What is "fitting in" anyway? Make the world revolve around you...enjoy life, enjoy tastes of all kinds of experiences. Who cares if you "fit in" Jeff is this BBS's Napolean Dynamite. DD

It's time to look in the mirror and say: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And, doggonnit, people like me.
I'll be your friend Jeff....always on the look out for a sober person to operate automobiles/make nessasary apologies/phone around to find someone willing to bail me out of jail. Also your vegaterianism means more hot wings for me. The positive things I bring to the friendship include.....include......er hell, i'll have to get back to you on that one.
Fitting in, hangin with people like you, pursueing some interests, doing a certain scene, single or married, the suburban bit ... are merely distractions so people do not have to face themselves and the reality of the World around them. 99% of the people are doing that. Myself included ....i.e, I just love watching the Rockets, when they win, it makes my day ... then I sit back and think .. wtf, it's just a silly game, some guys throwing a round ball into a basket. Why does it affect me so? What does it matter 100 yrs from now if the Rockets win 10 championships? ... What does it really matter now ? There has to be something more ... To "discover yourself" as you put it ... only requires you to be honest with yourself. Ask why and answer it truthfully. Chances are good that you will go crazy or commit suicide or ... you could become a saint.
