Socially I never was an outsider. I have never thought of the conflict element before frankly, but perhaps it was wanting to belong, and at the same time wanting to retain one's own personality.
Even more than this, however, the sick - like lepers - were often reviled because people believed that they had brought their torments upon themselves.
I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.
