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?

I don't either, when I was a child I was told often I'm older than my age. I didn't get what that meant until recently. I don't click with people my age. I've always felt out of place when I sit with older people.
My mother always jokingly asks; what planet I come from. At some point I deliberately pushed people away. Rarely do I come across like-minded people. And now I prefer my own company the best.
