[quote=Anonymous]I kind of have a sense of what you’re saying. When that has happened to me, it’s a sign that I’m just not a fit for a specific local culture, a team at work, or a neighborhood. Places where I can pinpoint that happening have been among the wives at a past job of DH’s job that required a lot of socializing, a volunteer commitment, a neighborhood swim club, and a job at a startup. It felt like nothing I said was the right thing or my questions were met with a response to a totally different question, and little ways of joking around or making comments didn’t match from my side or theirs. In all cases I should have fit in with others based on socioeconomic factors, educational background, etc. but I just didn’t. And in all cases I didn’t recognize how poor the fit was until I moved on to a different version of the same place/job/social group. [/quote]
