text: how do you deal with it when you feel like you never belong? i always feel like where ever i go and whoever i meet, i never fit in. how can i change this? i've had this same feeling all my life.  it used to bother me for a very long time, but i tend to be one who marches to the beat of his own drum.  we are all different, but sometimes some feel more differently than others.  unless someone points this out to us, then we should simply be ourselves and we'll find that we attract all kinds of people.  you and i may feel like we never belong, but no one has ever pointed that out to me - that i don't belong. perhaps we just feel inferior to others - perhaps it is our low self esteem, and maybe we just fear that we never belong.  the feelings never changed for me...i still feel differently from others - but is that truly a bad thing? i think not.  i try to be social and do things with people, and i am content and happy - that is what you should strive for - to be content and happy.  good luck!
