I feel... lonely. This is a recent development. Things are good with my husband, but I feel out of step and alienated when trying to relate to virtually every other human being on earth. Pretending to be normal has been so successful for me, I feel like I've lost part of myself. Where are the crazies?
They're absent from my life now, and while the lack of drama was nice at first, now I am so bored.

I think I want to start a blog about being insane and trying to live in the "sane" man's world. I have a lot to say on the topic, and assumed no one wanted to hear it, but now I wonder...
- Lo
Lo, why don't you start a lodge of the Cacophony Society where you are? That'll bring the crazy to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Lately I've been struggling with what I call "passing" (can't resist the old slave-era terminology, lol!). I've been able to control my issues well enough that most people wouldn't guess I have them. It's easier to live this way, I get to take advantage of "sane privilege" but I also lose so much of my identity. For a long time I felt a sort of guilt because so many people can't "pass" even if they want to, but now I wonder what's the cost? I lose so much freedom of expression, and eliminate any possibility for understanding.

They're idiots/weirdos, but still neurotypical and actually incredible intolerant in their own way. I've actually never felt this much social pressure to fit in (since middle school). If you eat a GMO, you're basically going to hell. Plus I don't drink, so I'm a freak to begin with.
