The alien among them

Remember being like 5 when you just felt like you belonged.  No matter where you were.  School, home, and even just in the community you never had that feeling of otherhood.  That sense of not belonging there, like an alien left behind.
  I feel like that often in a group of people like I am other.  I know it is the voice inside me.  It does not make it any less real,  less true yes, less real for me No.  I compensate by becoming super funny and charming and a bit too gregarious.
  I  know this can make others somewhat off put.  I attract the wrong attention a lot to.  I can blame all kinds of things not fitting in in school.  Not marching to the drum everyone else does.  Not wanting views forced on me.  I am strong willed and very strong voiced this can make others feel like it is aggressive but I am not willing to but pushed to your way of thinking.  Can I be persuaded well yes the use of cake is often very useful in that regard.

  Buddhists believe that the only mind that cannot learn is a closed mind.  There is no one truth.  So if you have decided a truth you cannot see the other possible truths.
