anyone feel the same?

zach93 · Aug 03, 2012 at 03:11 PM

Since i can remember i feel like i was born in the wrong time era... everything about modern society is completely opposite of what i believe and the way i act. I often find myself getting depressed because i feel like i shouldve been born back in the 1920s because nothing im use to or that i do matches this time period its like even though im here now i belong and would fit in most during that era.... is this normal? do others feel this way?

Zach--I do feel that way sometimes, not necessarily a certain date, but at least in a different time.

What kind of illnesses/questions brought you here?

Hello, Zach. I do not feel as you describe. The Twenties may have been roaring, but the Thirties brought the desperation my parents often spoke of. Reality takes the glamor out of many things.

hey zach , i do get this sometimes ... but not about a different era ,
I just think im born in the wrong place , since here anyone around me seems dumb and has totally different interests ( and imo those interests are useless )

That's what I was wondering as well--is there any dissociation involved?

I feel the same way, zach, like I should have been born about a century ago. I'm not comfortable with the world as it is today.

For me, I find what I perceive as a general moral decline as saddening, but I'm far too in love with modern comforts (the laptop I type this from, for example) to consider living in the past.

I feel this way all the time. I have even mentioned it to my wife. She thinks its funny but she agrees. I could care less about modern conveniences....I'm most comfortable camping out in the woods. My time and place would be back when men were men and battles were faught and won by hand. Would have much rather faught for a woman than beside one.

yes I relate to the black and white pictures of history....apparently 1816 was the first image made. that will do me...I prefer the simpler times and it's arguable enough to suggest it's all relative right...but!!

I doubt it and it's proven humans are increasing intellectually way WAY beyond our 'casual' capabilities.

so I say let this modern world burn I want to go back in time and experience the realities of life.

growing food...hunting...building my own house.

fighting off enemies.

caring utterly for family...dying from whatever is designed to kill me at the time it wants to kill me...

I hate this modern stupid outsmart nature modern man-woman-kind...he and she aint kind it's selfish and unrealistic.

yes I feel the same.

give me a spear and some antelope underpants and I am on my way!

I 100% understand what you mean. I come to find myself wanting to live in an era before the industrial revolution. We are surrounded by so much machinery nowadays that it's unbearable, and not to mention it makes me depressed to think that we are so separated from nature without even knowing it. Natural silence does not exist anymore.

I would have loved to live in the thirties. Sure, it was the great depression, but Joseph Campbell still called it the best time of his life even though he was unemployed and living on the streets. He loved the freedom he had during the time. I want freedom, I was born to be a pirate and sail with Francis Drake or Batholomew Roberts... unfortunately they have been dead for while... beyond that, I also wish for the 90's. I am a 90's kid. What I really desire is freedom. Pirates had the freedom of the seas. In the 90's we had the freedom of the internet. During both time periods, the world was ours. Now I am just a slave to an evil system, I hate it, and I wasn't meant to live like this. And yes, the internet is in its dying gasps from government regulation and stupid corporations and copyright law enforcement. So yeah, I feel like I should have lived in another time quite often.
