Questions and Thoughts on Alienation

You ever feel like a total alien?

Like you’re only pretending to be human?

Like you’re just mimicking whatever ‘human’ behaviours are expected of you?

I feel like everybody will probably experience this at some point in their lives, whether it's for a few months, years or a mere couple hours.

It’s odd.

. . .

But a little bit cool at the same time.

It kind of feels like you exist in a different realm, and you’re just peeking into human life. Gathering whatever information you can, so you can go report your findings at your fancy alien univesity later on.

I took a personality test once, turns out I’m an INTJ (I don’t really think this test is legitimate though). Apparently, INTJs usually feel like aliens a ton. So maybe that’s why.

But then again, I think everybody goes through this, so probably not.

Maybe we’re all aliens. But then wouldn’t that mean we aren’t aliens? Because an alien would imply somebody that is somehow different, right? But if we are all one thing, then nobody is different, hence nobody is an alien.

Hmmmm.

Here’s the definition of an alien:

Alien: belonging to a foreign country or nation

Now I’m even more confused than when I started writing this. That’s how I know I should stop writing . . . Also the word alien sounds so weird to me now.
