We all have the desire to be part of a community. This search for connection is universal, and exists even among people who think of themselves as loners. To become part of this sense of community, we have to be proactive and put ourselves out there. We have to be open to being different from people, and equally to being the same as others. We have to expect that others have ideas at least as useful and valid as our own. Get out there and explore, and you will find the right community.
