Reading And Experiencing...
God, I really don't fit in, do I?

fit into what, or whom?
if 'fitting in' always that great?

It's isolating. It's horrible.
True, I just want to feel like I belong somewhere. Alas, I don't feel that.
merf.
dunno what the answer is.
to some extent my approach to life is - while i don't intentionally go out of my way to piss people off (or at least only when it's really called for) - i don't try that hard to fit in with whatever this week's flavour of the month is.
gradually, i've acquired people who fit in with me and vice versa...
maybe that's a cat thing.

I am just me - that's the issue. If I was trying to be someone else then I could live with it. But I am just being me and thus I feel rejected. Some friends do accept me for who I am, perhaps the problem is that I don't accept myself.
You fit in fine with the rest of us irredeemable furfags. :P

OMG - you're a furfag??
Eek!

Empathy is hard to find. Perhaps I am being to harsh on myself. I dunno, I just don't feel particularly comfortable. Perhaps I am looking into things too deeply.
Yeah, you do. You just don't feel like you do. Rusty raises a valid point, look at the people that at least call you an acquaintance; there must be some commonality between you or they'd not bother, you therefore fit in with your peer group.
With that said...
It's easy to feel unhappy with your lot. You've had some setbacks recently and are feeling like you're trapped in a rut. I'd put it to you that you don't belong there. It's the dissatisfaction with the down side that is colouring your outlook generally.
But hey, what do I know? I'm just a fox :)

Maybe you're trying too hard to fit in? Or thinking about it too much?
yes you do fit in you're one of us silly critters,hun.
If this is about the lack of visible empathy, I'd wager a guess it might be because most of the empathetic people are also shy. I can only speak for myself, but I'm often too shy to post, especially if the message is only something to the tune of "I empathize".
I think its more you feeling you dont fit in than not actually fitting in...you need to learn to fight your own demons.
You wont fit it with the normal folk as perhaps you and most of us furries arent normal, but be happy to be wierd,screwball,furry, whatever you like. Most of all, be happy with who/what you are, this is the most important part. I am happy and I fully accept who/what I am, if the rest of the world thinks that I am odd, well screw them I dont care.
In fact you do fit in, you will have good furiends that accept you for who/what you are.
Just how I feel at the moment. It's particularly strong.
So are you gonna rape the fox?
Thanks hun - you're a mentally fantastic possum *hugs*
Lols thanks hun. I know my current circumstances are magnifying this but I have been here before and the next stage is the scary one. I am still trying to social things so as to have something to look forward to.
It's probably the latter - I hate being so analytical - I can find fault in anything. It's probably why I find happiness quite hard to find.
I hope so, it's just I rarely have anything to say to people. We spend most of our time talking about things I know nothing about in the Fandom - I don't think I've ever had an actual conversation about animals for example.
