Are you the odd one out in your family?

well, my immediate family all look related, tho there is a gal in town I used to get asked if I she were my sister... The problem with that is that she has the same name as my real sister! And sometimes they really mean my sister! Finally, I'm sort of the oddball in the family with my taste for science fiction and fantasy.

no i'm not the odd one in the family, i have the typical look of a dimaano (surname of my mom when she was still single). we actually have the same look with 3rd cousins having the same mug of a face . however, it is our youngest who seems to always receive this same reaction. even she would voice out how come she doesn't look like anyone in our family.

I think, I am the black sheep in my family. If not physically but certainly intrinsically. I am quirky and not like a normal Indian girl. I remember taking some bold steps that no one in the family ever took. I had to suffer the consequences but that's other matter altogether.

Yep, I'd have to say that I am definitely the odd one out. Most of my family (at least on my mom's side) have done pretty well for themselves. One of my cousins works for Fox, another is a karate expert, a couple more went into the service, and the list goes on. I on the other hand am just a mom. Not that there's anything wrong with being a mom...

I am a white woman who has a son that is Mexican/American Indian and he know lives in China and teaches English as a second language. In China they are extremely confused as to what nationality he is. He has been asked if he is part Chinese, Japanese or from India. When he was a US Army soldier in Iraq he could speak Arabic and they didn't know what nationality he was there either. When he comes home he is the only one of the family with blue black hair, really dark eyes and dark skinned. Most of our family is blond or light brown haired except for me and his uncle who are white skinned, green eyed and very dark hair. We have some adoptions in the family to that are Korean and I think we represent the real America, the melting pot. I love our family and its diverity.

Paula- It seems that I am the odd man in my own family, extended family, and married family. Recently it got to me so badly that I did my own reflections on why I felt the need to be "needed" or "accepted". For me, it was this constant struggle to gain my mother's affection and approval. For me, I was too talkative. I also studied too many things and if I shared my latest fact finding adventure was told not to be a know it all. Now that I am older and watch Arthur quite a bit with my son, I realze that I am just who I am, and that is ok. It is not my fault that relatives, family, and inlaws care to feel or think the way they do without truly knowing me. I have a great relationship with my sister-in-law. And my husband and I meet each other's needs. Our children are our life, and they are truly a gift to teach us about how to take them as they come with no changes. Namaste-Anora

its not me..but my eldest sister is most beautiful and fair too.......but we or she never treated each other as odd one out, we all sisters, love each other equally and still after being married for years, each one busy in her own family, but care the same as we did when we were unmarried and lived together.

Hi Paula! I'm the odd one out wherever I go! hahaha! I'm just a misfit! lol! I am the tall one in my family! I am 6 foot tall!

Yep, I am the odd one out in my family, always have been. Not only in looks, although that is part of it. I have brown hair and my eyes change between blue, grey, and green. My brothers and sister have dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. They are also much lighter skinned than me. But, the kicker is this. My older sister and brother are twins. Then I have a younger brother. They ALL have the same birthday. It's cool for them, but did leave me as odd man out again...lol.

i am not cause we have certain similarities that you will not miss seeing in us family.

i think i am the odd one in my family as well...i am the only one who is dark and quite big in size.I am also one of those who smoke and drink while the rest doesnt do that and i am one of the most socialiable one too.I think i am the black ship of the family as i am the first to create so many problems...that is bad but changed already...

Hi Paula, Ah, I can't laugh on this situation. I have been in a wedding ceremony. In that family, they were the groom himself, with one sister and one brother. The brother is a little black than his sister and the groom. I couldn't see that boy in any family photo. In fact he wasn't in any photo shoot. I was feeling so sad for him. I felt like crying. It has been two weeks since the marriage but I have not a good realtionship with that groom! I am glad that i am not the odd one out in my family.

I am some-what different to my family yes! I seem to be the only one who has dyed my hair blonde and gone out to get piercings or tattoo's. I like to go out and party on the town and my family don't drink or go out for meals or anything like that!

well every family has its members that are precious for each one.. members love each other..but there are some kind of reputation/status made in family of particular members..although we are happy for that person but there is some kind of hesitation in our heart dat y cant we be like dis..n dis is the mistake most people do..each person is special..so each one has its won importance in its field.. but wen we behave something odd den other members starts stopping us for doing everything we want.. n we starts feeling like we are a diffrent part of family ...

I am the black sheep in my family...I'm the only mixed race person, the only adopted one and the only one who walks to her own beat and hasnt been brainwashed...I dont hide the family secrets/skeletons (much to their dislike) and I am my own person (again much to their dislike)....

Well, I'm not sure if I was the black sheep, I think that's a bit far out, as I'm not radical in any way, but in 1956 when television was introduced in Australia, I would rather listen to records in the lounge than sit with the rest of the family in the front of the TV.

Is this the discussion you posted under wife? It's still a good one. Well yes, I am the black sheep of the family. I don't look any different from them, but my parents and sister are completely opposite of me. We don't share the same interests, we have totally different views on a lot of matters, and basically sometimes they look at me as if they don't know where I cam from. People have asked me before how did I get interested and involved in so many things when there was not a hint of interest with the rest of my family. I kind of like it though. I don't mind being different.

My goodness, she must have been offended to have been alienated from the picture taking just because she stands out different from the rest of the family. Lol...she must be a beautiful woman and her inclusion in the group photo would outshine the bride. It is such a sad incident and I take pity on her as she really did not asked to be born differently. Well, in my family I think I am the ugly duckling. First, I am on on the heavy side while the rest of my siblings are petite. Our skin tone are all alike and our physical features strongly resembles each other especially our eyes. Someone has ever commented to me that our eyes is our trademark. When you see one you see all. So there is no discrimination whatsoever that can divide us. Who cares of skin color if they come from the same bloodline. She could have inherited her looks from her fair grandparents.

My family is all odd people out. You should see my family pictures. The oldest is mixed race (she's my step daughter) We have two red heads, a blond, a couple of dark brown, and my yuck colored hair. Come to think of it we have as many different religious faiths as we do hair color. I love it... never boring around here.

me and my dad are the odd ones out. my sister, brother, and mom have like the same brain. none of them like what i like, and i don't like most what they like. my dad on the other hand likes stuff i do, and stuff i dont, but the problem with my dad is he smokes and i need to get him to stop. lol. i my sister is complete opposite of everybody though, she has a passion for disney channel, and everything on it....EVERYTHING!!!
