Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

For over 4 thousand years, the most functional weirdos got pushed to the periphery and they sometimes used the freedom that ostracism gave them to discover self-directed cognitive/behavioral methods that profoundly changed their perspectives.

They might take a risk now and then, wander down to town and interact a bit. It sometimes resulted in a social interaction in which a well-placed individual was able to understand a bit of what the weirdo had learned. The weirdo would then experience a bit of social acceptance and some townsfolks might actually come visit the weirdo later.

Not usually though. Most often the weirdo would re-experience the initial rejection and they would go back to counting their breaths while sitting on a rock.

I have just recounted the most brief history of the study of yoga that is possible.
