For some reason people seem to care a lot about fitting in. I never got it. Actually, I think I might get why some people try to fit in. The answer dawned on me this afternoon. I was in the library with a group of friends when it hit me. I was the only one in that group that didn't belong to the greek system. every other person there was either in a fraternity or sorority. I have to admit I felt left out. I think that's why people try so hard to fit in. it's nice to be part of something. I have always considered myself some what of loner. I always like to do my own thing. I do what I want and if anyone would like to join thats fine. I have found that there are some drawbacks with that mentality. Since I'm usually off on my own it's always been hard for me to open up to people. That's a big plus of being part of something, people are always there for you. There have been times where I was breaking down, and wished I had someone to talk about it with. I guess the thing I don't get is why people go to extreme lengths to try to fit in with everyone. To me that seem like an impossible task. I mean you can't please everyone. I don't get why people would go through putting themselves through pain and embarrassment to fit in with people who probably won't like them anyway.
.. I guess the point is sure it's great to be a part of something, but not it that thing is something that hurts you.
