Sometimes I even feel connected to the 1920s, and feel like I am missing so many things from there. It is those 3 periods in time, that I feel connected to. Sometimes I do not feel like I belong in this time period and that I am different than everyone else here. I don't think that this is really unhealthy, just an odd thing.

Love this post!!!
I have felt this way more times than i can count. For me it's simply a weird, unexplainable connection or attraction to something/someplace. I have felt pulled to Europe forever, even had fantasies of moving there. Though I don't feel connected to England per se, I have always loved their wit, their self-deprecation, and their humility--something a lot of Americans don't have. The East have the oldest forms of medicine and spiritual foundations. I've specifically been drawn to Japan--origin of Buddhism, and their culture, their respect/politeness, clothes, gardens, etc. etc. I have a strong tie to. A Palm Reader/Psychic once told me I lived in Europe in another life; true or not who can really say, but it was interesting, as I didn't offer any info prompting her to say that.
I can't remember when I
didn't feel like I was in the wrong time period. Though I'm in my 20s I am not all about the tech-stuff my generation is so obsessed with; I don't feel the addiction to be tethered to the world/IPad/etc all the time. I used to believe I lived in the 60's/70's because I enjoyed the music and clothes of that era so much. Interestingly, I can put on fedoras/flapper hats/etc. and look like I stepped out of that time. My entire life my favorite ppl were adults--have always had difficulty relating to my peers. I feel I've been on the Earth for decades longer than my age; been told more than once I'm an "Old Soul", and honestly I don't feel 20-something; I feel more 50+ or 60s. My 68 yr old uncle told me recently that talking to me felt like he was talking to a peer.
It feels like my soul is just super old. I can't explain it. I don't have any past memories, though I kind of wish i did. My dad is obsessed with WWII, and he claims when he watches footage of that time period it is completely familiar to him, that he knows he was there, in another body, etc.
Thank you for bringing this up, such a fun topic!
