Question

As a guy, describe a personal experience of feeling different, or not “fitting in” with a larger group. Been a guy could these experiences relate to not fitting in because of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, language, religion (or irreligion), age, or any other reason. Then, in each situation identify the “in-group” from which you felt excluded, and the “out-group” that you felt you were being assigned to by others. Then briefly describe whether or not you changed something about yourself to try to fit in to that "in-group", and why.  

Answer 1

as a new kid in the country i had to face huge misery in the hands of school kids. They never accepted me for who i was and there was constant agitations around my way of dressing, eating habits and skin color. I used to feel dejected and humiliated at each phase of life and i had no idea where things were going. It was a hard phase in life and i used to talk to my self, eat in the washroom and had degraded self worth. But one day my mom came to me and explained me a lesson which i will never forget all my life. She told me that the world is full of people who would dislike us, reduce our self worth and also try to put loads of pressure on us. We have to rise above all odds, show them we are no less and take pride in our culture and identity. Only then will the people like us for who we are.
