The Alien Rant

I swear sometimes I feel like the girls here secretly go to an 'Inlaws Training Camp' before they get married.

It's a given that the local girls are completely different in frequency than me, but they have this capability to interact with every member of the family and general public in ways I can never depict.
And I always end up thinking ends on how they do that.

Is there some sort of 'cheat sheet' available that I've missed out on?

Granted I've found it very difficult to 'mesh' into the Karachi society, and mainly I had no weapons that I've unveiled, but I've never, in my history of living, known any different strategy of being than my own.

I am just my quiet, logical own self.

I don't know how to talk people into doing something, I don't know how to make people believe me blindly, I don't know how to butter people into loving me. You either like me for my own self, or you don't. I just cannot, under any circumstances, pretend to be what you want me to be. Because I just am not.

I've lived in different countries over my life span. I have interacted with people from cultures other than mine. But never in my life have I felt so different and incompatible with than the people that live in Karachi.

There has to be more people like me surviving here.

There just has to be.
