I suprised myself by realizing that I feel like I belong both at home and at work. Okay, the ‘at home’ thing isn’t impressive because I live alone, but I slot in neatly at work and pretty much always have. This is probably because I do belong at work - they pay me to be there, and the thing they pay me to do is what I belong doing. If any discussions start happening which I would be outsider to, I just don’t join in.
I don’t feel like I belong at my parents house anymore, but I did when I lived there. Or more specifically, I had a bedroom that was my own space and I belonged there, and I belonged at my space at the dinner table, and my coat had a hook it belonged on, and so on. My space was mine.
That’s about it, though. I don’t feel like I belong anyplace I merely visit, even if I’m invited and am friends with everyone there. And if course it’s worse if I’m not friends with everyone there.
And of course I don’t belong here or on any other internet forum. Though to be fair, I barely feel like I’m “here” at all.
