Have you ever felt like all of your life you we're different compared to most people your age? Especially when you we're so much younger & maybe we're even still in junior high or high school? Or maybe even at your first job? Did it ever seem like what you we're interested in was always so different compared to others interests.. And it was difficult for you to come across people who we're some what like you.. Who had the same interests or opinions on matters.. Did you ever wish you would stumble across people such as this sometimes? Do you now at this point in your life.. Feel like you have come across people who you can identify with? Please share what you've been through in regards to this.. Please explain how it had made you feel at the time.. Let me know how it made you feel to come across those people you could identify with.. If you have actually come across those people in your life these days.. Thanks for sharing with me your experiences, as well as feelings! . .

I've come across very few people in my life that I could truly identify with, that shared my same interests and passions. My sister is one that I can share anything with and we truly hold the same things dearly. My sons and I share the same passions about nature and wildlife. Aside from my family, there's so very few people who I can genuinely identify with. I've always seemed to have different feelings about everything...too many people I know worry about the things in life that don't even interest me...they worry about their hair and perfect makeup, where they're going to party this weekend, etc. I don't worry about such things. I have far more important things to do with my life and my time. Superficial and material things just don't matter to me. I live really a very simple life, but I guess my mind has always been very complex. I study things that a lot of people don't. I marvel at the simple, natural things. It seems like most people I know other than my family don't think like I do, so it has made a big difference in my life as far as friends that I could connect with and identify with. They are few and far between, but when I find them, I feel a lot of love towards them and the things they hold dearest.
