When people say that they "feel different" to other people..

Post Reply New Topic

What helped me most was working over 10 years in customer service. You learn very quickly what is and isn't okay to say. Nowadays I behave as if I am representing a company.

I feel I don't always fit in here though. Well I do regarding emotions but not regarding interests or background. Usually when I make a thread about an interest of mine it goes unnoticed and gets no responses. Also it seems that a majority of people here weren't diagnosed in childhood like I was, even people of my age and younger. And it seems that the majority of people here were brought up in abusive families, which is another thing I can't relate to because I was brought up in a loving and supportive family.

Really good question, as it's impossible to ascertain how in general others feel.

I used to think (still do sometimes) that I was born into the wrong era. I would take a guess that there are many others who feel the same, as technology / human society has evolved a lot very quickly, whereas the human species itself has probably not.

I relate to a lot of this. I always felt like an outsider who couldn't understand or relate to others & others couldn't undeerstand or relate to me. I feel like I'm from an alternate universe & some words & actions can have very different meanings. It seems to me like most people have goals & dreams in life but I never really did. I just wanted to be done with school till I quit being forced to go after graduating high-school. Only real dreams I had were being in a serious long term relationship which I'm very thankfully am. I was a very hard worker when I was working but I always been a major slacker with life & at home. I guess stoners can relate a bit to that but I never 1ce smoked pot, did any illegal drugs, or gotten drunk in my life thou some people thought I was a stoner & I had major issues with my 1st girlfriend being one. People cant figure me out & different people can have very different & even opposite opinions & impressions of me. I would think that I have multiple personality disorder but I'm generally the same person who doesn't change a whole lot & some people with controdictory opions of me known me in the same envionment at the same time.

Same tbh.
