Examples

“When i was a kid, i used to stand⟳ by myself at the bus stop⟳ instead of with the other kids (mainly because i'm an introvert, and introverts are usually targets for the malice of other kids). I was amazed one day when someone told me that all the kids thought i was stuck up because i didn't interact with them. I was feeling sort⟳ of left out and outcastish, and then i find⟳ out they think⟳ i'm leaving *them* out or something. I suppose⟳ there's no way to really communicate that saying "i'm different than 99% of people in fundamental ways" is not the same as saying "i'm special and better than 99% of people", so i won't try⟳. But you might be able to convince⟳ yourself of that.”
