Do you fit in?

Imagine living in a world where you grow up as a foreigner.
You're not in your ancestral land.
You look around and although there are others like you they are different to you.
You are aware of your ethnicity and the culture but it doesn't feel like home.
You visit home and you are not welcomed, but treated worse that the real outsiders.
Where do you go?
You travel far and wide to find acceptance but you're a misfit.

The one place you expect to be accept is with those who gave you life but still you are rejected.

Here I live a life of isolation waiting for the day to find my home within.

I feel the same way and yet I look like most of the people around here

@MushroomFaerie shocking! It really is. I spend my time being so open hoping just one person will get what I mean. The sad thing is although you feel this way, on occasions we clash. I don't even have the fight or drive to contest whatever you have to say. Because what is the point? We're always going to be different.
@Peppa wow

@MushroomFaerie I'm just being honest. I accept that although we may share this similar feeling, it's not enough to bridge that gap and I accept it. There was a period of time where I would have fought tooth n nail to get you to like me but what's the point, for you to keep rejecting me and for my self esteem to keep taking a knock?
@Peppa yeah okay why are you assuming anything about me? Your going to remain alone with that massive chip on your shoulder that iam not responsible for.
Am I not entitled to feel alone also or are you the only one in the world to suffer? Wake up man

@MushroomFaerie I'm not assuming anything, you have responded to me a few times and the responses you've made have come across blunt. If I could remember which ones specifically I could say but I post a lot of stuff.
I never said you're not allowed to feel alone. But in a situation like this another person may feel the need or desire to comfort you or befriend you. But I know that's not possible between us because we have had interactions in the past which have left me feeling less than welcomed by you. So I was merely pointing out the fact that this can happen sometimes two people can have similar experiences but despite it still just won't get on. In an ideal world we'd all get on. But we don't live in one
@Peppa well I'm sorry if you feel that way about me. Gooday
