I get the feeling I don't belong (sometimes even here in PC, though I know that not to be true).
Sometimes when I debate with my mind on 'being' or 'belonging' I see many sides to the problem. I am always looking at my own persona to see if it will fit in to the social surroundings. I feel like I am trying to force a square block of wood in to a round hole.

Its OK though. Sometimes my social skills work for me. Like a defence mech. I can feel if people will be bad for me sometimes. So my 'traits' are kinda protecting me.
The worse moments of feeling like I dont belong is when I need to belong. Like when being in school/college or around family. Now I am older I distance myself from places that will make me feel uneasy.

I think to recognise the fitting in with others problem, is a really good step on the path to finding 'strength', 'courage', 'self confidence'. These are all attainable, all humans have inner powers and strength's that sometimes just need a nudge to bring out.

Its not uncommon to feel out of step or not in line with rest of the human race, but to tell the truth; I like myself as I am.
Maybe I ask too much. To ask the world to fit in with me, rather than the other way round. Maybe not. All I know is fitting in and belonging goes both ways (to be accepted is the key that triggers my confidence). The rest just follows.
