belonging

[wishfoot88]

anyone ever had that feeling where you don't belong somewhere?
there have been times when i have seen pictures of my mates and they all seem to be having a great time, but when i go to something like this, it just doesn't feel right. it's like i shouldn't be there.
anyone know what i mean?

Yeah, but I leave. If I feel I shouldn't be somewhere, I respectfully say just that, and leave.

Sure, just about every day of my life!

I don't do any drugs (never have), so I don't fit in with any buddies who like to smoke pot and/or watch high-on movies. I don't drink often, so I don't like to get drunk every weekend, so I don't fit in with my friends when they like to do that. I've never had one night stands, so I don't fit in with that crowd.

It's just something that we all feel to some degree I guess and we all deal with it in our own ways.

How are they your friends?

I think I know what you mean. We've all been there I suppose.

Everybody is more comfortable in certain situations as opposed to others.

For me it's being uncomfortable in big crowds (like clubs... ugh)

When in such situations you either have to suck it up and try your best to enjoy yourself or excuse yourself and go solo.

And if you stay, try not to stand out like a sore thumb...

...or get really wasted, because that usually helps.

When I 1st started going out to bars and clubs with my friends I was super uncomfortable and felt totally out of place. It was a combination of being the yonngest, and not familiar with the bar thing, and insecure. But honestly, I just kept going and kept going and now I feel totally fine pushing my way up to the bar for a drink and fielding bad pick-up lines from drunken guys sticking their tongue in my ear (*gag*) So my advice? Keep going - you'll get used to it.

And yeah, drinking helps LOL
