do you ever feel...?
 

Do you ever feel like you don't belong in the world, that you're not quite sure where you do belong, but that you're different from everyone else, and can't quite be like everyone else, and not in a good way?

It's something I've just started working on in therapy, along with my feelings of loneliness...

I just wondered if anyone ever felt similar...

Hey **huggles**i have felt very similar. Its good your working on it :) i hope it goes well and you manage to feel that you do belong because you really really do. Take care xxxx

Yes I do!
Sometimes I really feel like an alien or a different species. However similar to Irene I also do sometimes like it, it'd be boring to be just like everyone else.

Aye. a bit like you're an alien or something.. like you dont belong anywhere?

*huggles*

Yeah i feel like i'm on a completely different page from everyone else, i don't seem to get the world like other people do.
I hope the therapy helps xx

yes, i think so. like i can't possibly be human. it's really good you're working on it in therapy, i hope it helps you.

All the time *cuddles tight.*

I feel like that constantly, and I'm always trying to work out why i'm so different to everyone else, i thinka bout and react to things different to everyone else.

good that you in therapy for it, let us know how your progress is.

I feel the same!!!

I feel myself dumbing down to relate to my friends (as in acting less mature), i have always been mature but my friends aren't on that level yet.

I'm 15 and would rather hang out with people a lot older than me because i know i can hold a more interesting conversation!!!!

Yeah, i totally relate. Life feels very..kinda awkward?

romp.
{that must be ahard to work on, im glad you have such a GREAT therapist.}

Thanks everyone. It's really good to hear that I'm not the only one who experiences this - you know what I mean...
It's also a relief to feel safe enough to start talking about it in therapy. I feel there'll be quite a few tears before long around this issue. I feel a lot of sadness..
I kind of look like other people, but also not. It's weird. The way the bullies and my parents led me to perceive myself is not good, and very deeply engrained and embedded.

I'll let you all know how things go....

i have been feeling like i don't live like other people, like im weird, like im not in this world, like i have a disability and im different to other people. is that what you mean? there are times that i believe i have something that others don't, like sometimes i believe that i don't see or hear the way other people do, like im not normal. thanks for writing it down. i couldn't express it. do you think its a problem?

im glad you are working it in therapy.

Glad you're able to work on it now =).

I've felt like that, yes.

Thanks.

I'm not sure yet how to describe how I'm working on it... I'll work on it! :)

im glad your working on it hunny.
your not on your own, i feel like it alot.
its horrible but it is something to work on.

a lot of the time I feel this way, and I'm sorry you feel this way too.
I've always wondered why I feel this, because it's been there since my
depression came.

depression can make you feel so alone and isolated though.. may that adds to it?

All the time *hugs*
