When I'm the new person, I'm kind of looking for clues that they won't think I'm weird if they find out more about me. I don't assume the knitting group or the church is queer/poly-friendly. I don't assume the theatre class is quinquagenarian-friendly. I don't assume the welding shop workers will be comfortable knowing I have a doctorate. I don't assume that the poly discussion group is Christian-friendly. If other people's conversation about their lives hints at having experience with similar oddities, I unfold a bit and relax a bit. But if they seem to be assuming that everyone there is like-them in a way that's not-like-me, I stay cautious and distant.
