Sad: Being different can be a cause for celebration. But if a person feels that they are so different that they don't belong, that they can't connect with others - that can lead to despair & feeling very alone. Some people feel ashamed of the ways that they perceive they are different. Some of the most wonderful people I have ever met have experienced suicidal thoughts at some point in life.
