Just wait til' I see all the negative feedback that comes in on this topic.

Now I KNOW we're all on the same planet, but maybe you guys in here have something different that a lot of people don't have.

I'm guessing it's called having an open mind, most people of which don't really have.  I even mention the idea of writing down your dreams to most people and they are like "lol wtf why?".  I wouldn't even dream (haha... bad pun) of trying to tell them about obes.

That's the closest to how I feel!  
The thing is, trying to explain OBE's to the standard human being, to me, is like trying to live in the everyday life.
Everything I do or say makes them cock one eyebrow at me.

There are plenty of theories of other beings inhabiting human's bodies. The one i've heard most often is that alot, if not all of us, are aliens who chose to be here to learn and to help the human race.
Now i'm not saying any of these theories are true, but i just thought i'd bring it up.

I sometimes feel a little different than others i know. It's not that i don't belong here, it's that i'm actually thinking about why i am here. It seems that lately i've awakened to an unknown force within me that tells me that i'm here for a reason or something. I can't really explain it, but i think i know where you're coming from anyway.

Who knows, maybe you are in the wrong place, or maybe you chose to be here, or maybe it's something else. That's something you could try and find out i guess [][]

Apparently, this is a very common feeling for adolescents.  Must be the hormones...

[glowsoftly]

Yeah...I know what you mean....I've had that feeling before too...odd feeling indeed. I eventually came to think...well I'm here now...so might as well make the most of it and enjoy myself.

I feel like I live in a completely different world to most people, I/we probaly do. We all have the right to be here and be who we want or choose to be.

Takes along time to love and accept people for who they are,without wanting to change them, something you probaly have to practice for life times. Still learning that one myself.

This post reminds me of the matrix...

"Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad."

[Blackstream]

A good point was brought up.  I know I myself often feel quite detattched from the world, and that my step brother has sworn up and down that he has to be an alien, and my sister, and other people.

We should all check in 20 years and see if we still feel that way:p

It's not hormones or adolescence, bubs.
What I've felt is something that I've felt since I was old enough to think or talk.  I've had various happenings where I feel as if I am one thing, and the rest of my surroundings are another.
Why do I feel the need for metaphysics, and all of this other stuff?
I'm sixteen.  I should be out with the rest of the kiddies playing basketball, and scamming chicks like they all do.  Why aren't I?
People I'm around must sense this thing in me that totally turns them away from me.  This is almost like something that would keep someone from wanting to enter a neon-pink room.  There's just something about it that drives them away, and says " no, bad news, stay away. ".
My way of speaking, my intelligence ( however much of that I have ), and my way of acting altogether is so odd for other people that they don't know how to handle it.  If it were my choice, I would be one with every person that walked.  The thing is, it's just not possible.  Most of the people I meet, I notice their less visible features from square-one.  Some people, I can see boastfulness, confusion, ADOLESCENCE (crystalinity), and a need for love.  
I notice a lot of these things.  I know that sometimes I'm wrong, but I've spent most of my life just observing people.  Instead of communicating, everyone I've ever been around has been somewhat of a piece of work for me to look at.  I know I got a little off topic, but that just helps me explain how I feel that much better.  

Glowsoftly's remark is an excellent example of how I feel.  For some reason, I feel like I have some sort of instinctual sense that nobody else I've ever met has.  I have this feeling of awareness.  A lot of things that nobody else is concerned with, I find myself noticing.  I'm not saying I'm any better than ANYONE else, and I'm not putting anyone else at a lesser level than myself.  It's just that most of the time, I feel like a strawberry, sitting in a crate of grapes.

I just know I am going to be flamed for this one..but here goes...I will be 37yr next month.  When I was younger..yes alot younger [] I never hung out with other kids, infact I was friends with adults more than the kids my age.  I was into all the weird stuff of course. (but that could have been because of my Dad, whom is a reluctant medium)
The thing is, I never felt I was different.  When I read your posts it seems you WANT to be special, and looked up to...that isn't bad, until the ego takes over.  And believe meeeeeeeee...hormones can make you think and act different than you normally would.  My second set of hormones have been kicking in for a year now and sheesh, it sucks how you feel out of sorts, but in a few days all is right with the world again.[]

Blackstream made a good point...check back in 20yrs and see how you feel then, my bet is you are going to say, "oh, goodness...did I really say those things?"

Nay []

Life_afterdeath: Does anyone else feel like they just sort of ended up in the wrong world? The wrong planet, even? Everyone you meet is so different from you. Not just a "little" different, but DRAMATICALLY different.

YES!!!

They're all rediculous, and most of all, they're all the same.

Compared to us, they are very similar. I dont like most of them.

Some of the things I say, they don't grasp at all. They hear the words pour from my mouth, and they think to themselves " what the hell is he talking about?"

They arent inclined to think about the paranormal, hypothetical, and weird things we think about, so they dont know enough to understand what we say.

I'm angry because in full truth, I don't think I'm in the right place at all. Is this possible? Is there such a thing as ending up in the wrong universe, or world for that matter?
Did the wrong soul go to the wrong body?

If you've been human before, and you werent forced to be here, you probably intended to come here again. If this is your first time (order is confusing with nonlinear time!), you could have made a mistake. You didnt know what it was like to be human before you tried it, and if you dont like it, you dont have to stay. I'm tempted to leave sometimes.

Are you talking about suicide here or a differen't way of leaving?

[shorty]

Hi everyone! Here's my two sense. A web site with information is ascension2000.com. It's a good read even if you don't believe what the author is claiming. There is an e-book called, "Wanderer Awakening, Edgar Case Returns." There are also some free texts on science and the nature of the universe that are quite unique. I hope it hellps.

Hi L.A.

It would probably be fair to say that most of us here who are looking into the possibility of worlds that exist outside of our own, most likely feel this way.

I frequently get little snippets of visions of another world - another time. These can be brought on by a feeling, or more usually something I see as I'm driving somewhere. I don't know that I'm not supposed to be here, there's most likely a very good reason that I am, but nonetheless,  at times I feel like this is not my world - I'm just a visitor here.

Important thing is to be mindful of the fact that for whatever reason, we ARE here, there's not a great deal we can do about it, and we might as well make the best of the situation we're in now. After all, we're not here for long.

Regards,
James.

Sometimes thoughts come into my head, sort of like a deja-vu feeling, but see, these thoughts don't make sense to me.  It's like they're in a different language or something.  They're only there for about 3 seconds.  As I think about them for that 3 seconds, I'm like " WAIT! I know this thought...it's so familliar " and after the 3 seconds, it's like something is drowning it out so I won't find some sort of truth.
It hasn't happened for a while but it did a lot when I was in my early puberty.

I don't care to be looked up to or to have attention, I'd just like to live in harmony with other human beings, and enjoy my time here, rather than dwell over it, knowing how odd I am compared to them, and how they make it so apparent.

[quetzalcoatl]

I felt almost exactly the same way you do when I was growing up.  I was also interested in metaphysics occultism and all of the stuff on this website.  Even when I was 4 or 5 I felt really different.  If I can offer any advice it would be to learn to really appreciate who you are.  I know it sounds corny but I think your frustration is due to the fact that you want to be a part of the gang but the gang is retarded.  If you can accept and love yourself you wont be angry at others for not accepting or, more likely, understanding you.  Self understanding isn't just something for fat people on Oprah; it's also the gateway to spirituality.  (Even if your a total butt, accept that)  At the most basic level, you don't owe anything except to yourself.  

Eventually, the people you find boring and one dimensional now will become good friends and/or sources of entertainment.  Perhaps you will marry a complete lamer because that's what you need to balance out your eccentricities.  One thing is for certain.  A person's most basic emotional need is for love and acceptance.  If they can't get that no happiness can follow.  

So anyway, do whats right for you and try to appreciate the  normal people for their own uniqueness.  Also keep in mind, conformity is extremely important for the socialization of adolescents.  You wont see peoples freaky side until they are  a little older and brave enough to express it.  
     

 

[chicnstu]

I feel the same way.

I consider leaving this world everyday by suicide or either astral projecting and staying there forever and just create my own friends in the astral world who will like me.

[volcomstone]

I like to think that Im rather social and have an easy time making friends,

however, I know there is something wrong with this planet, and we all need to chip in to help

pure thoughts and intentions probally the only way, I wanna become a siddha and heal the world

[Life_afterdeath]

Does anyone else feel like they just sort of ended up in the wrong world?  The wrong planet, even?  Everyone you meet is so different from you.  Not just a "little" different, but DRAMATICALLY different.  They're about as one sided as the very floor on which you stand.  They can't abstractly think if it were to save their own *ss.
They're all rediculous, and most of all, they're all the same.  Internally identical.  On the outside, they have all different shapes and sizes.  The way people look at me when I talk to them.  Some of the things I say, they don't grasp at all.  They hear the words pour from my mouth, and they think to themselves " what the hell is he talking about? "
This isn't concerning my own bickering and whining, but I will tell you I'm a little angry.  I'm angry because in full truth, I don't think I'm in the right place at all.  Is this possible?  Is there such a thing as ending up in the wrong universe, or world for that matter?
Did the wrong soul go to the wrong body?
Everyone in my family is one way, and BAM, I'm another.  Sort of like a wildcard or something.  Who knows.  Could someone please give me some links on sites that have an explaination on how it's possible to just be in the "wrong place" ?

note : When I say wrong place, I do not mean the AP forum!  I like it here!  Everyone here is fine with me.  Now I KNOW we're all on the same planet, but maybe you guys in here have something different that a lot of people don't have.
