Scenario

When lifelong friends realize they're both permanent outsiders

My best friend and I have both always been the weird ones in our families and we used to joke about it but now that we're in our thirties it's not funny anymore — we're watching our siblings get married and have kids and fit in and we're still on the outside of everything, including each other's real feelings about it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who bonded over shared outsider status are discovering that their coping mechanisms for exclusion are now creating distance between them.
