This post is like a decade and a half old but I signed up just to respond and hopefully it'll reach someone else googling what I did to find this thread.
I too feel like I don't belong in this reality. I feel like I'm not supposed to exist and my electric meat suit feels so limiting and I hate it. It all feels so wrong.
I was googling and most of what I saw was about depersonalization and disassociation disorders. While I do disassociate, this feeling isn't those things.
Being alive feels so wrong. I've said for years that I don't think I'm supposed to exist here and that I wish I was just a brain. Having a body feels really wrong. This world and reality feel so wrong.
I'm an intense observer. I'd rather watch than be part of whatever is going on. I don't want to interact with people most of the time and there are only two people in this world that feel right to me.
I often tell people that humans are so confusing and being a human is the strangest and most difficult thing I've ever done. It feels really weird to be a person and it feels wrong.
Anyway, I read this post and felt a sense of relief. Y'all described how I feel about life very well and I felt significantly less alone and more understood. I'd still like to figure out the why, but it was really comforting to know other people experience this as well.
Good luck to everyone fighting for life and dealing with these feelings. I hope you and existence find a middle ground of understanding.
I've always felt that I don't belong in this world, is this normal?
