Do you feel like you don’t belong here, in this world and society? You will be surprised to know that it may actually be a good thing.
by Anna LeMind
We grow up believing that in order to be happy, we need to belong somewhere – a society, a country, a social circle and finally, a family.
The desire to be a part of something bigger than ourselves seems to be our innate need, which probably has evolutionary roots (remember the well-known notion that human is a social animal?).
As Wikipedia states, “belongingness is the human emotional need to be an accepted member of a group.”
But what happens in the case of people who don’t only lack this need but also feel that they don’t really fit in this world?
Some individuals don’t simply consider themselves different from the rest – they actually have different tastes, way of thinking and priorities in life.
They don’t like popular things and activities and don’t go after the goals most people pursue.
They may seem a sort of weirdos to those around them, but the truth is that there is a bright side of being a “misfit.”
Today, we will discuss four categories of people who are very likely to have a sense of detachment from the world because of their emotional and mental makeup.
Moreover, it’s not a bad thing at all and is, in fact, an indication of an increased awareness and sensitivity.
1. Deep thinkers
Sadly, the society we live in is giving more and more importance to the primitive instincts and material needs. So it makes sense why individuals capable of deep thought may feel like they don’t belong here.
If you are a deep thinker, then you probably know what truly matters in life. That’s why seeing people around you chasing ephemeral goals and being interested in meaningless stuff is so disappointing.

I KNOW the feeling and I agree with you a thousand per cent !!! If even a few of the things happen that are being discussed on the alternative news web sites there will be a MUCH smaller population in this country and in the entire world SOON so what difference does it really make if those of us who are awakened don’t fit in with mainstream society ?!!! See Ya Folks ! It was nice knowin’ ya and it was a hell of a party while it lasted (Oh , and Hey Sheeple….Don’t let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out) !!!
It’s a nice idea, but feelings of isolation can be very destructive. No matter how much you tell yourself you don’t need them, sometimes you would give your right arm to be able to speak to them on their level.
