I have nothing in common with people in real life

Lounge

I’m beginning to wonder if I like it that way, so I feel special. Here’s a list:

  • not religious, everybody I know is
  • still have weird spiritual beliefs
  • have a mental illness
  • don’t want children

I don’t fit in anywhere in real life.

Why try to fit when we are all made unique? :rainbow:

everybody has different skills and life experiences that make them unique and it all adds to the spice of life, something different to bring to the table :slight_smile:

I always feel like the odd one out. Even in groups of supposed shared interest (like church for me) I’ll have a different configuration, so to speak, of beliefs and lifestyle. I don’t fit anywhere, and I go through periods of time when I’m distressed about it, but the truth is I’d rather be who I am truly than try to change to fit any group.

Same here (minus the religion bit)

I don’t fit with any of my friends, they’re all from different backgrounds.
I never fit with the new people I meet either.

But I just suck at choosing people.

I’ve always felt different, and I took pride in that. Little did I know that I would develop schizophrenia one day, which makes me even more different than all my friends and acquaintances. But I don’t really complain. This is my destiny and my battle. I am a warrior!

Not religious is okay, have a mental illness is not special either, don’t want children is particularly common these days. What I think is having weird spiritual beliefs or delusions is more difficult to fit in real life. Count me in.

Hello, I identify with what you think. I’ve been in hospital many time, schizophrenics have independent spirits, in manic time they experience extreme emotions, …where wisdom is garnered, though we may feel alone, we can often be alone, and follow our path, much more than supposedly mentally well people, whatever that means. I’d like to be your penpal, I live in Dublin, Ireland, patrick

I really identify with what you have written. Every single point.

Although I’d like to add another, I don’t have any interest in going to the gym!

Seriously though every one of your points is me in spades.

In my old team at work, everyone used to go to the gym and talk about “training” (for what I don’t know).

Thanks for posting this because I thought I was alone.

I’m having a hard time in this area! I said to my gal, “I have no one and nothing,” but it hurt her feelings.
