Is it normal that i feel like i don't belong in the world?

Throughout my entire life I feel like I really haven't belonged in this world. It just feels like my parents/teachers were always just going through the motions to model me into a human being like everyone else, but in reality I'm something different.

Is It Normal?

  • Maybe you have a "gift"?
    Perhaps you are able to share insights of independent thought, that is all too often corrupted by the society we live in.

  • I know how it feels to be a savage in a brave new world. It's like everybody else is in on something that you're not a part of. The best advice that I can give you is to just be yourself. If you don't know who yourself is then exploring it. Stop caring about what others think and only do what you want. I know that it's difficult to be yourself, especially when you've been conditioned your entire life to be "normal," but the first step in finding yourself is to realize that you can be anybody you want. All you have to do is open the cage, you've had the key all along.

  • I am 37 and still feel this way. I have brought 4 lives into this world and held a job for years. Still I am in the wrong place, I am sure.

  • Sounds like you are young. it gets better when you are older, once you move out you will be able to find yourself. this is normal, its something everyone goes through. you belong on this world, you just need to find out what you should do on it (:

  • I know how you feel. I remember being around six or three and saying to myself that I didn't belong and that my family wasn't my "real family". Then, I just sat and cried.

    People are always trying to mold me into something I'm not and could never be. They always get angry and disregard me when they see that I have a sense of self. I wish I could live on a different planet or country and just get away.
