I am constantly shunned.

    The funny thing is, the witnesses don't even realize they are doing it. Since I've stopped going to meetings I've grown a beard and dropped over 80 pounds, I don't look a thing like I used to. Whenever I see a witness, I'm basically the one to decide whether or not a conversation is going to happen. Although, the times I have started conversations tended to be awkward because the witnesses didn't realize who they were talking to until I told them. I enjoy having the oppurtunity to hide in plain sight!

    That's funny. I guess it's sort of the same for me. With my beard and long hair, a lot of people don't recognize me.

    In Plain Sight! I love that term. I also grew out my beard and lost some weight, but everyone still knows me...LOL Most of them avoid me at the store or out in public. But I am 6'2" tall and about 300 lbs now so maybe they think I joined another cult, like the Hells Angels...LOL
