My home just does not feel like home anymore. There is always at least one other person in the house, but I feel alone. My family love me and want me here. They do make me feel welcome but I just feel like I shouldn't be here anymore.
I think I should move out but I think I would still feel alone. I won't have money to move out until another six months or so anyway.
It's hard to explain but I don't feel comfortable in my living situation. I do not feel at home. I feel like I am in a foreign place.

    How old are you? Because it may just mean it's time to move on, and that happens to everyone :)

    i felt the same exact way living at my house. I had 2 sisters and a brother there and my mom and dad have been married for 30 years, and my dad was my sisters and i softball coach bla bla bla... etc., i had the ideal upbringing and despite all that, i still felt like an outcast in my own home. None of us were close. Parents and the kids were on two different planets. I was already a rebellious child so i didnt help the situation at all with what i chose to do at the time. But i moved out at 16, and im 21 now. But my parents and I have one of the best relationships we have EVER had in my life. Moving out is a big choice. You have to be sure you're ready. Its not fun doing whatever you want all the time. Its fun at first then it just doesnt matter anymore. So if you're still at your parents house, id suggest talking to them about it, and coming up with compromises for what you think you should be able to do. You have to be willing to say okay to at least a few things they suggest, otherwise its a waste of time. And giving them reasons why you think you deserve what youre asking for. Let them know also what you're willing to do for them to show them you appreciate them giving you a chance to make your own choices. Ive done drugs got in my dads face a few times, beat the shit out of my siblings, have kicked in doors at my parents house to get in my sisters face i used to run away, steal from my parents, and all types of shit. If the person who has done all this shit typed above,is giving you this advice you should really take what im saying into concideration. I bet you itll work.
