I don't belong here on earth

I have always felt left out of everything.. and no matter where i go i get this feeling that i'm not liked by people and not involved with anything they are involved with.. a lot more people feel the way you do.

THE REASON ANYONE WOULD FEEL OUT OF PLACE IS DUE TO SOCIETY. WE ARE MEANT TO BELIEVE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE A CERTAIN WAY. WE HAVE TO CHOOSE WHAT IS OFFERED BY IT. PEOPLE WHO DON'T FIT INTO SOCIETY HAVE ALWAYS FELT OUT OF PLACE. THEY DON'T FIT IN THE CROWD, THEY THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND THEY KNOW SOMETHING ISN'T QUITE RIGHT.A FEW EXAMPLES: THE MATRIX, EQUILIBRIUM,Existenz,Aeon Flux Series,Logan's Run,Metropolis,A Scanner Darkly,V For Vendetta,THX 1138,Southland Tales, and many others. we live in a dystopian society at best.

so the feeling of thinking your from some other planet is most likely based on the fact that you really don't fit in. the good thing is that man of US DONT. Many TRY to fit in and it works while others have given up trying and want to at least make the best of their time here.

i meant you are same like me. sorry :(

you are same like you. its not necessary but its true that maybe you are egoistic or eccentric? or maybe you had some deep rooted insecurities which started everything and now you are seeing only the surface? try researching your past. its boring but its better to know the real problem instead of surfacing and getting confused forever. i would advice to do it quickly and get some counselling.
even spiderman needs help. ha ha. even that macho man in the red underwear. lol. try to make your problems into a humour and share it with friends. it helps a lot. good luck.

I feel like this a lot... your friends can be nice but sometimes it feels like if you disappeared no1 would notice... friends love can only do so much for this

my brother has said those same words, and he now thinks he is a pleidian (alien).

would you feel better UNDER the earth? No? well be happy if you can

I believe life is merely an inconsequential existence for everybody. Maybe its just a phase your going through.

Im sure you have felt joy, pain and all the other emotions that comes with the human experience. Try taking a risk, be it plan a holiday or take up a hobbie or something outrageous. Sounds like you need to feel alive again.

A lot of us stuck in middle class western culture feel like this. Life becomes a bunch of Thursdays and we forget that the miracle we are witnessing everyday should not be taken for granted.

Earth is hell. just except it and try to cope.

were all here for a reason, so make the best out of it!

I love being human, even though it's not easy. I have to say we all are lucky to have such beautiful minds.

U guys need to read a book 'the da vinci method' might be very helpful <3

i can def. relate. as a child, i always remember walking around and staring at the sky.. wondering when my alien famioly would return to claim me.. :( everyone i've ever known has hurt me..
billie joe: who knew being a jackass would get me this far?

i wanna be like him.. o-o

I think we've all felt like this at one time or another in our life times. I used to feel the exact same way till things changed and I could start to relate with people. Now I don't mean along the lines of "oh we both like the color blue yay!" I mean people that have felt the way you do or do feel the way you do. According to your poll you're one of the many people that currently feel the way you do. I suppose the only real advice is that no one can give you a reason to the questions of the human experience other then yourself. You feel no connection to your being because deep down you either do not want to be connected, or you do not know the answer just yet. But then again, that's the whole experience. To answer the questions for ourselves. There is no one size fits all for a connection, and no one will build your end of the bridge for you. But if you show that you're willing to make a connection, someone else might make one back. Be it friend or deeper.

I feel disconnected in a concieted way. As in, I'm smarter than you, so I am observing you instead of interacting with you. Like a scientist in a lab. People interest me. What they think and feel and say and do... But I almost don't count myself one of them sometimes.

i feel sorta of the same way as you; such as i feel like i dont't have anything in common with people in my school. And i feel as though no one likes me- so i do feel the same way as you do; i don't know if it i feel it the same exact way u do.

Sometimes I feel the same way & it's tough to feel like you don't belong.

Waw there is 188 person feels like that I thought I'm the only one
I feel just like what you said earlier

thank god finally,
i know EXACTLY how you feel.
there was a period in my life where i lost all hope in connecting with humanity. I lived day to day in this imaginary glass box, being able to see out, however noone could see in.

I have a great idea, for everyone who feels this way, why dont we just all meet up and create another form of mankind?

i feel the same way i feel like i destined for something special.

I am the same. I can't connect with anyone... But try to make the best of it. You're stuck here anyways... O.o

You are not alone.

Me too.

I often feel like an outsider but for the most part I like being different or a bit eccentric. I've finally found a group of friends who I can connect to and count on when I need to and that helps. Honestly though, I have always wanted to be a cat instead of human. That would be awesome haha :D

I understand completely. I don't fit in with humanity. Basic human needs and functions I either don't need or am disgusted by. Ie: I don't like having to eat. Each day I wish I didn't need to breathe. I don't and never have beleived in sex. when I say something I always mean it...i never say something just to make another 'feel better'. I love whole-heartedly. Another example is the fact that at 23 years old I don't posses even one friend...not even an almost-friend. I have no one. I am nothing like my family members either....

ummmm.... I feel that way. I get sad when I hear of people hanging out with the family on holidays. And well, I don't have family. I don't have friends and I have trouble making friends. I'm to the point were it is pointless to make friends with people. I believe that I'm already isolated and there's no way of changing.

really hate when people say ''ur here for reason'', nobody knows that reason, so there's no fucking reason to anything. lifetime on earth is hell indeed, just passage towards something else that will matter! my believe in that. I have totally the same as the author of this topic. always feel like i am totally in the wrong place, like it's an accident i am here, i should have been some place and some time else... not here not now. everything is strange. U want to speed it up this lifetime, but how???

you just have a distorted vision of the 'human experience'.

it's called being an extreme introvert.

i will share my philosophy with you. have you watched mahabharata? its a true indian history that has become almost a mythology. i dont believe that krishna was a god. i believe we are all part of god or say universe. whatever. sorry that was just to clear out assumptions that people have made that our generation cannot accept. dont trust
on your judgement completely but try to observe. judgement becomes much clear that way. mahabharata is believed to be the greatest war
fought. and there is plenty of wisdom in it.
you will notice that in the war there is one
main attraction. krishna riding the chariot and
arjun being the bowman in the back of the chariot.
so here is the philosophy:-
the chariot is your body, the horses are your feelings, the reins are your emotions, krishna
is your mind, arjun is your soul, combining all
of them is you.
ignore the chariot(body), you cannot ride - doom

ignore the horses(feelings), you cannot ride the horses(body) - doom

ignore the reins(emotions), you cannot ride - doom

ignore krishna(mind), you cannot control - doom

ignore arjun(soul/energy that you are made up of), you dont have the spirit - doom

ignore any of them, you have ignored yourself -
doom.

everything seems a doom then. even the ultimate
richness seems like the doom. how can we ignore
ourselves for success? is that really necessary?
we work(any kind of work, studies or
friendship for example) to live, not live to
work.
do you expect to be happy that way?
try listening and understanding your true self
completely and brutally honestly. you will get
the answer.
im not just saying this in simple spiritual ways. i am scientific by nature. and i have been researching these things since childhood.
it always confused me. i even went astray by
following society blindly.
i have researched it through
psychology, common sense,
everyday experiences,
science of energy and all. i have just become
sure recently.
i'd advice dont ignore spirituality or religion
research what is behind it. our genration was
meant to understand it and take it to the next
level. not to destroy. we need to bring a change but not by destroying
or believing just because others say so.
i'm sorry for all these long lectures. but i just wanted to help in my way. i cannot help
when there are so many false assumptions and
false followers. trying to be logical illogically.
but i would advice with all my humbleness to
give it a try. i have found that spirituality
is nothing but ancient psychology. please dont
ignore this as most people do. especially
youngsters like us.
being smart is superb, but giving direction to
smartness through wisdom is magnificient.
try not to be serious, try to get interested.
cheers :)

Actually it has nothing to do with being an Introvert or Autism. Psychology being my minor on college means I have taken quite a few levels of psychology courses, so I can assure you that your arm-chair diagnosis is completely wrong. I am very well acquainted with the DSM-IV manual, surely most here have no idea what that is...Google it.

As to the fitting in with Society theory, sure it seems like an obvious answer. But that too is wrong. It goes deeper than that, much deeper. It has nothing to do with society or any worldly goings on and everything to do with an acute awareness of my own spirituality.

Here is an analogy.

The Earth is like a Giant waiting room. We enter it by way of birth from a human being, there is nothing really to do here so we look around, read some books [education], eat [farm], talk to others while waiting [build relationships]. Because we wait so long and the room is so big cliques [Governments] set up, people get into routines [work], and at some point in time your number is called and you leave the room [you die].

Sad part is, once you get into this waiting room of an existence you forget who/what you really are and take up the persona of a human. People act as if what happens in the waiting room actually matters.

Okay here is the deal.

Believe it or not, like it or not, we are all living spirits. I define a spirit as a ever lasting, ever living being that exists beyond a flesh and blood body. Being here on Earth means I am trapped inside this bag of meat, forced to feel its frail weak emotions and exist in an ever decaying state.

Imagine having a dream that seems so real that you forget who and what you really are, a dream that you identify with so intimately that you consider it reality. Well that dream is what we all call life. And in this dream you are frail, stupid, and overwhelmed with thoughts, feelings and emotions that serve no purpose but to satisfy hormones and self ego. All the while being connected to a body that craves to consume all things to the point of self destruction.

Being human does nothing but bring down the spirit, down to a lower level of existence called humanity. Once I am free I shall make every effort not to get caught up in flesh again.

I am not human. Not even slightly.
I share nothing with them. Not their fears, their joys, their compassion or habits. Mastering the different masks of people helps me moves freely behind their lines.
Maybe one day i will be able to live normally but until then i cannot.

I have felt that way my whole life. I was diagnosed as a Schizoid, and also having Reactive Attachment Disorder and have a grandson with Asperger's syndrome, and since it runs in families, I may have that also. Try going through life like that. I do not feel emotions, I do not feel attachments to anyone, I do not like to be touched. I just am. Over the years I have learned more or less to act appropriately. I watch movies, TV, read books, and have gotten down the way emotions should be shown. I do occasionally act inappropriately when I read the situation wrong.

I am an alien on an alien planet.

I feel the same way. Let me offer a possible word for that feeling.
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sehnsucht" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sehnsucht</a>

You can be an astronaut.

You and all those people should get what you guys keep asking for. So I suggest the next Russian space launch in the coming years, easiest way to get off this planet.

i hate the word autisim. i was born autistic but only with the mild case of asberggers and nothing more than that. i have always felt more like a wild animal in a small cage than a homo sapien.

i'm sorry if i intimidated you. i just wanted to share and help.people in my place generally get
intimidated by my words. they ignore me. my what
called best friends have ignored me. they say
i'm illogical since its hard for me to understand feelings and emotions.but i cannot help but keep trying
and wait for the time. i cannot help if my mind
is functioning that way. atleast for now. everything takes time. as bonjovi sang- keep the
faith.

i'm not asking you to follow mahabharata, but get
to know and understand yourself truely, completey.
be brutally honest with yourself. dont keep away the things happening that you feel wrong. get to the root. there is no point surfacing. that is for
idiots.

sorry. one more thing. ignore mahabharata(society), its like you are ignoring
your environment. another doom.
focus on the doom, its doom.
take trouble, but give direction. we tend to focus
only on whats happening. its a good thing to focus
on whats happening but we need to focus on
direction also. direction will lead us. if you are
a critic, dont hesitate. criticize. its alright.
i need to learn.
you know what? i've been through drug addiction
and schizoprenia(delusion), critics from society. inferiority and abnormal feeings
and feelings of lack of
acceptance because of
being intelligent without
concentrating in
studies. people
find intelligence
attractive
but it
was a dfferent case for me.
i became a loner since my class IV till today.
i feel i dont belong to my family. my mind has
blocked out of my surroundings, my interests,
earth(world) everything. i have got big
responsibilities being the eldest brother, but having a mind of the youngest brother. being the most immatured in the family. being the
eldest but feeling the youngest is better
understanding and more capable. social phobia
for my whole life, just because of being
intelligent. i cry all the time but i cannot
cry just because i am the eldest and a man. going through fame by getting top rank in the
society, then falling down to becoming a drug
recluse.
i bet your problem isnt as much as mine. :)
but one thing i know is that self belief, through self understanding through research, patience, acceptance, willingness, faith brought me courage, hope, determination, will
power a geniune smile after
all these 13 years of depression, restlessness,
desperation, doubts, self criticism, loneliness, whatever.
its all in the mind.
talk to others. some will most probably understand. if they dont, keep patience. still
not working, there is no need worrying about them. let them worry for themselves. find help in other places. there are plenty.
cheers once more.

I feel the same. I would to live in USA. Maybe then I will understand what is like to be a human.

i feel you

I feel the same except everyone seems to hate me.

Certainly not to jump to a "diagnosis" ....obviously only a trained professional could do that....but you may have some autistic leanings.

Autism can vary from mild (which is called Ausbugers syndrome) to very severe, in which the person cannot empathize with other people at all or make social connections.
If it makes you feel any better, I think that most people feel this way at times in their lives...Autistic or not.
