The feeling of not belonging anywhere is a vastly universal human experience. Everybody has felt it at least once in their lives, but some people feel it all their lives and more deeply. The stereotype is an overthinking introvert who has niche interests and is pretty shy around other people. But there is a difference between social anxiety and feeling like you don't belong. You can be extroverted to the maximum and still feel alone among people.

We have evolved to live in groups of 20 apes in a small tribe. We didn't evolve to live in cities which contain millions. The feeling of not belonging is the feeling of not having a tribe or community. A sense of camaraderie and family. It's not about how much you have in common with people. In my experience, I have been best friends with people who are vastly different from me, but we have the same values, like loyalty, love and purpose.

You don't feel like you belong because...well, you don't belong among those people. It's no crazy mystery. The more you know yourself, the more you know what people you want to have around. They have to share your values and care about your well-being. That annoying feeling of not belonging anywhere is trying to protect you from depleting your energy somewhere where it's not appreciated. It's up to you if you listen to it or not. And it's up to you if you do something about it...or just complain about how alone you feel.

Find your tribe. Find your people. "It's hard", you say. Well, of course, if it were easy...you wouldn't be reading this post.

Someone NEEDS to make a Dungeon Anarchist Cookbook. I don't care if it's Matt, or some rando who just finished the eight series. Just someone who's commited to anylizing every single entry directly stated and then adding more to match the real book size. The whole reason I chose my Madness flair is because I am the nerdiest of the nerds, and if someone made that beaty of a book I would memorize every word, film a video of me saying every word, and let the internet feast. I would actually cry. So please, the people (or person) who wants ALL the details like myslef, I BEG OF YOU, please get to work.

Being that hes 10, I understand why he might think being called a "Nerd" is an insult.

But he couldn't comprehend that you could be a "star wars nerd", and all that means is you've watch star wars a lot, and you know a lot about it.

I would like to know, from some self-proclaimed "Nerds", what is the coolest topic, you are a nerd in? Id like to open his mind to it. Also if tour topic isn't "cool", id like to know why you think its cool.

So I've always been super into science and biology as well as learning new things and that but I've never been taught how to thoroughly research a topic of interest. I never know where to start or how to progress into more specific or general categories. I really would like to learn all of this stuff because I have so many topics that deeply interest me and that I would love to become more knowledgeable on and so help would be appreciated.
