Is it normal that i feel very seperate from humanity?

Ever since I met humans other than my family, I have felt that they are rather different from me...and "rather" is an understatement.
As I grow I feel more and more apart the more I interact with people, just because of how they and I think.
They say I'm a monster, I say they are intolerant.

Sometimes it's like I'm devoid of emotion, other times it is like others have no reasoning.
I may have just been unlucky enough to meet the worst people in the world, but I have met quite a few humans in my time.
The entire time I have had communicating with people has been very...unpleasant. I even feel separate from my own family sometimes.

Is this feeling normal?

    We're all a mix of Leatherface, Marilyn Monroe, and Mother Teresa on the inside.

    totally normal (especially when you're young). do you happen to live in a small town (that's usually the worst for any thinking person)?

    It's perfectly normal, sometimes some of those feelings are caused by long periods of time of depression, others bad memories of something that happened long ago.

    When i got to college i felt more normal, but still pretty distant. When you surround yourself with people who share your interests, you don't feel so.... Separated. Art classes are full of weirdos of all sorts! Old French guys, flea market people, hippies, couples that can't be separated, the aloof and the drugged. You name it! You are sure to got in

    this obviously may come across as arrogant, and I have to say it is rather, but sometimes I just become convinced that everyone around me is an idiot, and that I should be calling the shots, I end up not talking to people as all they want to talk about are celebrities and cars rather than the big ideas that are relevant

  • I've felt the same way, but perhaps it's a little bit different.

    I feel like I have nothing to offer or talk about when I hang out with my family so I stay in my room all by myself instead.

      • They always try to get me to come along and have "fun" with them, I don't go with them though because I know how it's going to end.

        They will talk and I'll sit there without anything to say, I've tried talking a few times though.
        My favorite is the time I asked when we were going to have the coffee and my aunt got pissed at me, I said it in a friendly manner and with a pleasant tone but oh no.

        I hate her :)

        Yesterday she told me to go to hell because I didn't go to her house with my grandparents, as said before I hate her :)

    I say it's pretty normal to feel different, everyone does at some point.

    I think we all kinda feel this way, hence why we spend so much time on IIN. Since i was very young i thought of myself as an observer of humanity, rather than as being apart of it. It just seems so much easier for everyone else to act human, even for other introverts. But me? I feel like this life thing is so much newer to me than it is to everyone else. Perhaps it has something to do with the age of your soul.

    Ima respond to you from my own expirience with the "human species"
    I am 19 years old and to be honest sometimes...well all the time i find myself thinking that perhaps i was born or brought to the wrong time or planet lol honestly
    my believes and perspectives of people and life are so not what people think or whatever
    to be honest all my life i have been alone ive never tried to fit in altho i always wished i would atleast blend in anywho i beleive this is normal perhaps a special quality because i find my logic and intellect to surpass that of others and i tend to not care much of simple things but when it comes to my emotions i am VERY intact with them
    specially that thing love basicly i live for that
    now idk if you may relate but try and be at peace with all others and find what makes you happy and as much as you may grow to hate those things that walk everywhere called humans never EVER try anything crazy...altho crazy maybe normal lol dont kill anyone or do anything related.

    Everyday I wake up and wish that it's some sort of outbreak or apocalypse outside and everyone is dead. or minding their own business, like surviving.

    I honestly, hate humanity as well.

    Wish I could just live somewhere in the mountains.

    if i'm normal, you're normal too.

    I guess that depends on why people call you a monster. I feel like part of the story is missing!

  • I can't help but think you want to feel th is way but don't. You are trying to make it too dramatic, which just rings the "stop trying to be different; you're not" alarm to me.

      Can people genuinely not just feel different? Why does everything have to be dramatic or fake?

      • People can, I just feel that when they put so much effort to make it dramatic, using words to seperate humans from themselves on purpose, just makes me see it as dramatic. I think this person might want to be seen outside of humanity, but doesn't feel the way they explained entirely.

          No word of a lie, when I first read this post I actually thought it was you. You tend to be a bit dramatic sometimes as well.

    I guess it depends to what level you are feeling separate. I often feel different from most people and that I'm abnormal somehow, but lots of people seem to feel the same. Most people keep these feelings to themselves (I would too, but it's easier to say things to virtual strangers on a website like this).

    You look like a person (I suspect)
    And you do things that 'people' do.

    If your mind is not thinking like a person, which animal or lifeform do you think you are?

    If you are just talking about communication, well your story seems normal, and it does show a small part of your reasoning.

    There's something else you are not telling us that you feel may not be normal.
    You will need to elaborate on this more IF you want an answer. Your choice.
