I didn't mean to sound judgemental. Of course you were at Disneyland too and there may have been others there feeling like you. I can remember feeling like that. I shouldn't worry too much about it. They are not people you know and all you saw was a symbol of superficiality. I hope there are people you love and who love you - your parents, perhaps.

I don't think we have the problem to such an extreme here in England. I know lots of men who don't like sports. You're an intellectual that's all. There must be other like-minded people that you can hang out with who would make you feel less alienated. Try your local adult education centre. I had no like-minded friends till I was at University. Go to a college and study whatever you really want to study. I get contemptuous at the existential fearfulness of most people. The way they are shocked by others suffering and unable to cope with it. Like in Kafka's Metamorphosis. Yet I know much of my contempt derives from my sense of their betrayal. Perhaps you feel that they have abandoned you or neglected your needs. Withdraw any projections and look after yourself,

Tiggy.
