Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have always had a strong sense of feeling out of place and \u2018not belonging\u2019 \u2013 this feeling has been with me since I was a young child.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel\u00a0comfortable with\u00a0nature and the animal kingdom but not\u00a0with people.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m nearly\u00a040 and have definitely never found my feet\u00a0or my\u00a0place\u00a0in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have never formed intimate adult relationships, am socially avoidant, and\u00a0have never found a fulfilling career.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel a constant sense of being uncomfortable in my own skin and that something is \u2018missing\u2019, I just don\u2019t know what.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do\u00a0meditation which has eliminated much anger I carried around yet mostly I\u00a0still feel uncertain and lost.<\/span><\/p>\n

How\u00a0do I\u00a0find some sense of lasting purpose, direction,\u00a0or place in\u00a0everyday\u00a0life when I have always felt so displaced from it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding a sense of lasting purpose in life can be different from feeling like you belong.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may well discover that in living your dharma, you still feel separate from the values of your society.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is perfectly all right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of history\u2019s greatest artists and visionaries never quite fit their times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your primary focus should be on finding what you love to do and what you excel at.<\/span><\/p>\n

You mentioned animals and nature, so you have a general sense of what direction you need to look.<\/span><\/p>\n

By doing what you are meant to do, you will not mind as much whether you fit in with others or not.<\/span><\/p>\n
