Where should I start?

I was the same ethnicity as the majority of my neighborhood, family, friends, etc. growing up, yet my race was always questioned because I didn't behave,speak or looked just like everyone else.

Most of my women friends, are women much older than I am--as I seem to be more of an 'old soul.' Seldom do women my age, get me.

My dh says I may intimidate others. He says there is something about me, my presence the way I talk and carry myself that some people for some reason find disarming. :shrug: I don't see it... he says I am very honest to the extent of being blunt.

So taking all I've said into consideration, yes. Definitely, I've been shunned and still experience this. I'm sloooowly learning to place myself among those that I have more in common with--and to stop taking on people that tend to see me as 'odd', unusualy or weird.

Hope this is helpful. Sorry I don't have more to offer. I'm having a tough time of this lately myself. :hi:
