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?

Yes, you're an artist? Artists/creative types are just very different types of people, they really don't view the the world the same way as other people. I also have no sense of belonging either. I bounce around from group to group (vastly different groups), site to site and never really find a group that feels like home.

@Angelwarfare I never really thought of it like that. You might be right.

And I’m sorry you feel like that too. I hope you can find a place where you truly feel like you belong 💜

@Henal That's kind of you, thank you! I don't know if I will, there is just so much hate out there and as soon as a certain group of people show their true colours, I hightail it out of there.

@Angelwarfare Yes, I understand what you mean. It’s very difficult to find good, honest people these days. Like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

@Henal Exactly!!
