The biggest struggle comes from being lonely in a crowd for my DS. He is an extreme extrovert but struggles to find commonality with the other kids around him who have no interest whatsoever in anything he has pursued in-depth. He knows that he is different, and knows that he can connect with the popular kids with sports, so he gravitates towards more sports than he actually wants to do, just to be around some friends. And he spends a lot of his life "blending in" and not "standing out".
