ASR: B4: The Struggle To Belong.
I assumed by mere association, by my physiology and my environment that I am no different from anyone else. That my differences are trials and struggles I can outgrow with time. That the ever gaping distance between me and those I love are only my imagination. I had hope that with experiences I can “grow out” of those gaps.
I have had suspicion and theories of what is “wrong” with me but prayed that I am mistaken. That those suspicion and theories resulted from bizarre experiences are part of my imagination and nothing more.

Behavioral Science is a new and broad field. It helps us make sense of some of the things we could not before. But the true extend of the human brain and its capabilities is still a mystery to all of us. Even those who consider themselves an “expert” in the field, cannot map all the undefined mysteries and challenges of why some of us are the way we are. Why we think the way we think or act the way we act.
Each person is undefined until the trial of life is revealed to them. In some situation many of us are generally predictable, because of the commonality of being of the same species. We need those common attribute familiarity to live among each other. To open channel of communications to build relationships and interactions. It is necessary for us to have those common factors so we can learn from each other to prospers, survive, and advance.
However, though most of us are predictable, there is still so many out there that are not. Even in the groups of those generally predictable people; we have those who become rare and different depending on the situation they find themselves in. In a world based on beliefs. Everyone has a theory about life, everyone has a theory about how we come about to be. No one person’s theory is proven the exact answer. One person’s theory, in one sector of time is only true until someone else come along and found “evident” to disprove that theory and another arises.
Hence, humanity is still as undefined as the birth of the existence of our consciousness. For this reason, life is a science that is still under investigation. Thus, the conclusions born from experiences are hard to disprove or prove. Because life is customized to everyone. Because life is still undefined — Thus, so is its challenges.
