Discussion Do you feel like you are not a part of society?

[Suidice]

Do you feel like you are not a part of society?
I look at other people differently from me and i feel like i don't fit in society.

 

[Dark Mood]

I never was. My family broke up with me when I was 16, and since then I feel like a stranger in this world

 

[DeadInsideUnicorn]

Definitely. I feel like I don't belong anywhere.

 

[Vlad Tepes]

Im not sure that Im even human.

 

[Ligottian]

Yes. In this world but not of it I think is the saying.

 

[Macedonian1987]

Ever since my earliest childhood memories, I've felt not only like I don't belong in society, but I also felt and still feel like I don't belong in this world

I feel like an alien in my own planet and with my own species. If this makes any sense.

 

[Dark Moon]

Yeah, I don't feel like I'm a part of the system.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

I am not part of society at all. I am definitely more of an outcast. Always have been.

 

[SaintJosifStalin]

Of course I do. Mental health apartheid has excluded me from the workforce. How am I supposed to develop a meaningful career when I am at risk of being committed on anyone else's whim? Simply because I do not follow social conventions? Our crooked politicians like having us collect social security. Work gives meaning to life. They follow Malthusianism as policy, which is intentional population reduction. They create a society which excludes intentionally because no sense of community with other humans undermines the will to live.
"The immoral act is one where if half of the people did it, everyone would starve."

 

[Gonk]

I refuse to be truly a part of it... Because it churns my stomach. Only in isolated moments, in groups where I personally know all people. Which were long ago, not a case anymore.

 

[finasteride_end]

I am in constant physical pain. I cannot relate to those who are not

 

[Dejected 55]

I'm not part of society, and not sure I really want to be. So much of society is just superficial and transactional. I want no part in any of that. I need deeper meaning than that. Nobody else seems to want anything real. People just want to hop from one thing to the next, getting whatever they can get from it and moving on without any intent for any deeper exploration or connection to anyone. That's not a society I long to be part of...

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

Yes I have different beliefs from every other human

Some things I believe no one else does
1 .Pain is a billion times worse than one can imagine or remember
2 . I every human is just an animal, cells, a machine, chemical reactions
3.nothing matters except me avoiding unending and unbearable pain and then any unbearable pain
4. Extremely horrible things can happen to me or any other human any day
5 . Life is very bad the worst thing in the universe

a book more things and to explain the above more fully with rationale and evidence

 

[Marbas]

Yeah. I've always been isolated and on my own, despite my efforts of trying. I feel like my entire existence has really just been to be life's piñata until i successfully CTB to escape it.

Those sound like common and ordinary materialist beliefs in our century

If a lot of people believed pain is a billion times worse than one can imagine or remember you'd see a lot of people saying that or being terrified every second of life and living

I haven't seen anyone say or post this except me

"pain is a billion times worse than one can imagine or remember"

and it's not just a belief , not even just a core belief , but the guiding principle for me , the first principle

 

[SaintJosifStalin]

I think that's like a core foundational belief for hundreds of millions of Buddhists buddy.

Agreed but really depends on the country you live in or the beliefs of your community.

For my part I've withdrawn from society more than it excluded me. I feel like I was born at the wrong place at the wrong moment.

I know what you mean. I think I've isolated myself because I've grown less relatable to normal people. I prefer being alone to engaging with people who don't understand me.

 

[shiftingtendons]

i feel like people know a secret about living that I don't. I'm not part of the party

I definitely felt that way my whole life. And I shouldn't have been born with my issues. It causes way more harm than any good.

A hundred percent agree with you on that one.

 

[android]

not a part of society never was
some people are just meant to be the ugly ducklings that get culled by natural selection

 

[VoidBlessed]

I've never belonged here. I know it, and everyone else knows it too. Sometimes I joke that my sould was supposed to end up in a squid alien in another galaxy where I'd be totally normal.

 

[Pale_Rider]

Long story short. Of course.

 

[dontletthembribeyou]

Yes. I've been outcast since I was a literal baby apparently. It's because I have a facial deformity so most people find me scary and disgusting before I can even say anything to them

 

[Michelstaedter]

A NEET like me is practically dead inside. I barely consume anything, I live off my parents and with them, so I have no aspirations to have children, which means generating zero money. People aspire to something and to live 70-80 years, but I don't even aspire to reach 35-36; I have no interest in living any longer.

 

[Aloneandinpain]

I am part of society, just a part that's right in the edge and almost completely invisible.

The area I don't fit in at all is that of relationships and romance. I'm definitely not a part of that despite wanting to be. Like I'm banned from that particular part of life.

 

[7000bees]

Definitely. I feel like I get just close enough to see what other people can have with relationships/friendships, but there's something deeply wrong with me that prevents me from ever getting there myself.

 

[LaVieEnRose]

It's not just a feeling

 

[Andarna]

I've never felt like I belong to society, to my family, or to anything at all. Even when people accepted me into their circles, I could never shake the feeling of being an outsider.

And I know it will never change. I will never find my place here.
