The distressing feeling of not belonging seems much more an internal issue than an objective one. Objectively, one belongs to where one is born. And if we see Schopenhauer, for example, experiencing it all his life, we can only credit it to an inner disposition. Schopenhauer, in fact, was relatively well-accommodated, and he also adapted relatively well to the circumstances imposed on him, although he did not realize it. The feeling he carried through life was nothing more than a psychological hindrance that he could not get rid of.
