Moment when you feel you might not be human

[DallasApple]

I generally don't feel very human, and my friends tell me I don't act human, so I guess I'm officially weird.

Well I think you act human.Being weird has nothing to do with it.Besides who gets to decide what "weird " is?I think all people are pretty weird by the way.Some are more obvious than others.

Besides who gets to decide what "weird " is?

My formal answer would be: statisticians.

My formal answer would be: statisticians.

Yup, not human.

One of my best friends, the one i mentioned in another thread to be the guy who danced the worst, is officially proclaimed by the rest of us to be a robot. The reasons for that are way too many. But it all began that very day when he did the military march dance i mentioned there, and then further supported by other things. For example, when he tries to whistle, he makes a certain kind of sound that can only be produced from metal.

Sometimes when i'm talking to him on the phone, i'd hear all sorts of weird noises, like his wires got all messed up or something. Yesterday, we were talking on the phone pondering about whether or not we should go out, as it was nearing the time of curfew. Then he started to make all those noises, and it were too much i could hardly hear him. So i yelled at him and told him that it's becoming too obvious, that he should try harder at pretending not to be a robot and then i hung up.

I've felt this way ever since a child... And others made it clear I didn't belong too.

I love you people

It doesn't surprise me that most of the people who are asked this question on an internet forum answer that they don't generally feel human


Wave your freak flags high! :danana:

Massachusetts here. The Boston Red Sox is a privately owned baseball team of players from around the world. The players are grown men competing to try to hit a round object with a stick.

There is NOTHING Massachusetts or Boston about this team, and if the owners wished it they could move the team to Hackensack, New Jersey tomorrow.

The game itself is meaningless, and yet, I can't get away from people that are utterly obsessed with it. I compare it to checking how many burgers McDonald's sold over Wendy's each day, and then screaming, WE WON!" :no:

Oops! Sorry, I didn't tell you my name. It's XXxzyphyl from Zeta Reticuli.

From an early age, I have never quite felt like I belonged or that I was even a member of the same species as other people. As a child and throughout early adolesence, for as long as I remember, I had been angry with "the world" - not with anyone in particular, but with the way society operates. When I was perhaps 9 or 10 years old, I began to seriously question whether everyone else was an alien and I was the only human. In actuality, that would have made me the alien.

This sense of alienation lingers to this day, as someone with absolutely no interest in parties, drinking, drugs, money, material possessions, and the hedonistic lifestyle in general, but I've adapted, living quite a fulfilling life, and get along rather well with others despite our differences.

I'm generally not entertained by entertainment. I live a very sober lifestyle. I'm celibate. I meditate excessively. Others have mistaken me for mute, enlightened, a genius, and an "old soul" - none of which I can agree with (except for perhaps the mute part - for a while in my childhood I barely spoke to others).

Overall, I'm not quite human, but I can live with that.

Like a few people here, I have often felt that way; in my case, it is related to depression with a certain degree of Asperger's.

All I can say to you who feel this way is that you are not alone, and you have my sympathy....I find feeling this way really quite lonely.

I've never felt comfortable with other people. From an early age I felt more at home with animals and by myself. In my teens I felt strongly non-human, now I've somewhat came to terms with the fact. But I still don't really connect with people. I haven't gotten much good from their side and when I feel at home with the rare individuals I do, I refer to them as "creatures" or similar pet names. Many of the people I've been friends with have had similar feelings about themselves.

I think depression definitely is connected to it. Lack of social connection can cause depression (like it did in my case) or depression can in itself cause a disconnect with others around you. Just today there was an article in the news on how simply having someone you can rely on is a much better cure to depression and other mental problems than being sent to various doctors and therapists who treat you one symptom at a time.

Yeah, there's definitely some correlation with depression. Whether one causes the other or not is up for discussion.

I have often felt "left out" in various situations in life, and that has made me depressed and contributed to chronic depression but, likewise, because of depression, I have not wanted to be around people or felt that proverbial loneliness in a crown, being unable to relate to other people. It seems like a vicious cycle sometimes.

I think I can also relate to the "degree of Asperger's" as well

Weird is good.

Heh, friends tell me similar.

Heck even posting on here sometimes I feel like I'm not human.

I only have moments that I do feel like a human, I tend to cherish those moments as they're far and few between.
