didn't start feeling like an alien until I began to understand how different other people's experiences were, hence I checked "puberty".
*nod* This is, from what I understand, the most common time for that feeling to happen.
I also checked "other" because I feel like an alien at certain times, surrounded by certain people, but it doesn't match any of the options you give.
That's because I started running out of easily worded options. :)
I've gone to a fair bit of effort to surround myself by people who think more like me, or who simply take that kind of variety for granted.
Yep, me, too. Makes my life richer and better, all around. Does mean it'll be interesting when I finally get around to changing coasts, however!
The hardest situations to cope with is when other people have not yet come to understand how different things can be for other people than them, and have a sort of collective delusion that they at least are all looking at stuff the same way. Because usually they aren't.
Yep.
I find that this is a very common mainstream society mindset. Bugs me greatly.
