I am in a good spot in life. A job that is satisfactory in pay and work that I do, supportive parents, friends are decent, etc

However, I feel like I am alone with the way that I think an approach things. No partner who embraces the way that I am. No friends who align with my nuanced views about everything. No extended family members who had a similar enough upbringing where I can connect deeply with. Everyone feels surface level good but deeper level disconnected around me.

Realistically it seems like even your life partner can be very different from who you are but the thing that bothers me the most is the passion to express myself freely and embrace my own self fully when doing so pushes me an inch away from people. This natural and gradual divergence eventually leads to feeling isolated even if people are physically present around me. This ringing concept of misalignment in most areas with those around me makes it difficult to connect with everyone in a way that feels like I’m safe and valid for the way that I am. Even if people disagree with me on certain ways I know another group of people would validate my ways however the complex combination of everything in me is difficult for someone to truly connect with me.

With that being said how do you guys cope and embrace your uniqueness even if people might not celebrate your differences when you’re aligned with them in only 20-50% of things at best with any given person
