Why do I feel a sense of not belonging?

You do not belong to any crowd; you belong to existence itself, and in that awareness, a quiet at-homeness unfolds everywhere.

— Osho
According to Osho, your sense of not belonging arises from living in the “wrong room”—identifying with borrowed roles and expectations. You try to be a bird when your nature is different. Drop secondhand identities, laugh at the mind’s pretenses, and return to your inner center. In awareness you don’t belong to any crowd; you belong to existence, and a quiet at-homeness appears everywhere.

You feel out of place because you’re wearing others’ labels—be yourself and rest inside, and you’ll feel at home anywhere.
