Do you ever feel like you don't belong?

Question

Do you ever feel like you don't belong?

Answer 1

Only at work ! I always feel I belong anywhere else but there !

To tell the truth  , yes I have had that feeling many times in my life....at school I was the one who looked different , spoke differently , wore different clothes etc etc ...

Then you find that throughtout life if you hold fast to your beliefs , values you will always be on the edge of the crowd except when among family & friends.

That's what makes those relationships so important ....our sense of belonging has to start there ....

Answer 2

We all feel this way from time to time but some feel it more than others based on location and the majority of people within that location.  

I know I belong where I reside but good friends seem harder to find these days.  Many people are afraid of their own shadows at times with the stuff the media feeds them and the only way to reconnect to the world is to minimize or eliminate the media from your mind.  Your mind is the one thing that you should protect with everything you have, for to belong to a group of people you have to think and act like they do.  I have never been one to conform to the likes of many, but we all have a place where we belong.  I would love to belong to all but I know that is not possible because I am like Salmon that swims against the current while a good majority of the other fish want to take it easy and go with the current.  

Answer 3

yes once when I was living in a foreign country it is not a nice feeling when you are made to feel unwelcome by the natives you need strong inner strength to overcome this feelings

Answer 4

Sometimes I do feel like I come from another planet...like everything happening around me doesn't concern me or have to do with me...but someone has taught me lately to get more involved so that I feel like I belong and believe it or not, it does work.

Answer 5

as a palestinian muslim living in a predominatly caucasion christian neighborhood, i havent felt like i belonged since 9/11

what sucks the most is even when i go to falasteen or amaan i still dont feel like i belong since i was born and raised in amaerica, i think different and act different and even speak different.

so i guess im stuck in the middle, along with the other millions of arab americans facing the similar identity crisis

Answer 6

Hey, Master Vampire (Ghazal undercover) asked this question last week but Y!A (Bad Guys) deleted it ..

Yes I never felt belonging to this place .. I belong to Heaven but I was kicked out and sent to a deserted place between Heaven and h**l to pay for my badness .. This World is only a dream .. a LIE in other words ..

Everything will change soon though and God will forgive me and allow me to re-enter Heaven .. BUT I'm not really sure that I'll behave this time either .. see! I'm naturally Evil ..

Answer 7

Answer 8

No...all the contrary.

I feel as belonging to different places.

it's a strange feeling, and most of my friends know abt it.

It has happened to me all my life....I have felt myself as divided among 2 places...bcoz i have bornt in 1 country, but emotionally i belong to another one, where my roots are.

My lebanese friends know so well what I'm talking abt and how i feel.
