How do you not fit in?

I'd love to hear your stories, so tell us about your experiences with not fitting in. What parts of your personality or life don't fit in? In what ways are you different or considered weird or an outsider?
Tell us all your stories about times when you just didn't fit in.

Just general anti-social leanings, I really like people but mainly in small groups, as soon as there's more than 4 or so people I don't know, I just give up on em. I don't like or care about large groups generally, so I tend to limit myself by hanging out with the same core people but otherwise enjoy isolation
bugged me in high-school somewhat but mostly I just embrace it now

I'm pretty damn intimidating to many people IRL. Loud, fast riding biker type, not afraid to speak my mind with absolute passion, covered in scars and tattoos and earrings and generally look like a thug all round. And an unashamed drug user, which is enough in itself to shock people. But here my inner self is free to roam, the tender, compassionate, loving person that lies beneath a rough exterior. Most people IRL wouldn't even give me a chance to express that.
Plus, I refuse to indulge people in small, judgemental, or gossiping talk. Which kinda eliminates 95% of the people I meet.
Basically, I don't fit in with people that get shocked easily. Which is most people IME.

You know, it's a shame but that's certainly true. I tend to like you/your posts around here, yet your appearance alone means in real life I would never interact with you, too true. Kind of lame

I know, it's a shame. We all judge based on looks to some extent - some try hard not to IMO, but it is built into all of us.
My best friend I met at my last job is the kinda guy I would never have interacted with IRL if I didn't work with him; very stereotypically black (clothes, swagger, accent, words, drug use, etc). Yet after becoming very close over the past 10 years, I see that his mind, underneath all that, is the most similar to my own of anyone I've ever met. We just 'get' each other perfectly.
Such is life.

Every time I see someone glued to their cell phone (which is constantly these days) I want to slap them until their eyeball falls out.

I'm a little bit of a history nerd, I'd love to have someone I could catch a buzz with and run my mouth about what catastrophe brought on the end of the bronze age, or the mongols epic, bloody rampage across the Asian continent. But my friends are stuck on stupid shit like the next dime a dozen superhero movie, or pointless pothead conspiracy shit.
The few times I thought I could have a good conversation with someone about history, they seem to have no interest. This in turn makes me think they're missing out on the big picture. There's nothing more interesting to me than the sick shit people used to (and still do) to each other and how we got to this point.
So I guess in that way I don't fit in.

I don't have any interest in spectator sports. I don't like most popular music. I don't watch television, I believe it's a subtle form of social programming overloaded with useless information. I disagree with both sides of the American bipartisan system.
One major thing that sets me apart is that I've had quite a lot of encounters with ghosts/spirits/entities (sober and under influence). I used to share my experiences, especially if they occurred while I was with someone else; but now I keep quiet because people take me for crazy or an attention seeker. I deeply wish it was a more common trait among others because I really have no one to relate with on this.

I'm not as easily angered or stressed about things most people are. I'm also the guy that typically misunderstands directions, when everyone else seemingly does fine.
I don't fuck with soda at all, same with steak. Don't enjoy most pop and modern rap/hip-hop. I call everyone bud or buddy, even if I don't know them.

This is about times when you didn't fit in, not times you did!

You can't just go around slamming your cock in assholes! If you could it would be fitting properly. This is why we lube.

Xlcaps goes against the grain by being irrelevant and crass.

 Perfect. /thread
Edit; this thread is now also about times you didn't fit into vaginas and/or butts. Go.

I don't fit in bc I don't try to really. I'm a very likeable strange person I guess.....???
I talk about things no one else does really. I'm into things no one else is. I'm open about 'crazy' things like talking to trees and ghost dreams. I blank out when everyone talks about some popular whatever going on bc I'm disinterested most of the time. I don't go hang out with people. I have weird mannerisms and move about weird.
Most of the time people like whatever it is that I do and often say that I'm very strange but in a good way. I just don't really fit into anywhere and no one is about to invite me to hang out with them.
I dunno. Haha

Umm I've never fit in with anyone because i dont talk. i say very few words throughout my days. There were days in high school where id go all day without saying a single word to anyone. Not that i hated everyone or anything. Im just so introverted beyond belief.
I dont really relate to many people. My belief system is different from the people around me. I dont like small talk, i cant even pretend like im interested which probably makes me look like an ass sometimes.
I dont know, I've been a social outcast all of my life, no one has ever understood me but my ex, who i will never see again. 
Where am i now? Probably even worse than my highschool days. I have no social life whatsoever. I really want to change that, but itll be an extremely daunting task for me to tackle. 
I have an endless list of scenerios where i didnt fit in that i could post.

Ah I used to do that as well. Stay quiet. I would actually go mute for weeks at a time sometimes. I just hate talking sometimes. And don't like to talk if I have nothing to say. Plus I was raised with broken English so I had to work alot with verbal communication. I still write better than I speak. I get a lisp and had a speech impediment too, sometimes I stutter.
