Yes...but it nearly a perpetual thing with me, and in my case I know where it comes from (being raised in a family where the parents were messed up, violent, abusive, neglectful, etc.). I can remember being nine or ten years old and really thinking "aw no, you mean I'm human like *these people*??"
So yeah, the thought is perpetual, the only thing that changes about this "not belonging" thing is the scale and depth of it. On my good days I can accept "not belonging" to all the crap that was in my life--most of my family, organized religion, mainstream politics, team sports, being "one of the guys".
But on my bad days I really think I have no home, no country, no family, no friends....nothing and nobody works right and so I don't even feel like I belong *on this earth*.
Truth is though. Most of my days are in between. Not good days, not bad days, just.....days. -_-
But even that stinks....it happens too often, where I *KNOW* for a fact that other people do not live this way.
And yes, I still fight it, but lately, I do wonder just *what* it is I am fighting for?
Love? Not sure it exists. Peace? Ditto.
Just saying....thanks for your time! Hope I wasn't too annoying.

Yeah...
As an Asian in Australia with Aussie ppl, I feel like that sometimes during a few social occasions...
As a guy who is intellectual and does'nt play much sports, I've felt isolated when I see my friends playing soccer, tennis or cricket...
As a very shy, introverted and quiet guy, in many social events I feel out of place...
As an intellectual who knows a lot, I feel detached from lots of ppl because ppl don't understand my thought processes...
So in response to your question, YES!

Everybody belongs somewhere. You just have to know where you do.
