Is it normal...born in a different decade

My whole life I've felt that i was born in the wrong decade. i don't have a similar mind set or way of thinking as anyone that I've ever met. i feel things are WAY to complicated and that they should be simple and things would just be better. i feel like i shouldve been born early 50s like '55. I'm like a modern looking love child and believe i would have fit right in back then(cuz honestly i fit in with zero people,) and i think its cuz i was born in the wrong decade...is that normal?

    Yes, it's entirely normal. Being born at a certain time doesn't mean you automatically adopt the attitudes of the time you were born. Personally, I do, but how stupid would I be to assume that because it's true for me, it's true for everyone?

      I agree. I should have been born prior to the gold rushes as it reallye feels like I was there. So I was born in the wrong century.

        Interesting. Would you want to be there while it was happening? I've always had this real thing about being in New York at the turn of the 20th century when all the skyscrapers were going up and movies were becoming common.

          Absolutely sure would have wanted to be there. I think it started when I did a project on the Gold Rushs at primary school on School of the Air. My son and I have just came back from trekking in Laos, panning gold with the Hmong artisan miners. We were going to go to Myanmar but ran out of time trying to let visa for where we wanted to go.

    I don't know if its normal but i feel the same. Its year 2013 and im 23 soon, i should be out having fun, loving technology, depressed with the economy. But nope, nothing. I love messing around doing up laptops and computers but that is just a hobbie i just started I have this life, i love watching programs like Downtown Abbey or Mr Selfridge because of the time they are set in. I would give any thing to live then, i dream about the life i would have and what i would so and its so depressing that im here, its that bad i hate my life!!

    I totally feel you on that one.

    I feel that way too but I do ask myself: Would it really be THAT much better? I mean, I honestly felt like I should of been born in the 50's as well. But you'd have to really experience the 50's to know what it feels like, and then perhaps maybe your feelings about it would change. For example, think of the time period. The Cold War, no computer's and gadgets (that we in this day of age take for granted). And you've got to think of things like healthcare, totally different social norms etc.

    What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
