But Rudenski
Sometimes we have to be lonely. Not always enjoyable but it can't all be a day at the beach...sometimes it's necessary. You can't really cherry pick, and you can't really discard. You take the rough with the smooth. I always saw trying to fit in and trying to be accepted as an addiction of the ego, and we're all guilty of it.

As for true selves - if my 'true self' called the shots in my life, I would be far more involved in the 'we', in my community, my family, the collective. I would be able to love unconditionally and serve others selflessly without a thought. It's ego that holds me back - fear, pride, envy, anger, desire. If I was being more my true self I would be far less identified with my 'persona', myself as an individual... I definately wouldn't be rejecting my role in the collective narrative of the bigger picture.

But that's just me.
