I've always felt that I don't belong in this world, is this normal?

  • It's perfectly normal - not common, as you all ready no, but not bad or wrong either.

    I'm the exact same way as you, and I know that a lot of people feel the way we do - a minority on the whole, but a lot nonetheless. Trust me, you are most certainly not alone in this world. There's quite a good chance that you belong to the INFJ personality type - a very rare type of personality (about 1%% of the total population has it) - though that isn't a sure-thing. The most important thing is that you stop worrying about whether or not you're normal and just embrace your nature - it might be difficult sometimes, but you are who you are. You aren't wrong or weird; just different, and different in a very positive way. You're not socially isolated; as you said, you have friends you care about a great deal.

    I'd strongly encourage you to keep up your writing - many people like you and I not only have a natural talent for it because of our idealistic nature, but I for one find that it can be an excellent escape from the stresses of this world. Don't be afraid to keep on 'daydreaming' either - the ability to craft an entire world in your mind is a wonderful gift, and it is an even greater gift to be able to escape to those worlds when you need to. Your imagination is a powerful tool, one you can use to great benefit - so long as you keep a firm grip on reality, there's nothing wrong with using your imagination freely.

    I'd also encourage you explore the possibility of regular meditation, preferably visual meditation. It can be an effective way to help deal with the stress in your life, and it's a very self-involved, independent and isolated activity that should suit you well.

    But hey, enough advice, right? How you feel is totally normal. Don't let anyone make you believe otherwise - so long as you have your friends and your health, everything will be fine.

      • While reading it seemed like someone is writing about me, well I don't know the answers to your questions, as I myself I am lost inside and feel that the end to my this life will lead to a journey were I truly belong.
