Something odd happened to me in school that I really wanted to talk about...

Hi everyone, long story short, I was sat in class once when I was 16, and the teacher was teaching us about discrimination and that people usually get discriminated for various reasons such as their race, their accents etc. Then after a bit, she goes has anyone in class ever been discriminated against? Then people started talking about their incidents until slowly the teacher turns to me out of nowhere and goes i can tell you have been badly discriminated, do you want to share it with the class? And she looked genuinely sad staring at me as if she felt bad. How on earth did she know I have been discriminated against my whole life? I'm really offended but at the same time want to know what is wrong with me.

What do u all think?

Not seen as an equal member of society

I (17m) become a social outcast wherever I go. At times, I was bullied and talked about so bad, akin to that of a “lolcow.” Due mostly to the fact that I’m really hideous and probably neurodivergent. Some people have been kind, many have not, but none have fully included me into their group. As so I’ve been told, they see me as “lesser,” and therefore not worthy of being a part of their groups and therefore society as a whole. The only people who wanted to be my friends were the “sped” kids, as in those in separate classrooms.

The pros of being a social outcast:

1. Can do work without any interpretations

Whenever you're trying to do something, no one will disrupt your peaceful work.

2. No toxic relationships/friendships!

Since you have no relationships/friendships at all, you aren't stuck in a toxic one.

3. More time for self care and hobbies

4. A lot of time to relax at home

5. Less busy schedule

Those are all I can think of, if you have any more you can comment and I'll add it to the list!

I have some curse that makes it so I can't I friends. (Not really but it sure seems that way)

I'm getting really jealous. I see people smiling and laughing to each other, and I'm trying to not to get mad. I've never really been jealous of people but the more years that go by, the more years I have no one to rely on, the more I get jealous. I honestly didn't even realize I was jealous until listening to "Jealousy, Jealousy" by Olivia after a couple of years.

The last time I had a friend that lasted more than a year was in 4th grade. She left me for another girl, but she was the first person who actually called me their "best friend". It caught me off guard at first and I kept telling her to repeat herself to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

I found myself in a couple of trios, they never worked, there was ALWAYS a duo. Then, I tried a squad, I thought there'd be 2 duos, but trios decided to work and I got left out. Made me learn trios can work, just not for me though. (I think they are still a trio till this day and forgot about me)

I've given up on friendgroups and decided if I was gonna make a friendship, it'll be a duo. It's kinda to late for that though, because everyone already has a bsf and I would NEVER steal someone else's bsf. Even if I tried it wouldn't work.

When someone asks me "Why are you always alone?" I always say "People are just annoying, I don't want friends." But that's a 🎶LIE LIE LIE🎶 I pray every night for a friend that'll care and love me.

My Very Tragic Story of PTSD, Schizoaffective, and Depression: YouTube Channel

https://m.youtube.com/@micahyoung7138/videos

I've physically been assaulted and jumped on the street. I've been bullied in my college dorms for my mental health. I've wandered across the highways drunk and slept underneath a truck in Iowa. I've experienced psychosis, delusions, and audio hallucinations. I've hurled my body into traffic and rolled helplessly in the middle of street in NYC and screamed for help. I've attempted to jump off a bridge in New York and hit my head with a rearview mirror. I've had strangers laugh at me in public during a mental health episode. I've been bullied and stigmatised for my learning developmental disorder growing up in school. I am stuck with my grandmother and aunt in my hometown for 20 + years and living with all this trauma and working a miserable job. I have absolutely no friends to reach out to and no siblings. Do I need to continue?

Please do not remove this post I have nowhere to share. If you do not like the content or my description simply keep it moving.

My experiences with PTSD, Manic Depression, Psychosis (Schizoaffective Symptoms). My life as a a black social outcast and recluse. I’m 27 and I am lost and I have been through hell. I cannot move forward to 2024 I’ve been through so much the last 7 years. I have no friends and no community and only child. Check out my stories

I dropped out of society and not on my phone a number of years ago and now that I’ve returned….

So about 10 years ago I made a choice to drop my interest in what was happening in the world or the media or society ect, and just focus on work and my family. I figured if anything was truly important, I would hear about it eventually. And I have to say that I was largely correct.

Now my kids are in college and my work life is where I want it so I decided to start interacting more and going out of my way to meet others and be social.

If I’m honest though, I despise 99% of the people I meet now. Everyone is so angry all the time about anything. There’s almost no one joking around or being kind that I can see.

Also, because I don’t have such a relationship with my phone, people are so easy to pass up. It seems petty but if you are so distracted by your phone, and I jump the line and get my items before you, I don’t lose anything. If you happen to notice, I just denote you were on your phone. …..that situation is only going to an angry one anyway

So I’m feeling like I’m the last survivor on a planet of angry people who seem to not be able to read. I’m outcast and thinking heavily about just closing the doors and going dark for another ten years or so

Glad to find this sub cause I need advice

I’m into almost any hobbies under the sun. I made a new friend here on Reddit. I feel like I fucked up our friendship by being me. I’m really into paranormal shit so I had them look up Emily’s Bridge. It a place in Stowe Vermont that I want to go to so bad. And then I fucked up by telling them a story that happened to my mom there. Didn’t realize that they weren’t as into paranormal and shit like that as me. Can I just become a complete social outcast. I’m talkin outcasted from the outcasts.

EDIT: I’m sorry I’m such a fuck up. I fucked up our friendship. I’m better off dead.

Glad to find this sub

Hi folks. I was just looking for a place like this and think we can do a lot of good for ourselves and each other by sharing stories of isolation, unintentional assholery, and how we're trying to be better. I'm going to try and spend some time here each day.

As an example, I'm not a total loner but there've been multiple situations in the past where I started thinking negatively about a person or group. I wanted to help improve the situation or help them solve their problems but instead ended up distancing myself and becoming another outcast. I have desire to be in the inner circle of groups but that only seems to happen when work in a totally self-sacrificing way.

I could go on but figure that's enough to start. How have you coped or changed your practices to reduce these kinds of things?

Story time

About 9 years of being a reject and now I don't care and don't wanna fit in. (How come people always tell me I fit in when I don't) Anyway, a person not naming any names here(Just gonna say Jen Lolley) was telling me I'm nothing for 8 years and I realized I'm not nothing, I'm something, in fact... something else.

State of the Sub: Revisioning

Hello friends!

7y ago this sub was created to discuss the television series Outcast by Robert Kirkman. It was cancelled after two seasons and this sub has sat rather dormant since.

Since the covid pandemic there has been the odd mental health post pop up regarding being an "outcast" from society. Being a huge advocate for mental health and safety I felt this would be a very unique way to revitalize the subreddit and give support to those whole seek it.

The subreddit will go through a cleaning up stage where we will clear the content and rework the rules to better reflect this change.

Thanks and have a great day! Guy

The outcast

Hi, I don’t even know who I am anymore… I used to think I was outgoing, popular, full of life and happiness…now I just feel like people have taken it all away from me in the matter of the last five years of my life. In 2018, my then nine year old son was ran over by a Ford explore and lost half of his knee compartment, growth ligament and has now a permanent deformity in his lower extremity. During that time it was clearly very traumatic as a mother to presence and also was a very confusing time for me where I was misunderstood by everyone around me. I broke up with my partner of five years. Whom I just recently found out molested one of my daughters 4 months ago…I moved into an apartment in West side of Chicago in 2019 where I after so many years of being in a miserable relationship I was free to dateand distract myself from my own pain…(still hurting from my sons accident I’m in between surgeries and therapy.)I admit during that time I found outlets that were very self-destructive, I have three children in total with no support system and at that time I started dating someone that wasn’t very good for me and completely ruined my mental health. He was physically, mentally and verbally cruel, abusive, and narcissistic. I feel like at that time there was a spiritual warfare going on because I was dabbling into witchcraft trying to find some sort of light in all of my pain only to make matters worse! So fast forward to 2022. That person was stalking me, ruined my business, joined forces with another asshole I dated after him, revenge porn, sexual and physical assault…it all just ended really terribly for me and I ended up having to move to Florida where I met the most amazing man that I could ever ask for, completely different from anyone I’ve ever met. You’d think my sister and best friend and family would be happy for me??? I mean after everything I’ve been through…instead once things were going really well In Florida ppl started treating me differently. During the last year as my life has improved, and I have flourished in my relationship, my sister has admitted to feeling triggered because my life is seemingly well compared to hers, although I appreciate the honesty and I can respect someone that can actually be that real with themselves. I cannot afford to be around someone that makes me feel so small. That makes me feel like I don’t matter lately. Who randomly insults me and body shakes me. Critical of me…yet admits jealousy. I’m just hurt!The closest people have literally dissipated from my life I’ve cut everyone off of my family cut and I’m so alone that the only people that I have are my kids and my husband and somehow I don’t care but I do feel like people are intimidated by me when I do well and I just don’t understand why I feel like I’m a piece of shit but at the same time people think I’m so great, but if you’re inferior why do they want to ruin me, destroy me, talk about me, ignore me and make me feel like I’m worthless. These past few months I’ve been pursuing my mortgage loan officer state license and I’ve encountered ppl treating me the same way. I’m starting to think I’m the problem and maybe I’m too nice. On Monday, the leader of my study group was sick and I decided to help lead the group in efforts to help not to take over…and I let her know of the curriculum we went over and the reading. She sounded excited in our messages and even happy that I stepped in to help, however the next day, when it was time for us to read, she typically acknowledges me first and is excited to see me, but yet I was met with an upset, neutral, annoyed face throughout the reading she called on everyone else in the group, which is about six people and never called on me to read completely ignored me today in our study session she did the same thing and I’m just wondering am I just suck…lbvs I consider myself to be a genuinely caring person with a soft heart very empathetic very emotionally, sensitive and very energetically sensitive to other people as well and it’s a gift and a curse. I didn’t explain why I cut my family off but pretty much they’re all toxic and my mom is an alcoholic narcissist who is verbally emotionally abusive even at her old age she still won’t stop she still someone I tried making amends with. I’ve tried apologizing to her, and nothing ever works. I had to cut off my cousins because they had secret animosity towards me. They would purposely not invite me to things or avoid me or not reach out to me, I had to cut off my aunt who I loved as a mother because she is my cousin’s mother and my cousin got in her ear and they both talk about me. I feel very misunderstood. I feel very unloved I feel very alone and sometimes I feel like if it wasn’t for my kids I wouldn’t even wanna be here. What’s the point? Anyway, enough of me rambling on it sounds like I’ve said enough it doesn’t even matter anymore.

What do you do in this situation?

You know that situation where someone knows how to get under your skin but they do it so well if you confront them about it or try to talk to someone you’ll just end up looking crazy.
