QOTD: #199

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

I’d honestly, have to say pretty much since consciousness.

Being an empath and a male is very difficult and challenging. You’re different than most men in the world and you feel it and you’re different than most people in general.

You feel what they feel and they get freaked out by it and they push you away. What’s worse is at the time there was no term for what this was and I just thought I was going nuts.

I’ve always wanted to fit in and be like everybody else, but I realized that it will never happen. So instead, I’ll happily be myself and those that want to be in my orbit will be nearby and the rest can be by the wayside.

I’m happy being me even if I am weird, different, odd, eccentric, gauche, etc. It’s taking me 52+ years to get to this point and I am not ever going backwards.

Ergo, being/feeling out of place is OK because some of us I’ve always been there. As always, thank you for reading…

    • For me, I pick up on other people’s emotions and I have since I was about five. I never knew what it was or why it was and no one ever gave me an explanation cause no one else was like me except my aunt so all my life I wondered why I was so different until about 15 years ago in the term path finally came out and became widely accepted.

  3. It’s so freeing when we finally decide it’s okay to be weirdly ourself. I think you are a wonderful person and it shows in your writings my dear friend. Hugs to you and please don’t ever change. Stay uniquely you.
