Excellent, per usual. The thought/question in the back of my head while reading was, "And what if in leaving the echo chamber I may be in I leave far enough from home base that I no longer belong anywhere?" <-- My heart wrenching difficulty. Echo chambers aren't good, but it feels weird to perceive that you no longer belong where you'd been and aren't welcome with those you're now interacting with. A man of no country.
BUT What I am learning from relationships with those different than you - There is far more richness and texture and helpful ideas and language beyond my circle/echo chamber. It's been enriching to move beyond those starting points.
