[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 604550, member: 1721"] Volunteering is a great way to open new facets of our lives. Those attracted to the volunteer areas your daughter is attracted to will have something in common, already. Following her curiosity and taking classes will bring her into contact with other people with similar interests, too. Martial arts? Ballet? Ceramics? Country line dancing? Whatever she is curious about. If she writes, she could join a local writer's group. Most writers are introverts, too. For so much of my life, I felt lonelier in a crowd than when I [U]was[/U] alone. It wasn't until I went back to school (small, private, egghead city I swear) that I found people [U]like me[/U]. There is a video by a group called Blind Melon. I can't think of the name of the video right now, but the second I saw it, I identified with it completely. It's about this chubby little red-headed girl in a bee costume. Her antennae are always waving around crazily. Everywhere she goes, she is an outsider. And there's no way she can hide it either, with those stupid antennae waving around everywhere. Then, one day, she opens a door onto a room full of...people in bee costumes! That was me, when I went to the egghead place. :O) That's how it is, sometimes. Until we find our niche, we don't find our people. It's painful though, to watch our children suffer. Cedar [/QUOTE]
