Phoebe, it has been said by many already on your thread, and I know you know it, but be you.
You are not a misfit, well you are, but we all are.
My point is be you. The right persons will be drawn to you at the right times. It is a journey. Focus on the journey, not each interaction.
Also, don't worry what others may think when you are you. Part of DBing is being you and that pertains to this journey. Trust me, as I know we have forgotten this as we dedicated all of us to one person and trusted that they would accept us for who we are, flaws and all. They did not and now we are wounded.
To heal this wound is to find those that do accept us for who we are. Flaws and all. We just have to put them out there and the right folks will find us.
I promise this to you. I have worked on this with D17 and this past week confirms what I am saying to you here. I will share more details on my thread as it relates to d17, but she has long felt to be the outcast. Right up to our family dinner before her graduation. Now 4 days later and several miracles, her outlook has completely changed.
Yours will as well if you keep on the journey and trust that you will connect with others.
Have a wonderful night and I look to catch up with you soon.
