Is it normal to not feel normal?

9 Comments

As I grow up I notice I don't really fit it anywhere. I pushed away some of my closest friends. I have absolutely no motivation to pursue goals. I'm a drop out I'm overweight. I think about things like " What is reality? "
Mind over matter they say.
I'm constantly battling myself. Arguing with myself in my head and sometimes hitting myself just to keep my mind off the subject. I sometimes picture myself as the president only in the hopes that I could be someone some day. Im so used to being a nobody yet im so content with being lonely. I've never had a real connection with somebody in my life. Everyday I think of making a difference in the world. Whether it be discovering a cheap self sustaining energy source or just making people understand each other. We fight amongst ourselves and for what reason? I think about all these things on a daily basis. I dont think im normal as my thoughts go much deeper. I'm not interested with any of the day to day things like working or even money. I dont value materialistic things like most people. My dream is and always has been to make a difference yet im stuck in my room every day of the week... With no direction to go.
In the end im just asking. Am I normal?

      Normal exists in the whole fabric of our society, it is embedded, ingrained and indoctrinated. It is a tool to heard the masses. Normal is one word that scares the living shit out of me.

    I can relate to a certain extent. Not everything here you listed applies to me, but I would say that I too have never really found my place. I eventually gave up trying. I feel a lot more comfortable staying at home away from everyone then making something of myself. Mostly this has to do with a lack of self confidence which has derived from feeling so out of place. I wouldn't say I'm weird or a freak, I can't explain it exactly, I just don't fit in. I'm not even an outcast (though I was in middle and elementary school). I just feel strange amongst a lot of people and only have related to a small handful of people.

    It's not that unusual. You sound like you lack confidence. You feel lonely, desperate and hopeless, yet you do nothing to change because you're afraid you'll never find your place so you hide away instead of changing. Your wild fantasies are things you probably deep down feel you could accomplish but because you are so afraid of failure and because you feel that you'll never really find your place, you refuse to act up on them. Maybe not, but it's how I feel. I want to change the world too but I'm too afraid of failure or getting out of my comfort zone to do anything mostly because I feel so out of place and out of line. I just don't feel comfortable around people and it really sucks.

    Normal is a social construct and totally depends on where u are in the world and during what time period so hoe can it be taken seriously? ?? You will find ur way young woman and when u do it will be uniquely yours...not "normal". Blessings ♡

    I just wanted to say thanks to the OP for posting this. Much of that is me, except for the hitting and hiding things.

    I think a lot of people have this feeling. With the help of support and others even people on this website I hope you can find yourself and what you really want to do. I have felt this way I feel so lonely inside and only want to pursue my goals but I just feel so lonely. I do truly hope you learn more about yourself and gain the confidence to be you!!! :)
