perhaps you have risen above the dirt...

Most people are really only sample copies. Of them it may be said: They derive benefit out of living, but the world has no benefit out of their having lived.
To be like the others is humankind’s degeneration, the degradation to copies.
The crowd is like an envelope. One receives a large package, thinks it is something important, but look, it is a package of envelopes.

Nope . I do not feel as a misfit because I understand and truly believe that not all the members of a family think alike . A person starts feeling misfit if he thinks that either he or the others are not thinking on proper lines . Where as I think that two individuals can have a difference of opinion which is not a big deal . The time, effort & wisdom should be applied in accepting the fact that there can be different view points to the same issue .
Still, if ever I find myself in meaningless discussions then I just let it go . Life is tooooooooo precious to be wasted on debating over the issues which lack understanding completely . I just move on & do things which are better, pleasant & worth doing .

Well i am the youngest in my family. I never seemed to fit in at home or out in the community. I have been told I am 1 of a kind dont know if that is a good thing or not. But I just keep on doing what I do dont think you need to change just to be accepted true people with good hearts will accept you for you.

Yes and yes. I grew up in a society I could never understand and felt a misfit all my life. As soon as I was able I left. I studdied and made a life in another country and I am very happy where I am. It is a strange high price I paid for having a very high I.Q. but that is the way it is sometimes. Neither I or my culture of origin were "bad" we simply were not made for each other. I keep in touch with my family and I love them but I am never able to visit for very long or understand them.

LOL. nice question. i suppose the answer is yes. no, I'm not supposing. i am sure it is a yes. i don't feel like a misfit in my family. we all have our own different identities and my family lives with that. they appreciate who i am and i appreciate who they are.
but the community part, that has to be where the "misfit" part fits in. i have to accept the fact that i will never be your normal "teenager". whatever that category entails. compared to high school, i was your shy good girl but now in college, I'm the boyish rebel in class. LOL. and i don't particularly care. i go to school to learn, not to please my professors. they don't really mind. but i have a professor now that i always irk somehow. lol. i don't know. maybe he's just not used to having a student react so transparently to what he teaches...considering his position...he's our college dean. i never try to downplay my reaction and somehow, he's not used to that. i don't care. LOL. like last week, we were confirming an answer in our exams...the question ended up into a heated argument between him and the class. everybody defended...i was just silent, observing how things were until i got to the point of boiling...he was just so wrong...i made a side comment to my seatmate and my classmate had to scold me because apparently it was so loud that our professor might have heard me. again, i don't care. i have lost respect in him. he had all the authority but he's not wielding his right as a mentor.
so back to the question, how do i cope with it? LOL. im my own harshest judge. and at some point, we have to think that we make our own situations. yes, nobody's going to be normal. what is normal anyway?! but we have to live with ourselves. because i mean, if we can't forgive and live by who we are, then why do we expect others to treat ourselves differently? and besides, being different is what makes us unique. we have our own role to play in this big universe. who knows, what might come normal to you might affect other people's lives for the better.
>>>i just had to answer this one. now back to my books. later Sim!

YES, but I am the red-headed stepchild! By the way...you can either by a misfit or go along with everyone else and be a conformist. Either way you will probably always ask yourself..."why am I such a misfit?"

honey u r special & unique and some familys can never accept those qualities, love them for what they want to be, but never allow them or their skeptism to hold you back.Try to not involve your life too much with them, or their negativity can be a very bad effect on your talents & happiness.
you must find what you love to do, your talents, & share them with the world, you may be a great writer or photographer?
your blog is beautiful, thank you
yes, i cope with that problem by nutritional reinforcement, plenty of seaweed / sushi for zinc to help the brain to cope
evening primrose oil with fish oil for the sadness that my family cannot be accepting and to optimise happiness
and st johns wort as it started when i was young, it was a stresss then!!

you cope with it by starting your own family or finding the community who will be more acceptable of your views. You cannot make everyone to like you, and it certainly does not worth trying to change yourself for a single purpose of pleasing others. Instead, define your own believes, and make friends or build your own family with those who will be happy to share your believes.

oh yes. (within my family) I just try to ingnore it all and go about my buisness. I have plans on moving out by next year so then I won't have to deal with it.
Chances are you are turning out better than all of them and that is why you don't fit in.
Good Luck! I hope you find the strength to ignore it all and realize it will get better eventually.

I have certain convictions which at times places me at odds with others.
Being a person that does not believe in compromising my beliefs coping is not an issue for me.
It's the way it is and that's that.
