Hello,

As life goes on I have noticed that i really struggle to fit in , in any kind of group.

Mostly they reject me (in a kind way, I earn the respect of the people I meet) , since they don't feel I am one of them.

And in a way, its kind of true. My background is a bit peculiar as is, plus I am moving countries all the time, and struggle to relate to the majority of the people I meet.

Now that is fine by me, I like different people with different backgrounds and opinions and activities, but the other social groups aren't too keen on inviting me to their activities or generally be with me, since they consider me the outsider.

That has left me quite lonely.

Plus, my life itself is quite lonely, due to the heavy, solitary work I have to do.


Too social for the "smart" (whatever that supposed to mean) crowd, too smart/conservative/insert whatever here/ for the very social groups.


Switching countries every 3 months or so doesnt help either, since people see that they aint gonna be with me in the long run, and there's not enough time to bond.

I live different lives at different places with different people, and ending up living none at all.

I have to clarify that this is not vacation, I am not going to other places with friends or to explore them. I need to move and do hard work wherever I go.


I would appreciate any help, comments or questions.

1. Be so valuable they accept you even if you are an outsider.
2. Become a part of their world and fit in without being fully sucked in

That's assuming you want to be regarded as part of the in group.

I'm working a similar job soon. Cutting trees, being stationed in hotels and moving every couple months. It's exciting.
