I Don T Belong Anywhere

What is it called when you feel like you don’t belong?

Estrangement is the feeling that you don’t belong, especially when you’re surrounded by other people. If you’ve ever had to sit by yourself in a school cafeteria, you know what estrangement feels like.

Why do I have no sense of belonging?

Depression, anxiety and suicide are common mental health conditions associated with lacking a sense of belonging. These conditions can lead to social behaviors that interfere with a person’s ability to connect to others, creating a cycle of events that further weakens a sense of belonging.
