Discussion Do you ever feel like you don't belong in the world?

[MissWannaLive]

And I'm not speaking about the feeling of being excluded from society. No. I'm talking about the feeling that even if you are in the nature with no humans in sight you still feel like you don't belong. As if the very earth itself was telling you that you don't belong in this time, in this place. That maybe if the time was different you would fit but the earth knows you shouldn't be here and doesn't even try to welcome you.

as someone who overthinks every decision very much do. nature is amazing its just that i'm dumb to understand it. I'd rather decay underground and have a tree grow on top of me rather than figure out how to climb one. pretty sure my iq is subpar compared with my peers and even when shit's oblivious i dont see until some bozo comes and points it out.

 

[FuneralCry]

I always feel like that, I was just never meant for something as cruel and torturous as existence that just causes all this harm and suffering until non-existence takes away all anyway. For me non-existence really is all that's positive and desirable and is just all I hope for, I wish for no more suffering and I suffer just from being burdened with this existence, I truly never should had suffered in this existence at all, I'm only meant to sleep permanently.

 

[Griever]

I don't belong anywhere

 

[Lostandlooking]

I feel like this, though I think I would feel like this regardless of timeperiod. It's often very cold outside and if it isn't I have to deal with allergies. I do not feel welcomed by the earth, but nature is silent, which I like. People and society is what makes me feel like I don't belong the most. I'm too sensitive, I feel different about things, I'm affected by things differently it seems. I don't really understand other people and they don't seem to understand me. There is some fundamental mismatch going on. I feel like an alien.

 

[Dejected 55]

I don't belong. There have also been enough people telling me (through actions if not words) that I don't belong.

 

[PrismHon]

"Wherever you go, there you are"

 

[QueenOfSpades]

You describe quite exactly what I feel. I can't connect with people, always feel different, I love animals and nature gives me peace, but no belonging. I know my story here is told and all that's left to do is gather the courage to k*** myself.

 

[geno88]

I feel the same way, I see every day that I am not part of this world, it is as if I were an extra piece in a puzzle.

I no longer consider myself a living being because I am no different from the moldy movements of my house

 

[Rynalia]

Yeah, absolutely.

I'm more or less a puzzle piece that not only doesn't belong to the same puzzle, but was also fucked up in production; I wouldn't fit in any puzzle at all.

 

[kotonearisato]

You know, I've never really been able to put this into words, but yes. All the time I feel like that. I joke all the time I was born in the wrong universe to people, but I really do feel like that.

 

[dust-in-the-wind]

I don't belong here because I don't see it for the gift most normal.brained people do. I focus on the horrors and atrocities.

 

[Hollowman]

Every day. I'm really glad we're not immortal.

 

[LetMeOut67]

No I absolutely feel that I belong here it's just we live in a dog eat dog world where people will gaslight you that you don't deserve anything not even to belong anywhere.

 

[It'sMyLife]

I certainly don't expect the earth to welcome me but I don't have any expectations at this point anyway but , yeah I feel this way every day when I wake up for the most part. Like your screen name- clever. Maybe the earth doesn't welcome but I can - welcome to SS as I see you're new

No but excluded from society hell yes.

 

[LostLily]

I had a lonely childhood. All of my parents' attention went to my special needs brother. Lost my first friend in grade 2, but lost her because her racist grandma forbid her from seeing me.

I didn't have friends till grade 6, and we all went to different high schools.

Even when I hang out with friends, I always feel a sense of that they don't really like me that they would be better off without me.
I feel overwhelm with work and have lost jobs because I'm so easily overwhelm to the point that I freeze.

 

[Alexandra0]

I've always felt this. I definitely don't belong here. Others live happily, but for me life brings only suffering.

 

[BlackRoseBaran]

I feel this way all the time. Being a trans woman in a very transphobic country taught me how little the value of a human life is. Empty buildings that once belonged to a different ethnic group that we once lived together with, that my people brutally murdered, showed me that humans are just savage beasts with fancy thumbs. I don't belong in it, never once did, not in the pretend society bro in its equally cruel open nature. Life is just a competition for resources in the race to reproduce offspring, even if you put it in a fancy dress, that is always what it will be. I've always hated competing. That makes me the loser in the eyes of any God or evolution. The world wants nothing to do with losers

 

[Tumblewillow]

Yes I do. Everyone else is woven lovingly into the fabric of life and I'm just a loose thread to be cut off.

I think this is because of my experiences though, I can't function normally no matter how hard I've tried.

 

[ilvgore]

yeah. i feel so disconnected from every human being. i always say: someday i'm gonna move into the woods!!
or that i'm from another planet and secretly an alien..

Thank you for the welcoming and the nice words<33
I can relate to not having much expectations to the world at this point. I hope peace will find both of us one day in some way.

 

[RadiantNumber]

Yes, the world around me feels alien, so I try to esacpe, if this fails this means only death could give me peace

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

All the time, since my earliest memories. Something's not right, I don't fit, like I'm made out of the wrong stuff for this universe.

 

[prone2fury]

Yeah, I could tell since the moment I was c-sectioned that I'm not meant for this earth. Always confused and obeying authority because I can't compute thoughts or work independently. Then I crash when left to my own devices. How could I have ever been stable?
