Is it normal to never feel like you belong? As much as I can connect with people based on common interests there's a degree of conversation I feel like I am never able to have with people. Its like we live in 2 different planes where you see what others cannot or choose not to. Not sure if I described that in the best way

Hit me with a topic.

I relate to a degree. I think this happens the most when discussing topics that are somewhat more "passionate" than others, especially when there's disagreement. Though, sometimes, I find it equally difficult to understand myself as it can be difficult to understand others.

Does that mean society has lost its passion??

In a way, I suppose it could. I think people have become disinterested and apathetic to most things, and only react when there's a issue they feel strongly about. In previous generations it was assumed that you had a civic duty to take part in voting or simply knowing what's going on in your own town, no matter what the topic was, with the goal of improving the lives of those in your community.

I'm not sure how you could measure the decline of "passion", and really, my opinion doesn't matter anyway. Just because I think this is the case doesn't make it so. I'd be interested to know if anyone has come across some kind of study on the topic.

It's normal for me. That's why I'm a bunny now.

Haha a bunny??

I see you every where. Good for you!

I enjoy good quality conversation =)

I understand you. That resonates with me; indeed describes an experience this afternoon, with a good friend who is ultra-conservative.

I'm sharing your feeling for a very long time, but I'm not worried about it, 'cause I know the reason.
To answer your question, one should know you on individual level. It could be million reasons why you're dealing with that feeling. Most common reason is because you're unique (in this or that way) in your micro environment and you need someone alike.
But also, you could simply be an introvert, or your consciousness is more aware of "now" than the majority... if you're "awaken" one, then it's totally normal to feel that feeling. Then you should find other "awaken" and connect with them. Internet (like this site) can serve as first aid, but you actually need 'em in real life to lose the feeling.
Suggestion: Take a chance with someone and lift conversation to the level it satisfies you and see what happens. Often times, we underestimate others intellectual capacity

Perhaps a philosophy course at a good university would help.

I hate the term "awake". I feel there is too much of a divide between us in so many aspects. I do get your point I do live in a Uber liberal state so the conversation is not always fluid

@Conservative-Mex I don't like it as well, but got used it. It's easier for communication.
And yes, division (and oversimplification) is one of the main traits for those "asleep" 😀 🙂 ...(these smiles are so ugly)

You described the way I feel at times.
