I don't belong here

6 Replies

Have you ever looked at the people around you and just felt that you don't belong here, I keep having this feeling everyday I can't find a place to call home.

Yes often, I've moved around alot to try to get rid of this feeling but no matter where I've gone I have still had the feeling. Something that helped me is to think that everyone around you has some kind of hobby or interest and if you ask them about most people are always happy to tell you about it. If you ask to join them or learn about it you may find an activity or interest that helps you feel like you belong.

meme I can understand the feeling because your situation is so chaotic. Our home should be a comfort zone, a safe haven and when it isn't, it can make for you not feeling like your belong. One day I hope your find what "home" really means but unfortunately not until you are on your own. :) xx

All the time. I don't feel I belong around most people.

YES. I once went to dinner with my girl group and the whole evening I felt like I was watching it outside my body. “I should be enjoying this,” I thought. My face was smiling but I wasn’t even present, and I could tell they didn’t notice. I was definitely severely depressed. Just know that the depressed brain is a filthy liar and feelings aren’t facts. Please find a pro to talk to! I hope you have a trusted friend to hold you hand (even if only virtually during Covid) too. Hugs!

Oh meme, I feel you. I feel like that all the time. The difference with me is that i know what is missing. Many times I have thought that understanding self helps with knowing what you need around and what you don't need. I have studied myself and I know what makes me different. The problem is that what I need is either not at all available or just far away from me but in the meantime I stick with what is around and retreats when it is too much until I get what I know is suitable for me. So, let me ask you and be curious like a cat, do you know urself and know what is it that you need that is not around you? Is it within reach? Finding answers to those questions will help you a great deal. Good luck
