Hi,
I agree with what aviradearah says above but add the following:
Even if we find a movement or group we feel comfortable with hashkafically and religiously, people are people, and so you’ll find variation. Don’t worry though, that’s a beautiful thing. Best to find a shul where you feel accepted and valued. Don’t expect everyone to treat you exactly the way you dream of; nobody gets that treatment, spectrum or not. Better yet, if you can find a chavrusa to connect with and learn with every day -someone who understands you- that may be the best way to find your home. The rest will follow. Just like you don’t feel part of a group, most other people too have their own identities, even if they also strongly identify with a group. Value people, just like you seek others to value you.
