    Figured out a major source of my social anxiety is due to not really having a place in society.
This line gave me a long pause. I wondered,

What does this mean?

Who determines whether we have a place or not?

How do we make a place for ourselves?

How long does it take?

How do immigrants and refugees feel?

How much 'othering' is going on by people who feel more entitled?

Is it an internal belief system that determines our place in society or external forces who are excluding us?

I could probably write a dozen more questions.
