How do you deal with alienation? | FlorinAndrei: It's all in the deeper layers of your brain.Look at all the "popular" people you know - individuals with lots of friends, a pretty busy social life, etc. What makes them like that?

How do you deal with alienation? | chris11: I agree with the idea about going to a college that is different than most of your high school classmates are going too.
