I feel so different from others

[k_rage]

I am a woman, and one of the biggest reasons why I feel like I never will fit in, is because I feel like i'm not like alot of other normal women. When I say normal, I mean that the way the average women talks, dresses, etc., even though I know not all women are the same. I never really fit in anywhere in my life, and why would I now at 30 years old? If anything, i'm more strange in social situations because of being so alone for so long.

Finally there's someone who sounds like me! I always feel like some kind of freak because I am so different from all the other women I know. For instance, I am not obsessed with fashion, shopping, gossiping, all the other stuff that women are supposed to be interested in. I am also "just" a housewife, which seems to be a crime here in Germany. I'm not good at things women are supposed to be good at, like decorating, networking with other mothers in my son's school, even my handwriting is not pretty. I, too, have always felt that I never fit in anywhere. I don't even try to socialize anymore, because I feel that people will just look down on me and reject me anyway.

I often feel different from women, people in general, and people my age (16). I don't think like others. I also don't care about fashion and gossip and all that. I am very proud of myself for thinking/being different. I feel that I am smarter and 'better' than a lot of people. Of course, not to sound conceited. People my age can't seem to comprehend anything and can't talk, spell, or read correctly. :roll:

Seems like many of us are so similar in our differency (or feeling of it).

Thanks goldie.

Haha, there I was saying that people my age can't spell right and I made a spelling error. Oh well.


I guess a lot of us are similar in our feeling of differency. :wink:

Yes, I feel very different from most people (my own age especially) too.

I'm not into gossip and fashion or shopping lol... So I'm not a stereotypical girl.

But even with that asside, I still feel very different to most people. But then, I don't really care, because I can't stand the way most people are. I like the fact I'm not like them.

But what is better, is knowing that not everyone is like most people lol... My best friend is NOTHING like most people. Different in every possible way, and that's what makes him great!

And that's what makes people that are different to the majority great too.

I too feel very different from other women my age (33). I don't have a network of friends or go to 'dinner parties' or parties in general. I do feel like an outcast. I keep to myself and the only ppl that I know are ppl that I work with. I was fairly close with a couple of women that worked there but one had twins and left work and now has moved to another city. Another got a job elsewhere as she was bored and now she is pregnant also. But I didn't really see them much outside of work anyway. People around me are either getting married, having relationships, getting new jobs (either internally or externally), going out every weekend etc....but not me. I have been stagnating for years so I am selling my house and moving to the UK with my mum. Scary but exciting. I don't even care if I have the same life that I have here, work, home, work, home. But just being in a different environment and also being able to travel around the UK on weekends will make my life a little bit better.
I feel stunted and a bit of a social retard but maybe doing this will give me opportunities that I may not have been exposed to if I just stayed put.
So don't feel like you are the only one who feels like you do. You are not some kind of alien from outer space. So hopefully you can take comfort from this knowledge.

I think a nice thing to do would be to block those thoughts and visualize yourself as normal, socializing with others, etc. If you do that everyday it will leave a change

hey snap except I'm male. I'm really quite different to other guys my age, or indeed guys in general. In a way, it is good to be different and to not chastize(sp?) myself for being different, though in a way I sometimes just prefer it if I just fitted in.

your not like most people? F***ING GREAT!, seriously though look at 'most people', you dont want to be 'most people', a girl that isnt interested in fashion, gossip, having fancy handwriting, social networking, trust me on this thats NOT a bad thing.
