Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Like you weren't part of a group or a community and stuck out like a sore thumb. In this episode of The Dublin Story Slam we're sharing three stories inspired by that feeling of being an outsider. From joing a dance studio with zero experience to joining a football club with no interest in football to joining a collective when you felt like nobody liked you.
