  even when i was a dub i felt this way.

  i mean, i would just stand there at gatherings and feel that i was in my own world -- that, somehow, everyone else was "in" and i was "out.

  " i never felt this way at formal gatherings -- meetings, assemblies, etc -- only in most social settings.

  I thought the N in the Meyers-Briggs test stood for iNtuitive? (and whatever the hell they mean by that!)

  Euphemism,

  I hate to use a loaded term, but I think that the best word for it is 'nerd.' Being a nerd doesn't mean having poor hygeine, no fashion sense, thick glasses, and a pocket protector. It's more a way of thinking. It's not something I can necessarily define, but other nerds will know what I mean.

  ROFL....yes, I am a "nerd." Here's the thing -- from the time I was in Jr. High till my senior year of HS I was not only the nerd in the mind, but the nerd in outward appearance as well. Fortunately, I changed remarkably my last year in HS (got a new wardrobe, grew about 9 inches, yadda, yadda). Now I feel fine and am confident of how I look. But, I think the few years of my early teenagehood nerdom really warped me and has given me a complex ever since.

  And lest you try to deny the charge, I want to state, for the record, that anyone who has a Greek bust for their avatar is a nerd.

  Oh my Christ...haha! Actually, it's Roman -- Constantine. I just like the look of it

  I definitely got more socially adept with time; and I definitely feel a lot closer and more connected to people now that I'm mentally free from the Borg. But I still feel most at home, most connected, with other nerds.

  Do you know any gorgeous nerdy blondes around 25 years old that I could hook up with?

  What is your major in college? If you're planning to pursue a career in academia, engineering, or another technical field, you will probably find that you fit in just fine, and feel quite normal.

  Well, I'm "officially" undecided although I am leaning toward academia.....or medicine.

  Thank you, btw,

  Minimus,

  If it was no big deal because of the time period, then you can bet the Society would broadcast how merciful they are

  No, they wouldn't. They would view it as a non-issue, which is exactly what it is (if it's true).

  Thank you all

  Robdar, Panda, Maverick, Ravyyn, exjw12.....you guys rock. Feel free to come to Chicago and we'll hang out

  Little Toe.....maybe there is a God. ((((((((((((((((God)))))))))))))))

  PhantomStranger.....actually, the "date" didn't occur....there's a story to that that is too confusing to tell. All I will say is this: I'm not depressed over it, nor is a date w/her never going to happen. It was a *weird* night is all I'll say. Yes, this did get me thinking on this subject, although I do feel this way often. Perhaps the fact that I am wise beyond my years....(lol).....coupled with the fact that I'm in a college where most everyone is at least six years younger than me has something to do with my social/mental/emotional isolation.

  I just don't want to end up like Nietzsche.

  Avishai,

  Fantstic quote by Krishnamurti. I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, in some weird, sick way I appreciate being raised a dub since it raised a certain awareness. Funny, subtle thing.

  Shamus,

  Ah, but I'm fine in formal settings like meetings, school, etc. It's the "I'm just going to hang out and watch MTV with my pals" thing I have problems with.

  I know, I'm doomed.

  Min,

  Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd like to know if Losch was ever DFd. It's interesting -- but nothing more. I don't see how it would in any way be deflamatory against the Society if he ever was DFd, though. Like I said, if anything, this one example could be used by a JW apologist to show that the JWs are not as strict as some say they are.

  I'm on your side, no, really, I am.

  Nosferatu,

  See! That's the thing. I don't "fit in" with "worldly people" either...well, except most of you apostates and my professors. I'm starting to think friends will be few and far between....and, perhaps that's OK.

  Shit, at least I'll always have Jack.
