About This Quote

When you feel out of place, you feel like you don’t belong anywhere. You might feel as if you can’t find a place that is right for you. In some cases, this feeling can be truly paralyzing, as it holds you back from moving forward. It makes it difficult to take the steps that are necessary for your personal growth.

Sometimes it also leads to a sense of helplessness or depression. Benjamin Franklin said, "I think I'll feel out of place wherever I go on earth, forever." He was speaking about his belief that he would always be an outsider. His words may have been a little bit humorous, but they hold a very real meaning for those who have suffered from feelings of being out of place.
