It's true. Many years ago, as a kid, (I'm in my 70s) I believed that actually I was an alien, switched at birth, and commissioned to study human beings. The trouble was, I felt there was something so different about me . . something so awful and unloveable . . and I couldn't figure out what it was. I had always felt that way. That I was wrong for the job of "acting" the human. I longed for my real parents to come and get me and take me back so I could "belong" somewhere. I have come to accept that feeling over the years. I had come to believe that that feeling came because I am an introvert (sneaky, unlikeable) and everyone I surrounded myself with are extroverts (charming, likeable) who insisted that it is deeply wrong to "isolate" myself. That there is something terribly wrong with someone who would rather stay at home and read than go on a cruise, or attend a party. I can't believe that it took this long to realize that the world is full of people like me .. . . and that we are great and wonderful people, unique, loveable, good people . . . It's like the best present ever . . . I AM OK!

I'm only halfway through the video, so this may be coming up, but having to keep secrets is a big one. If there's violence, alcoholism, SA, anything that you have to keep secret, it's so hard to feel free to speak your truth. It automatically sets you apart from other children if you have to hide your experience.

I felt as a kid, I was with the wrong family...having a mother & older brother bullying me all the time. I felt unlikable...different...still do!

So glad I found your channel. It’s impossible to get the right support for CPTSD when you don’t have the finances and all this info is so important.

I have actually said “ If I find out that I am an alien- it would all make sense…”

Hi all! I have been out of the country this past 8 days but have been reading all your comments, thank you so much for being here. I am trying not to work on vacation - lol - but I appreciate you being here so much. Much love.💗

I heard the term soul murder and thats exactly what it feels like. Its sickening

I'm not even done listening to this video, but I have to comment. You have hit on *so many* things that apply to me. So many. But at 8:30, this really spoke to me. I am a creative person. I write poetry and dabble in (and hope to retire working in) arts and crafts. I have *just* been thinking about this lately that I need to find a group of other creatives to mingle with, either online or in real life. My creativity has always been one of my strengths, but because I have worked in the public sector for so long, that part of me has been squelched. I was just so excited to hear you say that about connecting with and meeting others who share hobby interests! Sometimes, it feels like all I do is work, eat, sleep, and try to figure out what's wrong with me. Time to celebrate what's right! What survived, and even thrived, throughout all the chaos! Thank you for this video!! ❤

My feelings of otherness have caused me so much grief. I’ve actually told myself I wasn’t capable of so many things I wanted to do. I thought other people were able of achieving their goals and everything I want is aiming too high or being me being unrealistic. I know I’m intelligent enough but I function so differently to people around me. I have been through a lot and I feel like it has made me weaker as opposed to stronger.

I hope i can make it through this confusing journey called life.

Your deep dive into autism has taken me along. I always felt different and now I've found my tribe!

[naturalhealingmexico]

I always felt i was adopted, now i realize it was due to the rejection and negligence of my parents...

[knightdark]

I beat myself up all the time, working on it and I'm 60 yo.

[v.k.]

Since I treat myself as if I am diagnosed with what I think I may have, I feel lighter and so much more confident.

We are ALL different, upbringing, dysfunctional family 👪, poor family dynamics, trauma, life is a endless series of, tests and trials for us ALL. NAMASTE 🙏

[alexmartin]

What a fantastic way to start the day; your calm, kind reflections on so many aspects of our lives and what it feels to be "other". I am so grateful to you for these insights. Thankyou.

[StewARTist]

Thank God I’m not the only alien on this planet!

[susanmason]

I find “like minded” women and sometimes men in local specialty Needlepoint Shops. I’m retired and when I go to a “stitch-in” either near my house or on my travels, I fit in like no other group. We naturally mainly talk about the projects we are stitching and the different unique stitches used. Thank you for the work & research you put into the video. Excellent!

I finally realized why Dr's treat me like I'm invisible when I walk in with proof of my impressive scoliosis and my surgeries and how I've worked so hard to handle all of it naturally and without being able to take pain medication because of my digestion. I act like I'm regular, not in chronic pain and exhaustion. It's a life long learned skill and couldn't act any other way.

[gigicolada]

I 100% truly believed I was an alien as a child. I knew they would come back for me. I would sit up at night watching my window for their return 😅
