    I think the hard part is, almost no one realizes that they felt that way until they are finally on the outside.

    I remember a really interesting article I read a few years ago that indicated the best way to change someone’s viewpoint was to welcome them into your community or group without requiring a change of mind first.

    Turns out our social and emotional needs will trump our rational or logical side almost every time.

    So you’re 100% right. What people need is a caring group of family and friends who encourage each other to question themselves in an effort to learn and grow.
