@Fuzzy
I’ve been in the same kind of situation. I’m 1,96 m. tall, weight about 100 kg, shave my head due to bad hair growth and have scars from falls and accidents while out in the open or practising sports, so I elicit more or less the same reaction. I’ve been battling depression bouts that might get me locked at home sleeping 15 hours a day and not eating for a week straight, and been through messed up stuff, like falling in love with someone that will try to murder me. I do know what you’re speaking of, and if my thoughts in it are worth something, there they go:

- DON’T hole up and hide behind a shell. That’s what people want you to do, to keep out so you don’t bother them. Well, know what? You have THE SAME right to your space, your life and social interaction than any of them. Go out. Try to do stuff, like learning new languages or going into courses, whatever. Let yourself be seen. Don’t give them the satisfaction of deciding who can go in their little “normalcy club” and who doesn’t.

@Fuzzy
I’m really sorry to hear that, and I don’t mean this to come off as shallow pity, but real sympathy. I’ve had a lot of friends in situations where they felt like complete outcasts, and I myself have felt this way before, having moved multiple times in my life and having to adapt to new places. If you can take anything away from this comic, I want you to know you aren’t alone. Claire has to overcome a lot of self-esteem issues- I hope her metamorphosis can inspire other people to do the same. *hugs*

Yamino, this strip hits a little too close to home. I’m a social outcast; always have been, always will be (probably). I don’t fit in anywhere with anyone. I have had people tell me I don’t belong in polite society…so I stay here, safe, behind my keyboard.

It isn’t entirely my fault that I am this way. I am 1.98m tall, and weigh about 140kg; I also have a beard. I am -basically- a better-groomed version of Hagrid. But I’ve seen people cross the street when they see me coming; mothers pulling their children close out of fear of “the big scary-looking man.” I had kind of a messed-up childhood. Dad died and we buried him 3 days before my 1oth birthday. I am in recovery from alcoholism (14 years sober!), I also have severe ADHD that wasn’t diagnosed until I was 35.

I don’t want anyone’s pity, I just want to be understood! I want to be around people, but I’ve been hurt so badly so many times, I’ve become comfortable living in my shell.

Sorry for going on for so long, but I just wanted to say that to someone, somewhere. I don’t know if anyone will read this, but I *needed* to say it!

Thank you, Yamino; you’ve helped me more than you will ever know.

Not sure if this was done on purpose, but I’m seeing an ad next to the comic (left side, Project Wonderful) that’s apparently selling some book about renouncing Christianity. Now, the book doesn’t bother me, I’ve never been one to get all up in arms about religious debates, but doesn’t it seem a little ironic to have an ad like that on a webcomic about nuns?

Aw why is Claire so nervous? I thought she was drunk from all that Holy Spirit she drank.
