How would you help a friend who no matter what positive happens to them, always feel like they don't belong?

I really wanna help this friend. They see a therapist and do what they can on their end but this is a big obstacle that so far neither me or their therapist or themselves has managed to solve. I appreciate any thoughts or advice. If you have simliar experiences, please share how you best cope. Thank you.

I'd say find people that are familiar to them, with positive associations. So if they were surrounded by artists as a child, join an art class or meet up with artists. I can relate somewhat as I felt that way for a long time. I feel at home with feminists and artists as this what I grew up with. I feel like I 'belong' with them.

I'm not sure how to go about treating that, but I believe that some people fit in......by NOT fitting in!

@uncalled4 Yeah. Striving to cope is more realistic than striving to be cured.
