Where Do You Belong?

“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.” // Kurt Vonnegut

Even though I’m a bit of a loner, I like to know I belong.

List the things that make you feel like part of a community.

It is just knowledge in general and discussing experiences with people!

I don't belong anywhere, I just go and see if I like the experience. I am just here for the ride. My opinion may change later on in life. I don't know, because I don't want to try. I feel that if I do try to fit in I fail horridly.

There have been very few times in life where I felt like I fit in. The only true place was of course with my family (mom, dad, brother). I guess because no matter what I do they will quickly forgive and continue to love me. I can't truly make them mad at me and because of that I think I am more relaxed and part of that "community".

I have never really fit in anywhere easily. If there is a community where people can come up to others and greet them in sincerity and actually make friends with people and introduce them to others that would be a wonderful way to get to know people and therefore be able to build a network of friends.
Aside from that you would need:
being able to go to a place that plays music and has art and not feel out of place
a place to volunteer and meet people
having a friend I can go places with.

Just knowing I'm a metalhead is all I need because I know now matter how much I screw up, I can always go to a show and feel like comfortable knowing this is where I belong because we're all from different walks of life that we're all brothers and sisters from different moms.

This is a tough one for me. I am adopted and have had a life long quest/pursuit to find myself and how i fit in in this world. I have come to find out I am an indigo soul which sets me apart even more. Once I hit high school I stopped trying to be a part of a community and fit in (though I had my regressions) and have learned to embrace my uniqueness and I actually now seek to be as unique as I can be based upon my passions. I have found various parts of my uniqueness in other friends which always excites me, but I know I am one of the most unique people on the face of this earth, and that makes me happy. Standing out makes me feel like part of a community, the community that is here on earth to aid in this paradigm shift occuring on earth right now.

I couldn't put down one real place where I belong. But, a few examples; if I'm in a crowded room and someone decides to start a conversation with me amongst the people, I feel like I belong. If someone, upon seeing me, looks up and smiles and tells me they've been waiting to see me or have something to tell me, I feel like I belong. Whenever I return home after a few weeks at University, I feel like I belong, and then upon returning back to University after a stint at home I feel like I belong.

I think for me, it's basically being accepted as part of the 'group' wherever I am.
