Misfit

     A square peg trying to fit into a round hole either has to find a more compatible hole or change it's shape.  People either have to find a better social environment or change themselves, their attitude, perspective, behavior, or goals.
     Sometimes we try to change what we can about ourselves in order to fit in.  While being loyal to ourselves and our most important values, we can still improve, become more flexible, and compromise.  When we have done what we can and are satisfied with our adjustments, we may have to change our social environment to associate with different people.  When searching for companions and mates, both parties must fit comfortably into the relationship.  When becoming a member of a group, we want to be accepted and appreciated as we are.
     Sometimes we have to change a little; sometimes our sharp corners need to be smoothed and rounded.  Other times we must change our environment, our situation, or the people around us so we can comfortably fit in.  As we define and redefine ourselves, our shape will change somewhat.  As we place ourselves into more compatible friendships and social groups, we will not feel like a misfit.
