OUTSIDER I feel like an outsider or an alien is something that is not native to where ever they are. An outsider to me is someone who doesn’t fit into any type of social group and has very little to no social contact. I have felt like an outsider many a times. I can give you an example. The first day of summer school when I got here I didn’t know anyone and I felt like an outside like I didn’t belong here because everyone else was older and knew each other. I felt awkward around them and I didn’t really socialize with them. I still on day three of summer school barely talk to any of them they all just seem to be annoyed with me because I am younger or something? Another time I felt like an outsider was when I first left for treatment. When I first got to BHC I was scared and anxious about being there and trying to start out new there. I started to get to know people after the 3 day. I started to adjust and made the best out of it. I hated it being their, until the last month I was there and then I really started to realize that this place was here to help me not torture me. Then I was thankful to have gone through the program. …show more content…
I moved here to Worland about 2 years ago. I moved here in the summer. I went in the first day of school and didn’t know anyone so I kept to myself and went to my classes. The next day I started to talk to some people and started to get to know them. After the first week I stared to feel right at home and was warming up to people. I feel like an outsider sometime, but I mean almost everyone at least once in their life feels like an outsider. Being an outsider is never a bad thing. I only mean that you aren’t comfortable with the environment yet and that can take a few days for you to ajust. After that though you should start to feel
I have been to so many different schools that I cannot even count them all using all 10 fingers. You would think that by now I would be used to being the new kid, but with every move it just gets harder and harder. I have learned that it is harder to be the new kid when you are older versus when you are younger. As a kid it is cool to be the new kid and everyone wants to be your friend. In high school it is the complete opposite. Unless you approach them, most high school students won’t even bother talking to you. Every time that I think I have finally made a friend, I am almost immediately shot down. I am beginning to feel like I don’t belong
In what circumstances do you feel isolated? People feel isolation on a large spectrum. Some may feel the most isolated when in public surrounded by people they know well and others may feel isolated when surrounded by no one at all. The meaning of isolation varies considerably. However, I believe many can find common ground in how Merriam Webster defines isolation. According to Merriam Webster isolation means: the state of being in a place or situation that is separate from others : the condition of being isolated. I think the most severe form of isolation is where you have been separated from the rest of the world. In the short story “The Dead Child” written by Gabrielle
There are two types of social isolation, physical isolation and emotional isolation. Physical isolation is when one physically separates themselves from other people. Physical isolation is most often a result from someone who has become dependent on havin...
Isolation is a state of being separation between persons or group, or a feeling being alone. There are different factors that contribute to someone feeling alone and isolated. An example of this would be when celebrities go into deep depression because they feel isolated from the whole world. They have all the material things they could ever want, but the one thing they want the most, they do not have. , which is happiness, which comes from satisfaction within oneself and being satisfied with what one has done in one's life. Feeling isolated does not necessarily mean a person is bad. Evidence in Shakespeare play Macbeth , demonstrates this quite clearly that MacBeth's isolation comes from guilt , over-ambition and greed.
There are many ways one can feel alone yet still be part of a group. People can feel independent and still be in a group. Ponyboy from the book The Outsiders and the people from a town called Maple Street from the story “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” show how this is true.
To begin with, when I was younger I would have considered myself an outsider because when I first started school, I didn’t have the characteristics to fit in and felt like I would not blend into the people I was surrounded by. Also, I have met many people who have presented experiences from their past when they had felt like they didn’t fit in because they couldn’t keep up the standards to be popular. In social media, there are many guidelines that people feel the need to meet in order to feel like you belong and some who don’t match up can feel like outsiders, and that happens to many. Furthermore, in today’s society people feel the need to be popular or to fit in, and if they can’t meet the expectations they are considered an outsider and that happens universally. Others may suggest that just because someone doesn’t fit in a group doesn’t mean they are considered an outsider, they are just someone who doesn’t meet certain expectations. However, many others would disagree and would label someone an outsider when they don’t fit in or don’t meet expectations of society because that makes them think they don’t
McKays's poem, "Outcast," is the most obvious example of this outsider theme. From the title to the last line there are many references to a feeling of alienation and neglect. The voice in the poem longs for "the dim regions whence my fathers came." The voice also longs for

Being an outsider can have many negative effects on a person, such as hindering a person’s level of participation and their ability to function in a community. The harmful labels and prejudices against a person, group, or race can keep a person from having the same opportunities as those around them, effectively preventing their participation. Unfortunately, there are many examples of this in the book The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore and the Spiegel online article, “Europe’s Unwanted People.”

People create their own society but remain alienated until they recognize themselves within their own creation. Until this time people will assign an independent existence to objects, ideas and institutions and be controlled by them. In the process they lose themselves, become strangers in the world they created: they become alienated. The notion of alienation is an ancient one. St Augustine wrote: That's a lot.
It stems from my childhood as all my siblings would leave without a word of where they were going. Also I tend not to want to participate in different groups of people. But I am not internally isolated because I have found friendship with people within fandoms that I considered myself a part of. With people who do not follow the mainstream America, in terms of music or films. My current self-concept affects my communication as do not activity participate in when it does not involve family and friends.
Have I ever felt like I did not belong? Yes I have I feel that way in the school that I am in.
I feel uncomfortable in my own world. Being alone unnerves me. I always have felt the need to share my world, my mind and my feelings with somebody. My feelings about myself seem less important than what others think of me. I'm scared of being lonely. And so are we all. We all seem to be on a continuous search for someone who will really love and understand us. Someone to provide us with a purpose for life. And yet I think we are all essentially alone. We are alone in our thoughts an emotions.
