The black sheep thing.

Not a metaphor. The actual experience of being the one whose ideas got dismissed, whose energy read wrong, whose posts got deleted, whose whole way of moving through the world just didn't fit the template everyone else seemed born knowing.

I spent years assuming that was a character flaw. Turns out 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 running in an environment built for a different one. We Have Something Different for YOU.

Lot of us over 40 carry a long history of that. The jobs that didn't work out. The rooms we got quietly edged out of. The thing we built anyway, despite all of it. 🐑

I'm genuinely curious who else in this space has that thread in their story. Not looking for a trauma dump, just a real moment of recognition.
