Ever feel like you don’t belong?

I’d love to know honestly.

I have none

Probably not, but every day I try to convince myself that it is, even if I don’t know why it’s worth it yet. Most days I fail and end up just existing for the sake of it. Some days it feels like even existing is too much for me. But hey I’m still here and I’m still looking for the reason why

Everyone feels like they don’t belong at one time or another. Even the people you think have it all, doubt themselves. Some folks put up a front and try to bluff themselves, but even they have secret doubts.

We’re all much more alike than we are different.

I know for a fact that I don’t “belong” lol. Sometimes I go about my day feeling like my brain is physically leaving my body and I’m just this thing that moves around on its own. I hate this feeling more than anything in the world.

There’s a book I read and re-read when I was going through a very tough spot, several years ago: Necessary Losses. It has a chapter on friendship, and one of the subsections is dealing with the limits of friendship (“Even the best friends are friends in spots.”)

Society has built up an expectation about friends and friendships that can’t be sustained.

Most everyone goes through that at least once in their lifetimes and like everything else, it passes.

Keeps coming back though and that’s okay because we don’t come from here and we’re not meant to stay.

So while we’re all here, all we can do is our best. Learn and try to do the right thing on a daily basis.

That’s it. Have fun.

Not sure this is an appropriate general discussion conversation. Not sure how it relates to WoW specifically that is.

As for adding to the convo, sure yeah, I feel like that often enough. Does it really mean anything when a lot of gamers feel that way? Are we really unique in our feeling of isolation?

I change my personality when I’m at work, to be professional, which attracts people who want to date and spend time with me. I wish to do neither.

So, I don’t know if I would belong, but the personality I use when I am working allows me to continue working there. I am taken seriously, which is the point of changing my personality in the first place. But people are making friends with someone who does not exist.

With my friends and family, I am real. My real personality belongs with the personalities they display. So I hope that they are being real too, so we can apply the transitive property twice and conclude that we belong with each other.

All the time; honestly… I don’t really want to fit in, in most groups. I’m not a fan of people, I know I’m a hard person to like, I can be intolerant to many issues, tend to lean towards apathy over empathy… also being extremely introverted, with multiple mental issues. Fitting in has become something I’ve accepted I’ll never do… I got the people who like me, or tolerate me and I am content with that.

I, chrisnp, am gutter scum probably. I did a few noteworthy things in my life, mostly daydreaming up things that other people made awesome, but i basically am just a pervert lazy good for nothing nowadays and was always kind of a pervert that had to forcibly control myself. at least that’s what i think i recall. sure seems that way i dunno i probably have no insight into my true nature or other peoples’. i have no real friends probably i dunno. whatever i’m probably not going to heaven since i’ve committed an endless litany of sins. sorry everyone.

To be honest, I do feel that way but I come to a conclusion that there’s a reason for these feelings and a message to you to find,“You are where you meant to be at this time”. You may never get any physical proof or verification but life is never truly govern by them.

I chalk it up to being a bit headstrong and uncompromising in my beliefs. I’m like a boulder at times in a river. Everything and everyone goes with the flow, and I cannot budge.

Oh I know don’t belong. I was just plopped here against my will. Gotta deal with it now.

Might as well wiggle your toes.

I have a severe fungal infection so no, I’m trying my best not to move them while I use all this medication.

Does that make you a fungal?

If I wanted to belong I’d join a club.

No that makes me in a lot of pain actually.

I wish you a speedy recovery then.

Everyone has the right not to associate with me, I do not have the right to belong regardless of how I feel.

One time i stumbled into a lady’s room. It was much nicer than the men’s room so i knew i didn’t belong there. Plus there were a bunch of women yelling at me to get out.
