And for those who can't relate, feel free to diss me, shame me, whatever you want cause it won't hold much effect at this point.

Background
Anyways, growing up I was a pretty sheltered dude. I had my friends, lived in a decent suburban neighbourhood and all that but my parents always promoted that all work no play attitude. It was all about school and helping around the crib in anyway. It goes all the way back to when I was in elementary school. I'd come home from school, sit at home and watch Hey Arnold or whatever, do my math homework, wait for Dragonball Z to come on and hit the bed. In some cases I'd also be forced to go to my mom's place of business once dad came home from work and help load shipping containers being exported overseas. During the summers when my "friends" might've been playing road hockey or out doing what kids do I was helping my mom sell Avon or Kente/Lace materials or run her shop. Weekends were the same with church being the cherry on top (to make matters worse the service was in a language I cant understand).

Basically what I'm saying is my childhood was pretty much stripped and I became an introvert with social anxiety. When high school and even late elementary school came it got to the point where if a classmate was holding a jam (party) or people were going out to do some social stuff I didn't feel comfortable in joining. Furthermore I just didnt feel like I fit in. Going to the movies, window shopping at the mall, going bowling, lying down on beach sand as a dark skinned nikka...I dont know; none of it had any appeal to me. All my nikkas cared about was gear and bagging hoes. I didnt have money for clothing and was stuck wearing hand me downs and because of the social anxiety didnt even feel the need to bag girls. Instead my forte was math, being creative, music, thinking of new ideas, learning about shyt and sadly I didnt know anybody on the same wavelength in my circle. Consequently for a long time I've felt like an Alien on this earth. It's no coincidence that my name is derived from the god of war whose name is that of another planet. I might as well be a martian.


The point of the thread

Now even with the anxiety though I've never held a grudge against my parents for rocketing me into this world from Mars, the planet that is my dad's nutsack. Even with a lack of belongingness and the stripping my childhood. After all, the contributions my brothers and I made make me feel good about myself and have instilled great values. One of these values is probably the only valuable thing that church taught me: the golden rule.

"Treat others as you want to be treated"

Even now as a 21 year old without the social anxiety I still cannot help but feel like I am stuck in a generation, a world where I dont belong. One of the reasons is a serious breach of the rule I listed above. I wont go into any details yet but on a daily basis I come into contact with people and seem to notice a great deal of selfishness, disrespect, cowardliness, connivance and a gang of other vices. I am not holier than thou but I just dont get it. A small string of events has gotten me to just say eff it...I'm going back into my shell and focusing on whats important.

Sometimes I honestly don't know why I am here. Does anybody else feel this way? :why: It goes deeper but its hard to get it all out there.


Just airing out my thoughts.

I am sorry your parents didn't value your childhood development as much as they should have, but you seem like you have cultivated many wonderful qualities internally which makes all the difference.

Our culture, lack of parenting, media, ect are to blame for why people are not more caring, empathetic, loving, respectful, ect. And a lot of people are thought the complete opposite actually.

I fit in with people on a very surface superficial level but internally I feel very similar to you. Many people can't relate to how I view things or feel about things. But as long as I am talking about 2 chainz or WorldStar they are my best friend. :snoop:

As far as "not knowing why you are here".. thats an answer that ONLY you can find or develop since it is personal for everyone. And ones reason for being here at one time may be different at another stage of life as things evolve as as people grow.

I personally think that as long as you stay true to yourself, you will be ok. :hug:

Dorne.
I used to feel that way. Then I started working on my self-centered tendencies.

You sound like a complete and utter a$$hole right now my dude.

THank you for your replies. Oddly enough I was gonna add some more but didnt want to make the first post too lengthly. The following:

I've heard it all:

"You're arrogant"
"Stop being so serious"

And while that may be so, i mean...I am who I am. I personally have no problem why people are the way they are and I do my best not to pass judgment. Ill be the first dude in a slut shaming thread talking about, "Who cares girls lenjoy sex too" or in an argument about religion telling everybody to just let each other believe what they believe (even though I dont belong to any religion). Not even on some Marilyn Monroe shyt but if I feel slighted or cannot understand why someone might act a certain way then I can't help it.

If I was raised in a manner that has made me serious...I cant help it. So many ppl think I'm arrogant but I have no bytches right now, I am a student trying to get a great job, I have no wealth, I have no fame...what reason would I have to be arrogant? I have somethings going for me but nothing astronomical...

I'm considered good looking by some people...(who isnt?)
Very considerate and helpful
Very honest, to a fault in fact
I am pretty smart (isn't like I'm einstein though...I work hard to get good grades / take learning seriously)

LOL and thats pretty much it. These are qualities that many have so I dont think I'm special by any means. I am actually an extremely humble person but people dont see it. I just depict or explain things as I see them and people shame me for it. Hence why I feel i dont belong. Not everybody's calling is to be X or Y. If that was the case society wouldnt work. But man, it'd be nice to have somebody I could really relate to and share some common interests with.

You appear to be a narcissistic, self absorbed self indulgent young man, who due to amount of time you have spent alone you have become highly aware of yourself, lost in your own thoughts and have developed a strong interpersonal relationship with yourself (which is a good quality to have), however on the flip side regardless of how you try and play this you have come to the conclusion that you are some how different to the people around you, when in reality you aren't you are simply another human being like everyone else.

The choice is yours, how much will you indulge in this ? will you indulge in it ? if you indulge in it will you stop yourself from building new relationships ? by indulging in this would it be a character flaw ? by not indulging would you be simply conforming and suppressing who you really are ? This is what you must ask yourself.

Your answers and how you approach the questions above will pretty much determine the choice of your relationships for the rest of your life. Neither option is wrong nor right, you have to either chose to take yourself out of your thoughts begin to find ways to relate to the next man next to you or you can remain in this shell and close yourself up from most people.

Most people out there are full of shyt anyway, if you do go out of your way to integrate more your skills you learnt as an introvert will prove beneficial, you'll be able to tell apart the fukktards from the real and observe people more to find the genuine ones.

The choice is yours. :obama:

Has nothing to do with generations. We're just not common people out there. :yeshrug:

aaaand .. you're also going to have to learn to brush those things off. and get used to your alone time. :yeshrug:


once again :yeshrug:

shyt one example was when I was talking to a girl I had recently met. She seemed cool and interested to the point where I thought I could let this girl into my mind...see the way I think,

One Friday night I was with my best friend just talking catching up (I love that nikka) and the girl asked why I wasn't out...how I should go out and get involved, go to a club or something. That's all fine and dandy but it made me think about the club game in itself (this is me being "too serious" I guess).

I started thinking about how I don't fit in the club environment. How its nothing but a bunch of dudes trying to floss or stunt with some money they made of fraud or stacking while living in mama's crib vs. (Key word is verse) a bunch of posh, often beautiful women who are in the club looking all posh and acting all prissy. It's just too much.

I broke down the current club dynamic how I saw it. When ever I go to house parties or keggars with my college buddies its a good time. People are drinking, nobody is checking/watching how you act, the women are friendly, the men are jokers all that good stuff. I get to these clubs and I got women cockblocking me, I got girls ignorning me no matter how polite I am in trying to talk to them. i got dudes mean mugging me like I know them. I got nikkas blowing smoke all around me. I see dudes trying to holla at these girls and more often than not getting burned the same way I am.

Where is the fun in this? Who is getting involved with who in this environment? It be them times I try to let loose and have fun but the next night i'm getting text messages about, "Yo who was that girl you were cuffin? " or some other bullshyt. Cuffin? :what: nikka i was just tryna get my dikk rubbed by some ass it isnt that serious :laugh:.

She says, "We act like that because all you guys want is sex"

:what:

If you think that you cant offer a guy any worth other than your vagina why would you expect him to? Its called the self-fulfilling prophecy. At the very least attraction is always going to ignite the pairing between two people and with that comes sex eventually. A guy can cherish you, want to have children with you and all that but he's still going to want to fukk you know? Anyways, I guess that shyt was too real for her and then she stopped giving me any play like a coward. Or I'm just an idiot who doesnt know what I'm talking about.

Reactions like that are what make me feel like I dont belong though. I mean, god forbid I have an actual opinion. But I'm the a$$hole.

I feel you my nikka, but you still in a position to rurn that shyt around. You ain't done nothing self destructive yet, that's always a plus.

I went through similar situations but I turned to violence and frivolous spending to hide my pain. I'm a productive upstanding citizen now but it's too late for me to enjoy my "youth". You still can.

Be You Breh! If More nikkas Had Parent Like Yours The Black Community Would Be A Better Place. Seems To Me Your Parents Instilled Work Ethic And Values That Many Should Aspire To. They Gave You DirectioN In Life Where Many Of Your Peers Have None.Wish I Had Parents Like That Instead Of Learning these Lessons On My Own.


Ps If You Who I Think You Are You Still A Cocky a$$hole Tho :mjpls:

A lot of well to do Africans make their kids loners/weirdos especially nigerians.

The ones that grew up with a mixture of city life and the village are usually the most well rounded one's from what I have observed.

All that focus on your studies crap/work all the time is very detrimental to a child, I mean look at what happened to mj.

Look at asians, the definitely have the most number of suicides on average.
