4/4- I want to know if It's common for black professionals to feel this way or if I'm thinking about it too much, I also don't want to discount the worry that I'm just a weirdo looking too far into this stuff

3/?- It just feels like I'm not wanted, and that's fine, I just wonder if I'm overreacting, or making it a race thing, but being one of two men of color in a predominantly female field and program, I feel like wallpaper, on display, easily visible and paid little attention to.

I'm just bothered that I often just feel so out of place when I try to contribute in many different areas, or being the guy that has conversation come to a screeching halt when I arrive, on work issues or topics otherwise, when I'm doing my best to contribute. 2/?

"How goes it, human?"
