We may tell ourselves and be told that being different is a good thing. In a world where everyone wants to be like someone else, it really is beautiful to find something so rare. In love stories, the quiet and shy girl is always the one who gets a happy ending even though she is not understood by the majority of the school body.
"Never mind what people say. You are just fine the way you are."
But that is not how we feel. In fact, it is the exact opposite. We like being alone, doing my own thing away from the crowd. But, sometimes we crave interaction with our peers and that is a hard thing for a person who isn't normally social to do.
We don't know where to begin most times and those seldom times when we do start something somewhere, it really does not go anywhere. It is almost as if we are aliens in our own world speaking a different language from everyone else.
I've tried it a lot of times I should be used to it but, each time it happens it leaves a bruise in my heart and my mind with questions and unsupported conclusions on why we cannot fit in.
The girl in a love story would eventually be accepted into society and actually be able to make full on conversations with all kinds of people, strangers and friends but in real life she would probably be too shy to say anything else besides 'hi' because she is not sure how it would be received.
Is there a book to living life I haven't read that everyone else in the world has?
