Have you ever felt Out of Place?

Whenever I've been in that kind of situation, I try to learn from it. What about the situation makes me uncomfortable? It's important to think about that in times like those, because it's when you're struggling that you can learn the most. Right when you get the most frustrated is right before you hit a breaking point, and all becomes clear. Sometimes, just so I can expand my horizons, I put myself in unrelatable situations on purpose. I try to see what other people like about what they're doing that I can't see or figure out, and more often than not I've missed something big!

Oh well, I've been in that situation many times and I can't help but pity myself thinking, what have I done? Should I have been like this or that? I get so "emo" at times. When I feel that way, I simply just leave them if I can't do anything about being left out. But when I'm in a good mood, I start another conversation which i can relate to. :)

Oh yeah I have felt out of place for as long as I remember and I am 56 now. I was raised in numerous foster homes, some abusive, and was never made to feel welcome so I have a mind set that makes me feel unworthy, even though I know I am intellegent and friendly. Most times I prefer to be alone as I don't have to deal with those feeling when no one else is around. I have also been married for 27 years to the same loving woman but my inner feelings have never changed.

hello.. you are not the only who has felt out of place. I feel that most of them time whenever i am in the province and when all the oldie moldies are talking? eewwrr... whenever that happens, i weasel out and go to nearby hut and just talk to salamanders or just do my favorite thing... daydreaming... i dont know if it is helpful for me to sit there and pretend that i know what the old folks are talking about. I dont want to sound stupid with my comments which they may even thwart head on. that would be too embarrassing for me. i'd rather go to some place quiet.
