One of my early memories is of going to playgroup for the first time, looking at the other children there and having no idea what to make of what I was seeing. Throughout my childhood, people and social situations were scary and incomprehensible.
Over the years I’ve put in a lot of work trying to make sense of people – as individuals, and as groups. Being a person has never come naturally to me and I mostly feel that I just don’t qualify as one. I’m currently trying to imagine a more cheering approach to this, hence the picture. I’d probably cope better with all aspects of life if I had enormous, creatury ears.
This was based on a photo of me. Something about the lighting and my head angle combined to make me look more like my mother and great grandmother than I usually do.

I can relate to this😁 I’m sure I was meant to be a tree!

I really love the title of this, since it is my situation as well. I tend to see the humans as a spammy meat layer on the planet lately, doing much more harm than good and have a lot of trouble understanding why it does what it does–best wishes to all!

Seems to be a lot of us out here — I wonder what we are, really? I’m pretty sure I was supposed to have a tail…

Outer appearance doesn’t always reflect what’s within… these says I see myself as being in a female human body this time round but that not reflecting the entirety of me… I love the way you have brought out your ‘other’ bits in this pic 🙂

I have often found myself observing others and noting human behaviour for writing purposes. It’s a bit like anthropology too, though XD

Indeed!
