Outsider

What do I mean when I say I'm "an outsider among outsiders"? Well, to be short, a lot of things. To expand, what I mean is, even among the social outcasts (the nerds, geeks, otakus, etc) I'm still an outsider. My interests are so diverse that I'm not enough of any one fandom to be considered "in" among the elitist of each group. Doesn't matter that I've seen nearly all fifty years plus of Doctor Who. I'm still not good enough for them. Doesn't matter that I've grown up watching several anime series all my life and still look for new material whenever I can. Not good enough for them either. The paraphernalia I've got isn't good enough for anyone. Especially since it's across the board. My books, movies, and music are the same. I've got fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, the lot. In music I've got oldies, some newer groups, fast rock, hard rock, soft rock, bagpipes, instrumental, classical, soundtracks, scores, even a little bit of country. Not enough to fit into any fan group. Is it that I'm too open-minded or everyone else is too close-minded, or are there like-minded people out there I haven't been able to meet yet? I really hope it's the latter. I never though outsider groups should be closed off to new people, ideas, dreams. It never made sense to me. I never thought it would be an issue to like different things. I never thought it was a good idea to force yourself to fit into someone else's mold. I don't think denying yourself to meet someone else's standards is a good idea. I don't care what kind of outsider you are, I think you should be who you are, as long as you're not hurting anyone pursuing your passions.
