Why Do I Always Feel Like I Am Weird And Not Normal

I always feel like I'm ovulating. Normal or not?

unfortunately normal, i get it too :) if it makes you feel weird use panty liners so you feel hygenic

wait, you havent had your period since september? :-/ yes you could be pregnant. otherwise if you think this isn't possible then go see a doctor to see where your period has gone

Family thinks I'm weird and not normal, help?

Bit about myself first: 14, Male, English, I like languages (I learn them in my free time as a hobby), art, music (a lot), travelling (again, a lot!). Now the question, I always overhear my Mother and sister talking about me, when they think I'm not there. They say I'm not like everybody else my age, I should be going playing sports or going into town. They say I don't have any friends and I am unsociable. I have a good set of friends from school and i get on well with everyone at school. I'm shy and quiet at first with new people but then I get chatty and they start to like. My mother and sister always pick on me saying "you should go into town with friends, if you've got any". I find that really upsetting but pretend to ignore them. My mom also says that my dad spoils me too much, and is too affectionate, he does things like talk to me after dinner, sometimes he brushes my hair which is annoying but we joke in that sense. I think my mother and my sister are selfish, like when I made my mum a pasta chain necklase for her birthday when I was 7 she threw it in the bin. And when I talk to my sister about how she is, she never asks hows school and how am I. What should I do???

Why do I feel like I'm not in reality or in the real world?

Before reading my response, I would highly recommend taking Chingo's advice and make sure it is not depersonalization, because this response is not about that.I think I have an idea of what you're coming from.While I have no official expertise, I do have experience, or so I believe.For the longest time I have been feeling similar to how you may be feeling; disconnected from reality and a general sensation that you're not experiencing reality "correctly" per se. It's really difficult to explain. However, I am doing everything correctly. My social life, academics, and about every other aspect of my life is great.As I am living out my life however, it seems as though there is a lack of color. I have only speculation as to why this is happening. But I do have a (somewhat temporary) solution.Practice MindfulnessStop for a second every once in a while and just observe. Don't focus on anything but the now. Observe everything around you as it is taking place in the present. Don't give into any distractions, just be a part of the present as it is unfolding.Hell, even try meditating if you havent already.And to those of you that have read this and have no idea what I'm talking about, even if the person asking the question doesn't, be mindful every once in a while.Edit: Quick update. So almost a year ago I was diagnosed with anxiety and that really helped to explain a lot of things about who I am as a person, and I believe that this changes the tone of my answer.I've always noticed that I tend to live in my head. This, I feel, has made it harder for me to focus on what’s really happening in the world in front of me, because so much of my brain power is spent on thinking. I get so caught up in over-thinking everything that not enough of my focus was in the present moment.Mindfulness solved that.Every time I meditate I feel real, and while that sounds like nonesense, it makes sense to me. I am able to focus on whats tangible and the constant bombardment of thoughts that comes with anxiety stops after I finish meditating. It’s the greatest feeling.Please try meditating, regardless of if you have anxiety, stress, something else, or nothing at all. It really did change me.

Is it normal that I feel weird about my brother's girlfriend spending christmas with us?

There's nothing wrong with feeling uncomfortable as she probably feels like a complete stranger to you.

In the end, all I can suggest is that you try your best to get along with her, seeing as how she's become an important part of your brother's life for the past 2 years.

You don't have to be close friends or anything and it's admirable that you've tried to make an effort to be nice to her. At least you did everything you could.
