Feeling like I do not belong in this world
The story
I am 40. I never had dreams of being anything. I am extremely introverted. I only feel good when I am in nature alone. Most of the time I feel scared. I can feel tension in my body. A pain I can not understand. I like people but not for a long time. I am always afraid of the future. Anticipation anxiety is very prominent in my dna. I do not care about work, a big house or stuff at all. Never have. Of course I like to have basic things and safety. I feel I do not belong in this world, country or this modern age. Have other people had this feeling?

Wow, it sounds like you’re really in tune with yourself and aware of what makes you feel comfortable or anxious. You know, sometimes it feels like society is pushing us to want certain things, but if those aren’t your priorities, that’s totally valid too. Some people find a lot of peace and meaning in simple things and being connected to nature. It's okay to not fit the mold!
dude, i totally get the whole feeling out of place thing. being 40 and not having dreams doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. everybody's wired differently. have you considered maybe finding a local group or an online community where people share similar interests? sometimes connecting with like-minded folks can ease that sense of not belonging and give you a different perspective on things. do you think part of this tension could be from societal pressures, even if you're not really into what society pushes? 🤔
