Is it normal to feel like i'm meant for so much more than this world?

I wasn't meant to be born. I had a true knot in the umbilical cord, and it was wrapped around my neck twice. I should have been a still born, but here I am. I know that this will sound crazy, and I know that I'm still very young, but I feel like an old soul. I feel like I don't belong here. Sure, I have dreams like everyone else. I love to write and sing. But none of it feels right to me. I only feel right when I help people. I'm a very spiritual person, I always think about energy and the universe and the value of life. I just feel like I'm made for so much more. I feel like helping people is and should be my only job and purpose in this world. I feel like... I'm gonna sound crazy, but I feel like I'm not really human, that I've just been put in a human's body... I feel like I have a home somewhere else, somewhere greater. It would explain why I always have these weird dreams and why I've accidentally astral projected a few times. I know that I'll get called a lunatic for saying all of this, but it's how I feel.

    This is called having delusions of grandeur and is a diagnosable mental health problem.

      I feel the same way as this kid but it's not delusion of grandeur...to feel like you belong somewhere very far (lets say another realm) isn't the same as feeling that you're superior. Well at least I don't but I don't feel that earth is where I should be either.

    Then use your power to make this world so much more than it is. Then you'll fit in and everyone will be happier.

    Problem solved.

    I've felt this way before. But if you really feel like you enjoy helping people, put that to good use. Maybe you are supposed to be in this world to do just that! Maybe you can go to school to become a doctor, nurse, teacher, or like a police officer, or fire fighter, or something... Someone that helps other people. Go for it!

    I've always wanted to be Michael Jackson's loafers.

    That would be the closest I'd get to stardom :3

    Normal, yeah!

    I would guess. that there are things inside of you that you are not seeing reflections of around you, and that you haven't found a way to express/manifest these things either..

    and i guess that comes with time. You're full of potential, and you can feel it. You're just not sure how to direct it yet.

    First of all, you were definitely meant to be born. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. Try not to dwell on the fact that the umbilical cord was knotted or wrapped around your neck. That happens to a lot of babies; it's simply a part of life.

    You're not crazy and you don't SOUND crazy, either. Your feelings matter and should ALWAYS be taken into consideration by others. Feeling like an "old soul" and like you "don't belong here" is normal for a LOT of people. It's not always a sign of mental illness OR delusions of grandeur. Feeling out of place in the world is NORMAL for many people. And, feeling like you're different from anybody you've ever met (or that you have a higher purpose in life) is quite normal, too. It usually means that you DO have a higher calling! You're probably more mature than most people your age and tend to get along better with older folks.

    God has a plan and a purpose for your life! You don't yet know what it is, but you'll learn by living. Read the Bible, starting with the New Testament (at the Book of John), and I can assure you that by the time you're finished with the New Testament, you'll finally understand what's going on in your heart, in your mind, and in your life.

    You're not crazy - You really DO have a higher calling! Don't always think about "energy and the universe and the value of life." Be VERY careful with "New Age" spirituality! It will take you nowhere. Be careful of Scientology, Wicca, and any other religion that strays from God. Think about God, get into the Bible and find peace in finally knowing what's going on!

    It may be that you're meant to become a missionary, which explains your need to help people. Leading people to the Lord is the most important thing that anyone can do. You'll see miracles, you'll hear and feel things that this world can't provide or explain, you'll experience things not of this world, and you'll feel at peace with everything.

    Blessings!

    I think it's great! Pursue an education and maybe some religious vocation where you can help the poorest of the poor if you feel called to do that. If that seems too lofty you could work for a non profit charitable organization, become an educator, work in medicine, search and rescue or law enforcement, ect. You could study religion, philosophy, theology or psychology. Maybe find out about volunteering with the Red Cross? Regardless, your attitude is refreshing.
