why would anyone want to not be part of the group.
Because for many odd people, the group isn't doing anything very interesting, fun or useful. I grew out of wanting to be part of "the group" after high school. If you have to pursue it, it probably isn't for you anyway.
Also if you spend your time trying to fit in with the majority group, you will miss out on meeting other odd people like you, who will be much more fun to spend time with.
I don't want the hatred the group gives to those who are different. I'm always different to everyone I've never meet someone who is similar to me. ie shares most of the opinions and interests I do.
I wouldn't have thought that many people would share
most of their opinions and interests with other people. You might share an interest, which you pursue together, but share different opinions, which is fine. You might share a lot of the same opinions with someone but outside of discussing them with each other, you don't share the same activities. Also fine. Different people can be positives in your life in different ways and for different reasons.
I look for a partner who has similar opinions/outlook on life, that is, we are like-minded. But I'd prefer we have different activities/hobbies that we can enjoy away from each other.
How are the mainstream groups giving you hatred if you are not hanging around with them?
liberals and conservatives.
I'm pro gun, support tougher border, worry about the national debt, but pro education, abortion, and welfare.
makes it hard to get along with any group as thei bound to be strongly against one of those things and hate more for being it.
gun people tend to be hard core conservatives or tea party, can't go shooting or to a gun forum or facebook wtiht seing them bashing aspie/other nds, abortion, welfare people etc. course goes other way being near the liberals and they talk about banning buns and wanting to lock up people with any conservative opinions.
I just want to do the thing I'm there for. I joing gun groups to talk about guns. I like guns, i shoot guns, I like to talk specs and oggle over guns. seems most nts can't sperate topics. I see other gun people complain about relgious speachs are pro gun rallies, I agree with them. gatherings should be about the reason behind the gatherings. I'm looking at a glock I don't want to hear about who abortions are wrong and need to ______.
see I'ved been burned. so I know if I get a friend or person and they are anti gun evneutally they going find out I own guns ad that won't sit well with them. ends friendship with me.
I do want to have activies in common wtih my gf though. i want to be able to do things with her. but I'm one of those gf should be my best friend types. I' did everything with my male best friend. I had some activies we didn't do togher. and that would be fine with gf as long as shes accepting of it. like she don't have to play video games or if does doesn't have to play the same games, but she can't be the video games are childish and nag me over them type.
