I suppose I have too much time on my hands but I often just sit and think about really overwhelming things. It's good in a way because I'm getting to know myself but it's also kind of dangerous because I could drive myself crazy. A common thought is that I don't really serve any purpose on Earth. I feel I belong somewhere else. I'm just getting by here. It's not really fulfilling, satisfying. I feel like there's another world out there. Somewhere I'd feel more at home, somewhere I'd serve more purpose. I've tried explaining this feeling to my closest friends but nobody has felt the same and think it's really strange. Does anyone else ever feel like this?

I know how you feel. I often feel the same way. But I realized something a long time ago, everyone has a purpose. The challenge that is life is finding who it is. Your reason for waking up and breathing. It doesn't have to be a lover or spouse it can be anyone. A best friend a child a parent a sibling or all of the above. You'll feel comfortable in this world once you've found someone like that. I used to feel like you all the time and sometimes I do now but I found someone. Whenever I'm with this kid I know what I'm doing I know where I'm going and why I'm going there. I know what to say I know what to do and yeah it's overwhelming but I'd be lying if I said this kid was nothing to me cause the truth is they're everything. I feel lost when this kid isn't by my side I feel just like you do. Don't give up! Like I said it can be anyone.
somewhere else

I think I know exactly how you feel. I don't believe I belong here. I'm not depressed and I'm not a teenager going through some angsty stage. I just genuinely feel as though this planet/plane of existence/ reality or whatever you want to call it is not where I am meant to be.
I get feelings of anxiety about the world as though something is about to happen. I don't mean all that 2012 stuff. I don't really know what I mean, I just get a feeling something is about to change. I've felt like this since I can remember. It's very confusing.
Does this sound familiar to you at all?

I do feel the same thing. Since I was a kid, before I go to sleep I often look outside my window and stare at the view of lights miles away from my house. Thinking I should be somewhere else. Now, I still experience or feel something is not right. I need to be somewhere or I need to do something. I can't really explain it, I'm also not good with words but I don't know if I feel empty, depressed. I feel I don't belong here. I feel not complete. I feel something is holding me back and the more I stay here, the more I feel trap and unhappy. For a normal person, my life is alright. Loving family, loving girlfriend we have problems, yes, but don't we all have. I shouldn't ask more. I shouldn't feel this way. I just really feel that I need to go that I can't stay.

I Feel A Lot Like You. When I Was 8, I Moved from My Homecountry To The U.S. At First,I Didnt Feel At Home,I Had To Learn The Language,etc. A few Months ago,I Moved Back To My Homeland. I Thought I Was Gonna Feel At Home..But It Aint the Case. I Dont Belong Here,This Place Isnt Meant For me, I Wasnt Made For This Land. I Think I Belong In America. When I Close My Eyes,I Hear My Friends Voices. I Can Imagine My Old House Perfectly. I Have A Boig House Now,But I Would Trade It For My Old One Right Away. I Go To A Private School,In Fact The Best One In Town,But Believe Me,I Would Trade it For My American ISD One Right Away. I Dont Wanna Live Another Day. Dusk Makes Me Tired And Dawn Makes Me Wanna Cry. I Live Fed By My Memories O My Old Life. If I Were To Forget Them. I Would Die. I Feel Like A Ghost,I Dont Belong here,I Was Created For Other Place. Every Night,I Look Out The WIndow. And Even Though the Scene Is Beautiful,I Wanna Throw Up. Every Second Living Here Its Like Losing A Lil Bit Of Oxygen,I Hate The Schoo,,Even Though Im Considered Cool And Have Many Friends, I Hate It. Just Hearing its Name. I Hate My Life Here,Im A Ghost, Im A Human In The Moon,I Dont Belong Here

I'm sure there's different types of people here, with different tunings and missions which explains why most of the people just dream of having a safe and a long life. Like in our human orgamism, there's worker cells, like red blood cells, serving oxygen to other cells and some, like T-cells, waiting for an intruder alert and then waking up to fight a virus.
That's how I feel: like I'm here for a mission and I'm just not yet aware of what that mission is. The normal life cycle just doesnt make sense to me, it's like there's no point to it at all. And as this world seems to be upside down anyway, it makes things worse.
People are like living dead, obeying every ridiculous rule that corrupt goverments as puppets create, filling days with work to chase a dream that the media industry got them searching for. Rich exploiting poor countries and the middle class too afraid for their family's future to say (see) anything. Everyone full of fear, better to follow opinions of others just in case.
I've always been on the "winners" side, never lacking anything, having a safe childhood, good education and a career. Maybe it is because of that, that I've been able to travel the world, to see all the problems with my own eyes.
If this world really is where I should be, that's the only logical explanation to it: that like a sleeper cell, my mission is yet to be found out.
Otherwise I'm really worried that I might be in a coma, laying on some hospital bed, not able to return to my body. Like a dream that's hard to wake up from. Think of it by combining movies Inception and Avatar.
What is the matrix?

Dont feel alone! I have felt this way for years now. Kind of like a hopeless feeling..like i serve no purpose. I have only been able to explain it as ...i feel like im really just waiting around to die. Its really odd and my friends and family now think im suicidal. Not sure how to fix the way i feel so i have just lived it the best i can.
