Hi Chris.
- Comment on Anyone feeling like doesn't belong anywhere? 2 weeks ago:
This is interesting because I always feel like I adapt when I move and become a version of myself that does fit in.
I grew up a city boy.
Moved to the country and began wearing outdoor gear and rock climbing until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.
Moved to a hippy town and started smoking weed in tie dye until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.
Moved to NYC and started wearing a hat and an overcoat until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.
And now I’m on the border of Mexico and don’t look anything like my neighbors, but apparently I’ve picked up enough Spanglish that people have still started asking me what region of Mexico my family is from (none).
I’ve retained little elements from each phase of my life and carried them over into the next, but every level also stands out as a distinct hybridized version of myself that I became for a time. In turn, it helped me discover new parts of myself that I would not have found if I hadn’t changed how I was living to fit my environment.
So, if you feel like you don’t fit in, maybe try to adapt to your surroundings so it is a little easier for people to meet you in the middle culturally.

Honestly, I have a weird feeling that this might be genuine. No need to sleep with the dude if OP doesn’t feel it, but it could be a cool opportunity to be a mentor and a friend to a younger queer dude if they get along.
Either way, meet in public and inform a friend.

My girlfriend has EDS. It is such a strange disease.
On the one hand, it gives you smooth stretchy skin that is resistant to wrinkles, long features that can be very beautiful, and enhanced flexibility that can be fun in the bedroom.
On the other hand, just laying down can cause her legs to fall out of socket, her back can make noises that sound like stepping on peanuts, and her fingers can get stuck in a Vulcan salute.
Handicapped parking is dope though.

For what it’s worth, I interpreted your original comment as a joke, but then the doubling and tripling down made me think you were serious. Sometimes you should just let the original lol stand alone.

There are a lot of ways to look at this ranging from the more dismissive options that other users have proposed to more philosophical, sociological, and psychological ones. I’m going to focus on the latter.
Carl Jung had a theory of synchronicity where repeat coincidences with no obvious connection to each other seemed to be a common experience in human lives. Nobody really knows why this is the case—maybe it’s some sort of data saving aspect of the universe, predestined fate, or just a pattern recognition quirk in our brains. Regardless, he collected a lot of data over his career of many people, including himself, experiencing the effect in various ways.
A potential sociological explanation would be found in the personalities of people who choose to wear track suits and gold—that outfit is typically associated with “alpha” personality types, athletes, and hooligans. I would imagine that someone in those personality categories would have the necessary qualities to make the somewhat brazen choice to interact with a stranger and take control of a situation, and in the case of the athlete, potentially be more likely to recognize a health problem. 10 people around you might have noticed something was off with you, but the person with the more dominant personality in the room might be more likely to take action first.
There is also the woo woo explanation that some kind of destiny awaits you and those people were there at that time to save you specifically. If you were a time traveler aiming for a time between 1960 and 2060, a track suit would be a comfortable choice of clothing that wasn’t trying to fit into any particular fad, and it would be hard to track that person down later because a lot of people wear that.
The interpretation is up to you to decide, but it sure is an interesting thing to think about. Unlike some other users, I don’t immediately think you’re crazy, I just think you just noticed a very unusual set of circumstances that have multiple possible explanations.
