[polls] Alienness

Ok, fine, I finally get around to posting a poll. :)

[Poll #577769]

[edit: incidentally, not only did I feel like an alien most of my life, and still sometimes now, I apparently have at least one person who categorizes me in my very own space alien category]

Oddly...

It's not my various subculturalness which makes me feel alien. Different? Sure. Most of my alienness was from when people's behavior made _NO_ sense to me.

Now, of course, I'm curious as to everyone's definition of 'alien'. :)

The bit about you as a kid sounds like a mild version of why I was convinced I was an alien. :)

I think the parts of my subculturalness that I identify with are the ones that make me feel "alien" -- at least in the sense of "while I intellectually understand why you do that, it still *makes no sense,* m'kay?" I actually don't really feel non-human, but did feel like I was a different *kind* of person in lots of ways -- perhaps because I read fantasy and not scifi :)
