    I should add to this (just for clarification), that I know many people who identify with so many different religious, political and philosophical ideologies. I have friends who are Democrats as well as Republicans... Christians, as well as Atheists, and so on. And while they don't always get along well with one another, I find that I usually get along with all of them just fine... because I relate to them at a level deeper than these superficial identifications. Beneath all of that, we're not so different. By recognizing our commonalities, we find our connection.

    My mother once said this to me: "the people who are in groups, they are islands they dont connect with anyone that's not from their island. But you are the river, you are the sea and the lake that binds the islands togehter, you may stay one place sometime and then move on again, but in this way you will hold the sand and stones from those islands. This is the memory and the knowledge of water. And this sand, you leave behind on other islands so that they may grow from meeting you." I hope this helps all of you who feel that they dont belong. Much love ❤❤

      @@_utahraptor some people can be introvert and not want constant interaction too. I feel like I want to be left alone most of the time and when people want to talk to me I do like that but I prefer to be alone. I dislike how certain people attach themselves to me for the entire day and it bothers me. I'm not antisocial I just prefer my own company to that of other people sometimes. It's called being independent. The only interactions in life that I welcome are people who come with positivity but most importantly who value boundaries. As an introvert people who don't know their boundaries want your constant attention. I haven been like you too where there was a time I wanted to interact with people alot more and it has its pros and cons. When you talk to people you realize that some people are just not good and they're narcissists. So if you are a sensitive person who doesn't want their feelings messed with be wary. Some people love to play mind games and make you feel insecure out there.

      @@_utahraptor reasons you probably don't fit in come down to the fact that you are different in some way that people are not used to. If you want to get to know people or interact with people you have to extend yourself in someway to make abridge between you and other people. I think of it as acting or playing a part. For this to work you have to be in touch with your inner feelings and properly express those to others

Dogmas, expectations, future planning, titles, taboos, judgements and rules are really not something that matters to me or even thought about. I live by my heart's desire to be a part of the solution, living with the loving kindness and reverence for all life. Love, laughter, attention and intentions to do no harm. Living in the mystery of this wonderful world is a treasure to be able to do and simply being is my delightful honor. I trust in the mystery and it works for me. I don't disbelieve. Enjoyment and patience in being alive.

    Boy..... I think the universe is trying to tell me something. I’ve always been a weird person. Even when I try my best and want to be apart of a group people always shut me out. They act as if I’m invisible and often ignore me even when I’m trying my hardest to be friends with people. I guess my soul is here to learn about solitude. To Lean on the great divine of the universe. I’m blessed to have a couple of buddies that I can call my friends. But I’ve always had a struggle making friends and I’ve always ALWAYS been told about how strange I am. How intimidating I can come across. I’m not unique. I’m not saying I’m special in any way. So many of us are here together sharing our strange solitude life and that’s beautiful. Well anyways keep being you gentle soul. Namaste 💙

      I feel as thought I have been put into the box of "being weird" all too much in my life. Ive noticed that over time it wasn't that I was weird, or undesirable by people, It was because I was so confident in being myself. I was not malleable by societal views. I'm not trying toot our horn, but I feel we are the type of people that are fearlessly following what is true to us. We aren't strange, people just aim to box us away as "strange" because they cannot end up manipulating us. Sending light, love and positivity!

When someone from another group has to be dealt with they are an unknown quantity and therefore possibly dangerous to survival. If you are an individual with no affiliation to any particular group then once again you are a threat because you’re unpredictable. So in a sense it all makes sense it’s just that we are evolving beyond that point now and transitions are usually a little rocky.

Combine it with isolation and I got a wake up call when two friends contacted me thinking i had killed myself. I wish to get to a point of acceptance. For now I just need to work on myself to... I dont know. Be normal for now maybe? I feel a lot better now though. I am sick of being depressed.

      I know, as I'm sure we all do here, exactly what you mean. Although, I was just thinking the other day that this year is a massive education, the the truth is being revealed.... about everything. With this in mind, I know that anyone I do connect with in the future with be amazing and flow with ease in conversation and energy. This is because it is becoming more and more obvious who we will and won't connect with on a soul level, a consiousness level, a vibrational level. This will make it easier for us to find each other and will be even more genuine and authentic, because it is rare. Let those people disappear and go, keep going, it's making room for better connections in the future. In the difficult times, remember to self nurture, speak compassionately to yourself, be kind to yourself and remember, it will pass. Trust yourself and your journey. Cut yourself some slack and congratulate yourself for getting through this year. Autumn is a perfect time to let go of what we don't need, like the trees losing their leaves in a beautiful colourful display with such grace. They show us with beauty the art of letting go. Autumn is also harvest time where we reap the fruits of all the hard work we have done through the year and celebrate. Keep going, stay on your path and be your authentic self. The great thing is...we don't need lots of people in our lives, one or two is fine, as long as the connection is there. This year I'm flipping everything on it's head and finding the advantages of the challenges we are surrounded with.

Acquaintances but l am the oddball, out cast and the loner. I don't make concessions on my spirit or my truth to fit in. Loving kindness is the only thing that matters in my opinion. Living in a reverence of the universe and the magic of beauty and blessings that are always present. Each moment is a treasure and a gift from spirit. Staying in touch with my unique perspective and understanding that we are all together in the mystery of our relationship with our world. I feel content with my reclusive and solitary life. Laughter, love, compassion, joy, passion, peace and the magic of life unfolding in each precious moment. No judgment, regrets or needs to do it for the purpose of fitting in to a group.

    When I was 16 years old, an elderly school teacher I had at the time told me that of the thousands of kids he had encountered in his teaching career, I was the only one which he couldn't figure-out and was totally baffled by - I have worn that compliment as a badge of honor since.

    Once one identifies with a label, group or ideology, they stop caring about the truth. After such an identification, they only care about what interpretation of the truth benefits their group, or chosen label etc. As you say, at the end of the day we all are beautifully complex human beings, and it's the abstract labels we use to divide ourselves which has to go, not any particular person in power. In any case, thank you for this video it is quite refreshing to see someone with such a perspective....

      What if you identify only partially with a label, enough to use it but not be totally blinded by it. To me some labels fit better than others but that doesn't mean I don't realize that every label is only a partial truth and cannot be swallowed whole.

    There is a difference between solitude and loneliness. In solitude we have the opportunity for the most growth, those that travel alone travel furthest. The sense of not belonging inspires the search for our “True home”. I always felt that not belonging to this crazy world was a good thing. Detachment from this reality is a sign spiritual maturity.

      I appreciate your comment and can relate to it in many ways. At the same time, I think that those of us who are lonely often slip into this 'oh, I'm alone because I am different, different means somehow more intelligent/superior' mindset, and if we aren't careful we can end up telling ourselves that we are alone because we are better than others, which is not objectively true.

      Angels have communities. Every angel belongs to a community. Still, the best of the angels live separate from their communities. They live alone with their wives or husbands. Yes, they are married, but there is no formality, they meet, they choose each other, they live forever half in each other, but they have their homes in secluded areas away from the others. All angels were once human. The purpose of life is to produce angels.

    This is deeply relevant for me. My motto is “Be in the world, not of it.”
    Every once in a while, I will join a community and adopt its ideology for a while as a kind of practice. It always feels good at first, to kind of have a firm identity and “belong” but inevitably I can’t help but to see the dogmatic underpinnings of most groups and will run back to Nature, my real tribe.

I know it’s not that I’m “different” but I’m more comfortable with being my authentic self, and those people are not... I like being at home or out in nature, away from people, because honestly I have felt more disappointment than joy from this strangers. I’m nice to everyone until they give me a reason not to be, but yes at this point I like to be in my own presence and not waste any of my precious energy on negativity.

    • @daniel4647
      @daniel4647 3 года назад +9

      It's not just by design, it's natural. Sure, some people exploit it, but they're just exploiting something that was already there. Humans are biological machines running a program we call an ego structure. The ego structure is constantly trying to make itself "real", and it can only do that trough having an "other" validate it. Be it trough acceptance or conflict it's made "real" by the "other". This is a fundamental process of nature and is the source of all duality and "separateness". Existence could not be existence without non-existence. Before something exists it's only the possibility of existing, not actually existing. In order to exist it must be separate from non-existence, it must be more than one, at minimum two. When there is two one can validate the existence of the other making them both "real". The ego structure works on this mechanism, so it will always seek out ways where is can be different/separate from others, it is its function and this leads to concepts such as "I" and "you" and "us" and "them". This takes place everywhere in nature, even in non living material, and it's why there is a nearly infinite combination of things. Hate to tell you this, but you might as well make peace with that humans will always be at "war", even if we all come together as one we'll still separate ourselves from other things that we'll see as "not of us". Only way this will ever stop is if we become Borg and consume the entire universe making it back into one thing and with it end existence.

We all still have instincts from our ancestors in our DNA. Most people who seem happy really aren't they just pretend to be. We were meant to be with nature not destroying it so we can get more then we need to survive. We aren't meant to be around thousands of people everyday but are meant to be around a small "village" and we are all meant to play an important role in that village. Humans have become unnatural and aren't living in habitats that support what they are. Humans have become the fish out of water trying to swim in a concrete sea all while trying to out swim the other fish next to them, but neither of them go anywhere.

      @herculesmclovin 3 года назад +3

      Hi 😊
      Okay so I've felt this way *all* my life, especially after maturity from being a teenager. How I also describe it is that I am a robot and I've self-programmed (well, tried) to match the world. The world feels like I'm not supposed to be in it and everything I do and say has been something I have learnt, so that I fit in. Including learning feelings and how to react to emotional situations. Underneath the robot that everyone has come to understand, is what I can only describe as a solid ball of tangled mess, which is hard to connect with on a conscious level and was once unavailable. I think, you are currently unavailable.
      I had a breakdown then break-through about a year ago now, so want to briefly explain what I've come to see... Because if we, "robots" on your comment thread are the same... Then it may be beneficial!
      So, my understanding has been this... My childhood was traumatic = I learnt to hide who I was to save having to feel, out of fear of rejection, non-love and pain = I then sealed up tightly my experiences into a, "solid ball of tangled mess" and removed any conscious attachment to it, wiping it from my memory = so, here I am now rediscovering my childhood and slowing tapping into my true self.
      Believe me it is truly hard. But it is so worth it. Now when I laugh, I feel it, when I cry, I actually feel it. It's hard but the more you let yourself feel the better you get at controlling/magaging real feelings. Basically, You grow emotional intelligence.
      Slowly, my robot-self is less of a necessity to use, atm I'm about 80% of the time robot, but I'm hopeful now that I understand my purpose... It's all inside us: the answer. Comfort, fitting in and satisfaction does not come externally... All the answers lie in being true with who we are and opening up that mess in whatever way works 🙏

      Introversion. I bet you can talk for hours about things that are spiritually important and meaningful to you. Campfire discussions. The meaning of life. Not being able to go on and on about someones on and off relationship, new wheels, or how these pants look is a blessing. (Just random examples)

    I seem to always end up in leadership positions without seeking those places. I always sit back and watch. When asked whether I can do a certain thing, I tend to under-sell and over-deliver. There’s nothing out there that I cannot accomplish, except fitting into societal norms. This is a great video, brother. Well done on all levels. Thank you.

      I collect the forest fuel overburden to prevent fires, and make it into humus. It is a wonderful life, but I would like it better with a woman that I could love and respect. They only thing I really need is an honest helpful woman to be totally content. But still, I am so happy in my forest even all alone. I thrive on the quietness, such excellent medicine!

    Compromising intelligence is so 100% true, like the lack of intelligence shown when people are so obsessed with slapping a label on someone. It’s like this weird trendy compulsion to shoot first and ask questions later.

    Thank you RUclips algorithms for this recommendation! Divingly timed! As a toddler I felt like I was dropped off on the wrong planet and knew there was something fundamentally wrong with this world. I have never fit in anywhere, God knows I did try a few times! I'm 46 now and I am completely comfortable not fitting in anywhere and completely comfortable within myself. I am a soul on a journey of learning and everything I need is within. I love solitude, have a deep connection with nature and the cosmos and so many of my gifts require solitude - guitar, painting/art, meditation, reading, learning, researching, healing. Despite not fitting in, I am never lonely, bored and do not feel any sense of loss or separation. It took me many years of learning and lessons to reach this point and return to who I really am, which I knew in my childhood, however school, society, family, religion and indoctrination etc steered off the path of myself. I understand now that everything I experienced and learned from(in this life) has been preparing me for the times we are living in right now. What better year than this to be an individual, a hermit, an independent soul, a cosmic being, a "loner", self sufficient and so on. We are actually made for this and just by living as our authentic selves, we are giving a message to others that they can if they want to and we are communicating by example. Thank you for video, the woods look lovely. Big Love from Ireland 🇨🇮💚🙏😁.

    I’ve watched many vids like this: The enjoyment of being alone, non-conformist to society, am I a loner or just lonely ... etc etc. And what I get out of them, this one included - and by reading the comments from other like minded people - is that we are all loners that don’t ‘fit in’ because we are extremely intellectual and too deep thinking for the ‘average Joe’. The Trivialities of life - neighbourhood gossip, how many toys I have, how big my house is, how many likes I have on my Instagram pics, why are you doing that instead of doing what everyone else is doing? - these things just do not interest me, and I would say would not interest the viewers of this vid and vids like this. We are loners! Highly intelligent deep thinkers ... and we just don’t fit in because of it.

    I love everything about this video. Most of my life, I struggled to "fit in" or feel as if I "belong" somewhere. Fortunately, I've gained wisdom and have let go of this need. I was talking to a very close friend of mine and told her that I can count on one hand how many people I would consider True, Genuine friends. I've been told that if we even make 1 quality friend in life, that's a success. It's all about Quality, not quantity. That's why I have to chuckle when I see people on social media proudly showing off their hundreds-thousand of "friends". Less is more. Much Love ❤️.
