Sometimes I wish this was the wrong planet... there are times where humanity just does things that truly sickens me, and I really don't want to be a part of it. Heck I don't feel like a part of it, but as has already been said, that's probably more down to the effects of living with autism in a world designed for a different neurology.

I'm not a spiritual person - I don't feel spiritually anything, beyond the fact that I don't think my physical self properly represents my mental self. By all means, I'm open to spiritual thinking, as long as it doesn't contradict with science and logic. I just don't feel myself drawn to spiritual answers.

So is this the wrong planet? In some ways yes, in some ways no. I feel I'd be better off in another place (provided such a place exists somewhere out there), but I don't think I'm on this world by accident or through some sort of voodoo or whatever. I'm here as a result of history. Now where I will go after my life here ends... that is the true mystery.

I like what you said. I would like to continue this in private if you wish. Just PM me if you're interested.

Depends on what you want to discuss about it. I never really had a whole discussion in mind when I made my post - was just a few spur-of-the-moment thoughts. Starting PM conversations kinda sets off my anxiety as well, hence the hesitance.

I sometimes feel like this world is The Matrix.

Something for me has always just felt...'wrong' with the world.

I find the world is far too organized and rigid.

Yes, we have different cultures and such, and yeah, plenty of nations are at war right now.

I can't really describe how I feel, but I feel the world has this 'flow' to it, that I just can't believe is humanly natural or possible.

It feels like this 'flow', this 'natural balance', natural 'harmony' and 'equilibrium' is unrealistic to the point it could only be achievable through computer programming/coding.

There's no other way I can think to describe this, so if you're not sure what I'm getting at, I can't really say more than that.

This doesn't mean I'm 'special' or anything. I'm just a normal person and am likely just a 'Sim' myself.

Besides, it's not like the 'Matrix' theory is anything new.

1.) It's not a conversation per se. Just a 'verbal' exploration and no seeking of anything other than an exchange of ideas. We would not be speaking, but verbal is the only word I could come up with. Would just be PM.
2.) Only wanted to go PM because it's a volatile subject and I would not want simple questions taken into too many directions by greatly conflicting views.
3.) More of a question thing too....For instance, not a big fan of religion because of the way it's perverted. Spirituality is just something I like to explore, without dogma of any kind.

Always free to tell me to not bother you. You don't have to reply at all. I never expect a reply.

We're on the Right Planet--but, sometimes, we encounter the wrong people.

I don't feel like I belong on another planet, so much as I feel like belong in another society. It's not so much the world, that I live in that's the problem, as it has more to do with the people that live here.

Spirituality is religion without commandments.

I don't rule out possibilities that science can't disprove (life on other planets, reincarnation, etc.) - but in terms of my own spirituality I feel a strong connection to Earth, and my human ancestors. If anything, I feel out of place in modern society, and yearn for a time when life was simpler. (Not necessarily easier, but simpler!)

Yep, totally agree with this, modern day life makes me feel more alienated than I do naturally, but as for being alien to this world then I can happily state that my life is firmly planted in reality...

Maybe.

My knowledge as a human is very restricted. I don't know much, so I can't really say what is and what isn't beyond my own experience. I can't be 100% sure I won't go somewhere after I die. I can't be sure I wasn't somewhere else before I was born.

I guide myself using the logic I know, but also try to keep an open mind regarding things that are still 'hidden' from our knowledge.

I don't know about literally the wrong planet but I can't count the number of times I have told people that I think I was born during the wrong time period. I would prefer a simpler time with less distraction. Life is just too complicated.

If The Doctor were to show up he could take me back to a simpler time and leave me there.

Saying you’re on the wrong planet is tantamount to saying the right thing would be for you to be dead.

What Riik said.
and what Outrider said.
and everybody else.
Like a splinter in my mind.
But yes, I can relate to the feeling of being on the wrong planet.
Still waiting for the mother ship to return.

Except, you know, you wouldn't survive there, which was my point.

Under what assumption do you assume that someone wouldn't survive elsewhere?

I agree. It's also very bothersome if the wrong people are in your family.

I feel that way too. Sometimes I do say I feel like an alien but I think it is because I'm just different. Even so, I wonder about the The Matrix idea too. I do believe that there is a huge elite in the world that influences things, much like some of the New World Order theories out there. I think a lot of it is overblown, but I do believe there is enough truth there where I'm sure there is a consensus of ultra powerful people who do move and shake things. I don't spend every waking minute on these theories but I often wonder.
