Have you ever found familiarity in a person with a vastly different background?

lmao...

my best friend's parents were in prison when we met for the first time in the first grade of primary school. We clicked from the first moment... he is the only person who has seen the best and worst of me during this years

my parents are lawyers... I'm not sure if there could be more different backgrounds :D

[laly520]

I like this a lot 🌸

I had a friend growing up that was a real hippie. He was into all that peace and love crap. He used a lot of drugs and had long hair. I was going to college on an Air Force scholarship. I wanted to be a pilot. Still we were really good friends and are still friends today

Thanks for the MHO😎

[RebelinSteel]

Yes quite a few times. I was out in Finland and met someone there where it was like we had known each other for years and not hours.

[laly520]

thats pretty relatable
happened to me few times when I travelled

[RebelinSteel]

I think it’s true the world over we bump into people, say in a bar back end of beyond and there is a person the same as someone you know back home or you just hit it off with them

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I think so.

I am a spoiled daddy's boy, and one of the people closest to me immigrated from a war-torn country and lived on the streets.

[NathanDavis]

yes... all over the world, over the internet, of course

[laly520]

was it only over the internet?

[NathanDavis]

mostly, yes... and with a much marked contrast too

in person, there's been different backgrounds, yes... but not vastly different

[LiamJHayden]

Lots, but I'm a musician and that can be common for us.

[laly520]

what kind of music do u make?

[Iron_Man]

Yes… by the way, congratulations on being mentioned on the shout out in the form

[laly520]

thanks a lot 🌸

[Iron_Man]

You’re very welcome

[Juxtapose]

Yes, all the time. I have never met someone with the same background as me and I never will.

[laly520]

why do u think that u will never meet such a person? (if its ok to ask)

[Juxtapose]

Oh it's always okay to ask, if I didn't like it I could simply refuse to answer.

I will never meet such a person because I am too much of an outlier. I moved to several states, southern and northern. I have seen the rich & the poor and I have deeply examined all kinds of political and otherwise philosophical questions.

I am autistic, have A D. D and dyslexia. I am bisexual. I am a liberal but a classical one. I have lived with a rape victim who has schizophrenia among many other problems but she was still such a wonderful and beautiful person inside and out.

I have had so many different experiences that are different from other people and my perspective on life is just so different from other people, they will never relate to me. I will never feel like I am with "my people" because people like me don't exist. Since birth I have been the alien and the outsider and it will always be that way.

This post is not to garner pity, but to illustrate how I feel about how unrelatable I am to other people.

[laly520]

understandable
thanks for sharing🌸

[Juxtapose]

Certainly 👍

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Can I consider you?

[laly520]

sure thing🌸

[KrakenAttackin]

Familiarity? I'm not sure sure, but absolutely I have found fascination and attraction to someone who has a vastly different background.

[IWILLPLEASEYOU]

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE KNOW THEM, ALSO I WANT TO GET TO KNOW IF THEY ARE WANTING TO TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THEM AND I HAVE FIND THEM INTERESTING.

[VV3ZZY123]

Yea sometimes our social circumstances are similar or we have similar personalities or something

[jahaims]

Yeah with all of my friends

[Account]

Yes, of course.

[laly520]

was it rather common thing to happen?

[Account]

It is not very common, but we happen to interact with so many people online. At some point you will stumble upon a person with whom you share similar views and/or hobbies/activities even if they are brought up in a different way and even if they belong in a different culture.

[Nice222]
