Anyone ever feels like they were born in the wrong family?

Yeah, I do. But my glp family loves me...

Adopted maybe?

Maybe you were adopted?

I believe in God, so ultimately I believe were all related even though we have separate DNA.

I don't even feel like I "belong to my parents" we never get along haha.

I believe we are all exactly where we should be and our job is to figure out how to make the best of it :o)

I just thought my family was weird.
Turns out they're not mine, thank god.

I third the "adopted" question.

Mix up at hospital? But as your family have clothed, fed, roof over your head and got you this far I'd not worry about it. Believe me finding money for housing and food is hard...

decide where you want to be in 5 years, make a plan, start at step 1, and keep going. Revise plan when you see a quicker route or hit obstacles. Once you have this you'll care much less where you are from an care a whole lot more where you are going.

Someone has low expectations of family.
There's more to it than providing a meal and not killing the child.

yah. everyone in my family is white and i'm dark brown with african american features..

that has crossed my mind a few times because it would seem unbelievable for me to be truly be related to them. But I don't think I am because the resemblance between my family members and I is too uncanny.

I definitely think you have a point there but I hated feeling like I didn't belong but I didn't want to feel ungrateful and say that they weren't my family but the feeling is so strong...

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who feels that way.

I've thought about this before as well, that the reason I ended up in this family was to learn a lesson but I feel also they are the reason that hold me back in most facets of my life and reaching my full potential.

Absolutely. My karma must have worked against to be raised by two brutal human beings. Next time around, I hope I have a choice of family. If you believe in reincarnation.

Lol. I'm glad you found solace in being the only sane one in your family. I hope everything is good with you.

Thank you for the advice. Very helpful

Yes

Sometimes.
But, since I look like them and act like them there is no denying I'm one of them.

There is an actual term for this OP. It has at current slipped my mind. I have felt like this my whole life. Its a minor obstacle.

They were just really distant, like we were acquaintances. I tried to explain it away as their upbringing, but other kids with normal families thought it was weird that they didn't act like family and no one believed my story about them being fallen royalty (lol, I was a kid and I was trying). I spent so much time and effort trying to cover up that weirdness.

It's all good now though. I just don't ever speak to them.

Very true. Families are supposed to be emotionally and spiritually supportive as well, to help you become who you want to be and not what they expect you to be. Providing the basics is a given, it's everything else that matters more.

Umm... I don't know what to say except maybe it's time for you to question your parents? or find out about your family history?

I too AM ADOPTED / and HAVE contact since 2000 . WEIRD

I always felt that way growing up and asked all the time if I was adopted which they denied. Turns out I was just asking the wrong question as I found out when I was 17 my real parents had just left me there and the babysitters raised me, I was never adopted but wasn't their's. I know, that sounds so crazy, yet it's true. Well, I mean, as true as it can be. I found my real parents in my 20s and they said the babysitters moved and gosh they couldn't ever find me again. I'll never know exactly what happened. But like someone else said above, finding out the 'babysitters' weren't my real family was the best moment of my life. I just knew it! I have little to no contact with the fake or real parents and haven't for a long, long time. I will say it was weird as it turned out my name I'd grown up using wasn't correct and was a paper work nightmare to get a DL and SSN even way back then. Anyway, I do think there is something inside us that just knows.

My parents were very strict, traditional, stubborn, never want to hear what I have to say, everything I do is wrong, everything they do is right and matters and NOTHING I do matters. Anything that matters to ME is useless and they'll only do something for me if THEY think it's important. They can also be very loving with great senses of humor which confuses the hell out of me. I didn't believe in reincarnation before but when started to feel like I didn't belong that I started to believe that my soul was somewhere else before. I then found out about reincarnation but I don't fully believe in it cuz it freaks me out. I hope you do find what you're looking for. Good luck mate.

On my moms side... YES.

I like your answer, simple yet direct. lol. I'm asking this question seriously because the older I get the clearer it seems. How about you?

I hope that 's a good thing. Make the best of it.

Seriously?? If there is a term, I'd love to know what it is. I hated feeling this way before but I can no longer deny it, the less I deny it, the better I feel. The only thing is, I don't want to tell them for risk of offending anyone, this includes parents, siblings, aunts, cousins, pretty much everybody. I feel like I'm a stranger looking in.
