oh wow that bit on friendships - I totally get that! I always feel like the outsider looking in, in any situation. At kids activities and classes, when they were at pre-school I felt it too (although in hind sight that may have been a touch of the typical "OMG your kid is the youngest in the class and can read!" kinda thing). And even with people my age - I have often, especially over the past few years, chosen to deliberately disengage from certain friendships.

It's been quite delightful to find a true friend here and there that I feel completely comfortable with or feel even out of my depth as I have spent so long dumbing down.
