> I don't know you very well, but I think I know something of the feelings you are expressing. For a long time I wanted to be like everyone else, and at times I still do. I don't want to stick out; I want to be able to blend in with everyone else and disappear. I want people to stop talking about me.
> I think I've begun to learn though that for the most part, they aren't talking about me; that what's really troubling me isn't reality, but my fears. For me, the real challenge is in being me, and not being ashamed of doing so.
> I don't know... maybe that's the challenge for all of us...to be out there, and to be ourselves.

> Dee.
Dee / SusanDee, I agree with what you're saying. I do find it hard to be myself in a world that is so different. I can sympathize with Susan. I feel the same as her. I feel like I'm an alien on a foreign planet and waiting for my spaceship to come back and get me before I go even more crazy than I already am.
