey Cheryl,
My friend, Luke says that bravery and vulnerability are a powerful combination. Nothing wrong with opposing truths. Highly creative people tend to have them.
I like it that you want to say me too! Thanks. Me too to you too!

I admit I'm still confused and daunted by the pressure of the majority. In other words, I still don't "embrace" my differentness completely. Maybe it's because I act and look "normal" on the outside; therefore normal behavior is expected. But the pixie is starting to assert itself! It's not so much about being brave, as being true to yourself. Yes, it takes courage, but as you said, it's not a choice.
Garnet,
It's about learning how you are alike AND how you are different. Then being proud of both. At least that's what I'm finding out.
It seems to me that more of us feel different than we know.
smiles,
Liz
