Not sure if i can explain this one correctly but... all through my life i have felt like an outsider. I would love to hear if others feel like this and how they interpret it.

yes i often feel this way.as i go further into my journey of life i discover how diferent everyone is to everyone else and it s not a matter of accepting them but more excepting that fact and once you do that you realise you are actually just another person who is also very different,maybe more varied and wider scoped.i do often wonder why i have been drawn down the path of being gay as logicaly there are 2 sexes,man and woman,they are physically made to procreate(amaongst many other things)i do often wonder why i do not pursue this naturally born ability but go with my physical instincts andinner desires and thoughts which is to be with another woman but i do wonder if there is something that has strayed mentally within me to lead me down this path.i do love women,i do feel natural and relaxed living with women and i think it is where i should be.somedays i feel great,even creative and every word that comes out of my mouth is heard by others around me and is enjoyed and praised for its outside the box thinking and then there are other days absolutely everyone i talk to on that day will look at me all day like,what is she talking about and i feel im talking another language and that i have accidently beamed down on to the wrong planet by my mothership and im a long way from home with no rescue in sight.hope this helps you not feel so not fitting somehow.good luck

even as i became in intense college I felt that way and became slightly indignant and did not understand why. Now that i'm a touch older, i'm high-quality feeling i do not somewhat fit into society. The mentality of most of human beings interior the U.S. i'll't relate to, and that i became born and raised interior the U.S. I function in society because interior the top, once you're an individual, you should, yet i love to go back and forth and that is what retains me sane. I have many acquaintances from diverse elements of the international who immigrated to the united statesand that i respect spending time getting to understand about others cultures. you'd be ok newborn. you're destined for excellent issues!

Almost constantly, from the age of 5.
No LGBT connection, though. I finally pinned things down three years ago, from one end by reading Colin Wilson's book "The Outsider" which delivered some telling observations. (And the outsider is often the best observer of society) and from another by obtaining a diagnosis, at the age of 48, of Asperger's syndrome.
Yes, I definitely am not on society's natural wavelength.
But at least I have, at long last, a better idea why.

Sure - bu then I've chosen to embrace it and make it my life. For every time you don't fit into mainstream society where you live, you will find a whole new subculture that shares your interests.
I'd much rather hang out with people who think and act like me, than those who think money is the end all be all of their existence, or who think so shalowly they cannot see any deeper than the clothes you wear, or what your job is, or what part of the country you live in.

I am most definitly an outsider, but i don't consider this a bad thing actually i embrace it just because i know if whatever the rest of the world is doing doesn't work out for them then perhaps i'll be okay in the end just because i'm different. If that makes any sense at all.

I've been feeling like that all my life, too. I don't mind it, because I like who I am. But I am also afraid of society, and that it might try to make me do things I don't believe in, or force me to behave in ways that are alien to me.
I have only one explanation for it.
I have been observing society all my life and decided that there are too many things wrong with it for me to be able to side with it comfortably. So I stay outside, enjoying the... fresh air, maybe?

for years i thought i was the only one how had feelings the way i did
and it was only when i got onto the internet i found i was not a lone ther are any others like me in the world
yet we are fighting to fit into society and moulding our way into it
remember you are not alone even if you fel that way some times
i have found in the past i could be in a room talking and i feel like i could be on the other side of the planet or like i am alone

Every day of my life. But, I am not sure how much it has to do with me being gay.
I am not fond of people in general, so perhaps I don't feel I fit in because I am always waiting and watching for people to harm me in some way. I am too guarded to "fit in".

Every second of every day, but I don't worry about it. I enjoy being me and if that doesn't fit in the narrow-minded society in which I live then I don't really care.

Yes. I think it's normal for there to be people not 'normal.' Not everybody is going to be normal. Deviation is expected when it comes to any population. Normal applies to 80 percent, 85 percent tops of the population. There will always be the outliers.
