Tell us about a time  you felt out of place

What does it mean to be out of place? Is it just a feeling, or is it really because we don’t belong there? If it’s only a feeling, I feel out of place most of the time. Or I am invisible, or I have what we  call the imposter syndrome. The only time I don’t feel out of place is when I am with my kids (even if they are adults now).

« They » say we are always at the right place, at the right time, and nothing happens for nothing. So I guess I am where I am supposed to be, even if I want to be somewhere else. Would I be out of place if I was able to be somewhere else? Or would it be the right place at that moment? If I am really out of place, where is the good place for me?

Is the place a real place, or is it only a timing of events that takes place, being misplaced? Who decides what is in place or out of place?
