Exactly! I don't belong anywhere.

Maybe it would help if we shared where we met our significant others. I'm at least willing to say. We met at work when we were both teenagers.
I agree with some others here, that our talking to you about this probably doesn't help to do much except to keep you stuck at questioning level. I think it's a good sign that you are curious about how to live life but I think you have to get out there and find out who you are. And live it. I don't think that you know who you are yet and that's okay. I do think a good therapist who can act as life coach (and they do) and mentor could help you gain insight. The experience part is on you, friend.
Yes Jersey Girl. It is time for me to look for a therapist.
You're not asking for 'help'. You're making an inappropriate in real life request, after posting like a creep in thread after thread after thread. There is plenty of appropriate 'help' already offered in this thread. Take it.

So he is, and so he has.
But perhaps Doubting Thomas's apparently deliberate creepy posting style is in fact the completely inadvertent consequence of a high incidence of typos caused by his having taken to typing with one hand, since the other is occupied away from the keyboard? I am beginning to get the distinct impression that this may be the case.
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
Showing once again the need for a therapist/life coach.
