Apparently feeling like you belong somewhere, in family, society, a niche etc is imperative for good mental health. Where do you belong? Or are you still finding where you fit? Me, family is everything, that is where I fit and where I belong. Although we are so very different, our roots are deep. We belong together. http://youtu.be/VjEq-r2agqc

No. Healthy people are sociable people.

We belong together. http://youtu.be/VjEq-r2agqc It's not just feeling like you belong somewhere that is important it is also actually being accepted. Myself? In a lot of ways my family is still learning where I fit and for a few family members I simply don't fit. But importantly my children grew up with me and accept me wholeheartedly and love me unconditionally.

I'm so hoping to find my tribe, my soul tribe! As it is I only belong to my family, which basically comes down to my 2 kids and my mother. I find it important to learn to be at home with yourself, if you got that sussed you top it off with other -preferably like-minded- people.

I keep remembering what you previously said about Dutch people being a certain way.... I am going to be so good for her lol. Help her relax and let it all out. Already I have her grieving her husband. He passed 5 years ago. I am astonished she has held that in for so long. Here is to finding our tribe, besides famdamily

I am blessed to be able to get on with all my brothers and sisters. The older generation, Aunties and Uncles, well, that is impossible...

Aye. Family is the most important thing, which, includes my cats Work is just a necessity, luxury is not needed, faith is something I abstain, so is belonging to any group.

As a traveler and shoe walker, I've spent many years trying to figure out where I belong, where I fit in, and finding those who accept me. It's been a long painstaking, exciting, and enlightening experience... one that has finally brought me to a place where I feel that sense of belonging. I belong to me! I belong everywhere and nowhere! As far as fitting in... I fit perfectly inside myself, it matters not that I fit in other places.

Why fit in? when you can stand out. ( Dr Suess) But i suppose my mental health is questionable. ( at best ) Yea, ok so I'm nuts. Its preferable to superficialality. Same as most people really, got friends Since 30-40 years ago lol 1 or 2 new ones, family, enough not to feel the pinch in the middle of winter. You're right though. you need something. We're social animals. lone wolfs, rougue Elephants springs to mind.

In this many years I still have not found a place to fit in that I am happy with. Time to move on and make some changes and see if I find something more satisfying in life. Probably still be looking when I finally die!!

I'm thinking about moving house more often. It means making some really big decisions, but I should get going with preparations. And yes, that's connected to finding 'my' people as I'm totally not happy here. People are very different.
