Is it normal that i feel i don't belong here

I don't feel like I belong in this world. It's very hard to explain, I just feel as though I don't fit in with society. I almost feel like I belong in the past, living in the woods or something. Does anyone else feel like this?

Is It Normal?

  • I feel like this too. I'm a VERY sensitive loving caring and giving person and yet only seem to meet people who take advantage of my goodness and all they do is take take take from me. I know it's because I let them do it to me but I dont like upsetting people and yet they don't seem to care about my feelings. Sometime I wish I was on an isolated island somewhere where only people like myself existed. People and life can be so cruel.

  • I feel like this too. Maybe you have realised the human race were hunters and had a struggle to live a journey now all we have is shops and super markets although technology is a great thing it is starting to out shine humanity and its only technology that is progressing not the species thats making it.

    • Thanks, you reminded me that I need to go enjoy this rare glimpse of sunshine that is making the computer screen hard to see.

    • That's a much more interesting answer than the one I was going to post. I think you've hit on something there.

  • Right there with you. Its almost painful. Im less on the social anxiety side of things. I do feel like i should be here but about 200 years ago and in the woods building my cabin and chopping wood and checking my traps and meeting strangers next to the fire. What is that feeling? I seem to be pulled to the woods. Not drawn to it but pulled by it. Its so weird. And when im in the woods..... wow, ya know. Its like having to pee real bad and then you go to the woods and you feal fine.... so weird. Good luck to all of us.

  • Yes I also feel like this,it feels like I don't belong in society and that I'm only interupting whenever I talk to people(be it friends, family or strangers) they always give me that weird look. I'm not really compatible with people and I don't get them at all, still they are nice to study though.

  • Well, hermitude is pretty well possible. Especially if you see a doctor and get some pills. I basically dislike everyone, or feel indifferent towards them.
    The deal is, unless you happen to be fascinated by a particular field of specialization, and are intelligent enough to work up to it, the world is terribly boring. Especially if your in the west, where you cant really complain, there is no reason to revolt, a real revolt would tear down the best current thing going. But no one will get enthusiastic about the myriad of small changes, or even the larger ones, that need to happen to improve our democracies.
    We have not only bread, but freedom, so we are pacified. Apparently this is the point in an equation of diminishing returns, where it is just easier to do nothing than work toward a small goal.
    There isn't much to do about this, suicide is difficult i think, a soylent green type solution unlikely. Ideally you will just find the highest paying easiest job you can, and then take as much drugs as you can while still being able to hold on to it.
    From our vantage point, apathy looks like turmoil.

  • I don't feel that I belong either. I've always wanted to run away or join a community where I did fit in..

  • Its normal that you feel like that because we all feel like you don't belong either. Now go play in the bush
