[i]Bottled[/i] is a good pen pal app I think.
It's common for orphans to struggle with a sense of belonging. Maybe you can go on Reddit and see if there's a group for orphans where you can meet others like you who gets it.
I have a friend with PTSD who also struggles a lot with not belonging anywhere. He has a great life outwards, a dog, friends, activities, hobbies, a great job, great coworkers. Yet he feels as if he doesn't belong in his own life.
I have asked him what belonging means to him. And he said to feel accepted and wanted for who you are. To be able to truly be yourself. I asked him if he's not being himself with his friends, he said yes, he is. But still he feel like he don't belong.
So I asked what wuyld make him feel like he belongs, and he said if his friends included him more directly by inviting him to things and pulling the strings too. So I told him to tell his friends that.

@Queendragonfly Thank you for sharing this. Happens with me as well. I always keep thinking that me being with them is a burden on them. I feel guilty of ruining the mood of everyone

You are not alone. Many people feel this way their whole lives. I suppose the solution is to find people you feel comfortable with, and that you belong. How you do that, I don’t know. I think it’s a matter of luck most of the time.

Don't know any sites but i do know being an orphan is the loneliest way to live.
