Does anybody feel invaded by society, socially accepted but silently alone and outcast?

Question

Without knowing anything about me this may prove difficult to answer. If you have examples to relate to, I may acheive a greater understanding.

Answer 1

You just wrote the story of every ones life, because of what life throws at us we all feel invaded by society at some time, lots of us are very socially accepted but may as well be in the room on our own, at times we are even treat like an outcast by the ones we know and love, its just life, some people get used to it and others are hurt deeply by it, but like everything in life you have to have the rain as well as the sun to make rainbows.

Answer 2

I think most of us are alone, or have only very few people we would consider really really close.

Humans have lives millions of years in tribes, small groups where individuals depended on each other for survival. We evolved to be that way.

Then when the industrial revolution happened and sped up the process of urbanisation, the definition of our 'society' enlarged rapidly, must faster than what we had evolved for. Nowadays, we 'belong' to a group at work, may be to a neighbourhood group, another in some leisure activities we might partake in, but in the end we are alone, or have very few people really close to us.

For example, at work I have to interact with quite a few people, but I am glad to be away from them when I am at home, having a drink, or at a pub. At the pub I tend to 'know' some people but not that well. I am forced to 'belong' to a group (at work), but in fact I feel that I am not part of the group, I'm by myself. And that suits me just fine.

I would think that many people have similar experiences.
For example, how many of your ex-colleagues do you keep in touch with, say a year or two after you have left the job? Or how many ex-neighbours do you still visits, a year or two after leaving the neighbourhood?

Well, i think everyone does from time to time. When we have problems and not the right people around us to share with. That's when this could happen. Say like if you are young and one of your parents die. The other children in your class would have no idea how that feels. A normal friendly child then becomes alone and a stranger, and it's no fault of their own.

The answer to your problem is to live in an igloo - eskimoes are very nice people - friendly and you'll find it's very warm in an igloo and you'll get to wear all that fur they use - eat plenty of fish - and I hear there is a fair amount of rumpy pumpy as well - you'll feel much better - you'll be so busy surviving in that cold and depending on your fellow eskimo - you won't have time to feel threatened by anyting but the bloody cold - other than that you could always taken an extra strength packet of Ibuprofen in one go !

Answer 5

yes everyone does.
We try to communicate with one another, this is one form, but rarely feel we have found any connection or understanding.
It does happen, so keep communicating.... in all forms. On the net, by phone, in person.
Build a connection by speaking and most of all listening.
An amazing thing will happen, its called LIFE !!

Answer 6

Many, I can tell you. In boys it's called the angry young man syndrome. If your parents are sensitive then they will leave you alone to work things out. It is supposed to go away at around age 25.
