I don’t belong anywhere..

I’ve never had a sense of belonging before. Anywhere I go, I feel like an outsider or the odd one out. Sometimes, it feels like I don’t even belong in my own family.

I’ve tried to fit in, but it’s like everything about me is so different to everyone else and I’m not sure why.

Obviously this isn’t something new to me. It’s been this way since I was a child. I’ve managed to accept this and it doesn’t bother as much as it used to.

But…I do have moments when I wonder if something’s wrong with me. What if I'm the problem?

Do you ever feel like this?

No, actually I don't feel like that. I just feel that everything is temporary and you can feel you belong somewhere for a certain period of time but then circumstances change, the community starts to crumble, people's life change etc. and you need to move further, find something else, adapt.
I also know I differ from most people I come across and that creates some sort of barrier for me, even if I know they probably don't give a rat's a**, I just feel a bit like an alien or an intruder among others connected through something universal for them that I'm excluded from.
