The rituals make no sense to me at all. Everyday rituals are also weird, bearable. But to take time off, and then do, this. It exaggerates the feeling of non-belonging.

A lot of people aren't into this. A lot. They just stay quiet because they've been told they're wrong to not be into it. You're not alone here. Just do what makes you happy and wait it out. That's what I'm doing

People to me are mostly alien. I have no idea why they do most of what they do.

There are many who don't belong. I guess you can nominally belong to that group like I do?

They walk onto a wall 2 times. I say: there's the wall. Watch out.

They rather watch a tv novella where someone else walks into the same wall. They conclude: it's a normal thing to do.

They walk onto a wall a 3rd time.

Whats that about?

Maybe it makes them feel better about themselves?
