You are definitely not alone. I feel that way ALL the time. It was actually very refreshing to read your post, b/c I often seriously feel as if I'm the only one who thinks that way. Like you, I'm an addicted escapist. I'm constantly reading about the past and daydreaming about the possible future and writing about both, which I know sounds like I've got my head in the clouds. And yet, when I look around at other people and what they care about (Jersey Shore and iphones, OMG...), I feel as if it's the opposite and I'm the clear-thinking one, LOL. And like you, it usually happens only with my generation. I can talk to and connect to adults way better than my fellow 20-year olds. All of my closest friends have always been way older than me! So definitely do not feel alone, I don't know why we feel this way, but I'm hoping we will understand why one day.
I feel displaced, as if I'm from somewhere else
