I've never felt like a real human, since my early childhood I said my soul is alien, from another planet.
This feeling returns every now and then, I even searched for a Starseed community online but I don't really like it to be honest.

Now I've came across an article from a trustworthy source that they may have found a proof of a parallel universe and it freaked me out. I was scared on Saturday that I may really be an alien soul. Because it seems to me I'm only faking being human. I observe humans and I do exactly what they do so I don't attract any attention. But it feels fake to me. This is not my real identity.

I don't think this is a delusion, because I know this can't be proven. I know I shouldn't talk about this publicly because no one would believe me. I'm not saying I have any kind of evidence... But this inner feeling has been worth me since I was very young.

I've asked the question many times

I don't sleep like a regular human

I eat more like a machine than a human

I don't connect/ get along with other humans (but I do with doors and walls.)

I have always thought my body would be better as a dolphin than a human (I have wanted to be a dolphin for as long as I can remember)

my looks resemble the older sister of shrek (who isn't human, an ogre)

- I can do an impression of mickey mouse/ minie mouse/ Donald duck/ what ever Disney character, but no actual celebrities or human impressions

oh right,

and I technickly live in a dark cave (my room), only coming out to hunt for food/ water when it's quiet

Oh, Shrek! I've been called Shrek by local teenagers who shouted that at me. I usually take offense at name calling, but this one actually made me smile inside because I think it's quite accurate :-)

Because of my trauma/abuse I've often felt sub-human.

I feel human. I haven’t always felt female though.

Finally after leaving my bad marriage & learning why my family growing up was so dysfunctional. Have to admit that all the wonderful people now in my new environment really helped me learn what really being a caring human is all about

[amicus_curiae]

Nowadays I feel outrageously human.

Read an article yesterday about the fact that physics hasn’t shown much progress in the past decade; still married to the standard model. Nobel prize winners obliterate some string-theorists by proving that there aren’t 9-11 different dimensions. May be multiverses but parallel universes? Doubtful.

What makes me feel human? This glorious process of dying! I’m bedridden, now. When my brain lacks oxygen I feel high. When I’m pain-medicated I feel high. Most of the day I’m more idiotic than not.

Very nice hospice nurses. They attend to my all-too-human functions that remain.

I’ve never been able to refrain from feeling like a lunatic.

That's disgusting.

I dun know, what's a human feel like? I hate sports, feel no intense feelings for one team over the others, don't jump up and down and scream, don't cry at weddings.....hmmm it's possible my problem isn't that I have an MI, it might be that I was mislabeled human?

I don't do any of that either & I definitely feel human....My mind is wired more on the logical side than most women I know but that is just fine with me....still human.

This is very interesting to me...

As a child I thought many times that my parents loved me more than the dog, so for a long period that's how I thought of myself, just as a dog... in the sense that I would have my basic needs met but anything above and beyond, I didn't have the privilege of experiencing...

As I grew older and learned so many things, I just realized that as a child I latched on to this thought because it made sense to me in the framework of my family. I have sense released that belief because it doesn't serve me and only pushed other people away. For the longest time though, I was hellbent on proving to others that I was worthless and my childhood was so neglectful, but looking back on it now, my brain just wanted to prove my belief (that was developed in childhood) correct, when in fact there was no way to actually prove I was as worthless as a dog, no one could prove that in a court of law. I have sense debunked that belief and I feel so much more connection and happiness as the human that I am...

This is very interesting, thank you for sharing.

The middle.

I'm normal but I stand out a little. I don't really fit in.

Sometimes I wish I could wake up whenever I wanted and sleep whenever I want instead of following a schedule.

[MickeyCheeky]

I'd say so.

I don't. I don't feel anything. Except pain.

[seeker33]

This weekend I was looking at some pictures of the universe. This time I felt peace and like it's my home there.
Other times the universe scares me for exactly the same reason - what if I really am an alien? Then I'd have to be scared of myself!

[Egnito]

Oooh wow, I thought I'm the only "broken human" available. I don't think I'm a human b/c I don't know how to love n how to grief. I don't know how it feels. I don't recognize it. People said I'm not human b/c I can't feel those emotions. I think I was born human but sometimes just doesn't connect the right way in my brain so I'm just half human.

I never really talk about it with anyone but one person. He said that there's only 4 basic emotions for human to be called human...love n grief are not included.

But still plenty people calls me not human

Let's not give a damn about the people who say you aren't human. I am pretty sure the United Nations Organization will recognize you as a human.

The way things turned recently made me wonder. Muslims are not human, blacks are not human, aspies are not human.

Also people say to my face I don't have any value in society and that I am beneath them.

If those people who think they are human really are, I don't ever want to be.

No, I have never felt like that which is described as "human". That concept is, however, a product of western thought. Read about maya (illusion) - or, although his is western theory - Freud's Uncanny.
