I don't fit in here, either. I don't think I've caused anyone any offense here, or if I have, I didn't pick up on it. Mostly, I just haven't made any impression on anyone. I'm used to being overlooked,though. Most people I encounter both IRL and on the 'net, don't seem to acknowledge my existence. I seem to sink below nearly everyone's radar. It's probably better that way, as more often than not,the people who do notice I'm alive view me as a useless incompetent idiot who doesn't belong, to be disparaged at every turn. Maybe I'm better off not being seen. Lucky for me, that seems to be what usually happens.
People talk of round pegs, and square pegs trying unsuccessfully to fit into those pesky round holes. If those square pegs are fortunate enough to find some square holes (aka their niche) they'll fit in just fine. Based on long experience, I've determined that I'm an amorphous peg, and no hole in the universe fits me. It does get lonely at times, far more so when I'm actually among people than when I'm alone. I can't really offer any constructive advice, but I can relate.
By the way, Horus, I can relate to a great deal of what you say as well. I don't have any of these talents, either. I do have good memory for certain things, though generally not anything that helps me in real life. I might remember a remarkable number of details from a book or TV show I am/have been obsessed with, but that doesn't do much good when I can't figure out how to get to a place I've traveled to four times before,or remember where I put my cell phone down two minutes ago.
It's painful to feel that you don't fit anywhere at all. I wouldn't wish it on anyone else, and I'm sorry to know that you guys are dealing with that, too.
