“Much is said about the virtues and pleasures of individuality – of being someone who stands out from the crowd and delights in their particularity. But let’s also admit to how frankly lonely and frightening it can be to find ourselves (yet again) in a peculiar minority, where the differences between us and others strike us as bewildering rather than emboldening, when for example:
— Everyone wants to gossip but we prefer generosity and forgiveness.
— Everyone is at ease but we’re melancholy and self-conscious.
— Everyone is cheerful but we can’t let go of anxiety and apprehension.”
