I don't relate to anyone

[The Joker]

I just feel like no one around me understands my thoughts, beliefs, musical tastes, feelings, et cetera. No one relates to me at all.

I really do not like that feeling.

There is only one person I know that I actually have a connection with.

Sorry, I can't be bothered to write an essay about my feelings right now. I'm just upset about having NO ONE to talk to about everything.

I know internet isnt the same, but you can still talk to me anytime if it helps

I completely understand what you mean.

I remember having a particular period in my life where that feeling was so intensified, that it got borderline solipsistic.

The bottom line is that you do have at least one person you have a connection with. Part of this is being a teen and not having a larger exposure to more people and thus more ideas, and part of it is not looking at what you DO have in common with other people.

you may feel that people don't share your specific beliefs, tastes and preferences, but I can assure that NOTHING about the human condition has changed since the dawn of man - We can all relate to our fellow human beings on some emotional level. It's our least common denominator. Pain, Sadness, Happiness, Anger, Love... We have all felt them, and we all share that common thread. Open your eyes to the huge amount of things you DO have in common with others. It's amazing what pain and love can do to bring together complete strangers.

TAlking on internet doesn't work well, on VT we udnerstand that our problems are experienced by other people too.
We dont have too many people on real life to talk about too....

We should make a 1st Traditional Virtual Teen Meeting Day and let everyone come there :)

That's so funny you mentioned that! I've thought about that when I first joined - that would be AWESOME :D Anyways, I don't want to hijack your thread Matt, so I'll stand by what I originally said. Feel free to VM/PM me whenever.

[Fact]

Finding someone like that is like finding a lover, imo;
Theory goes there's at least one for everybody.
You'll find someone :] I'm sure of it
Chin Up!

There is someone and people out there that you have common ground with maybe closer than you think just look around there has to be someone you share something with anything a start.

Talk to me about anything: Music, politics, fisting. Whatever.

Just come over by my VM, and we we can start a conversation. Just break the barrier of feeling shamed. Seriously, I am open to everyone, and anyone can talk about just everything with me.

You think you don't share a thing with others? How do you know that without even approaching the guys?

Talk with them, and who knows, they might like or share similarity to something that you do.

I had a time like this when I just thought everyone around me was dull, conformist, unimaginitive and stuff and I probably wasn't very nice to some people and really moody. Then when I was having trouble with it my form teacher told me I had an exceptional iq and I was being impatient and frustrated because people didnt understand me so really it was my fault, and it helped get out of the vicious circle I'd been in. From reading vt I think you are a very smart guy and maybe that is part of it for you too. I also think some people mature faster, so you may just be waiting for others to grow up or wise up.

I know exactly how you feel. It's easy to feel this way sometimes, and I think that at one time or another everybody does. Recently I was admitted into the hospital for suicidal thoughts, and I met a lot of other people there my age who I felt like I could actually relate to. Before that I felt like there was absolutely no one around me who felt the same way I did, had the same beliefs I did, or was even remotely similar to me. But I've learned that just because you don't know anyone who can relate to you, doesn't mean that they aren't out there.

My belief is that everyone has someone they are meant to be friends with, someone that they can relate to completely and that will always be there for them and think similarly to them. Everyone has someone they can relate to, and it's usually more than one person. It's not that they're not out there, it's just that it's often hard to find them. But don't let it get to you so much. You can still be confident in who you are. You are apart from the crowd, and that is something to be proud of. Don't let who relates to you and who doesn't determine your confidence.

Eventually you will find someone that you feel has a lot in common with you.

that just means your far more intersesting then other people you associate with, and you dont just like whats the hipest and the coolest. or something like that. but honestly i feel the same way i feel like no one gets me and i cant ever be around people becasue im to different, and for that i only have a very limited number of friends. but when you do find that one thing that connects you to people you tend to find other things that you have in common and things just fall into place. trust me it helps to try sometimes. and haveing one person that understands you is better then have 100 people that you have to out up a false front for, just be your self:):)

I feel a similar way at the moment.

Most people don't understand my thoughts, beliefs, musical tastes, feelings, etc either, and yes its a horrible feeling. I feel alone in this world.

There is only one person I would consider a good friend, maybe 2 or 3 at a push.

Although I often get down about all this, the best option is to stay positive. I shall be going to university soon, so hopefully I will meet people who understand me, and who like being around me.

I'm holding on to the thought that there will be people who I can meet who understand me, and a girl who will like me. Its hard to ever think I will, but i'm trying to be positive, and I suppose thats the only way forward.

In real life situations, then obviously, I don't either.
