The fear and aversion towards staying in one place for long.


Posts: 1319

I've moved around all my life, in my childhood it was driven by my dad's work and I spent almost all of it in international schools in foreign countries. This contributed to the fact that I feel no loyalty or belonging towards any one country or state. All this has amounted to this constant feeling of wanting to go someplace new or move away from where I am. 

Now I face the same situation, after being back in Sweden for around 6 months I have this crushing feeling of being caged, bored and missing out on what the world has to offer. I need to get away. Can anyone relate?

My fear is being moved again, i'm sick of it.

I'm sick of being a vagabond.

Yes, growing up my mother's job brought us to a new place nearly every year or so. Then being in the military moved me from place to place every six months to a year. I managed to stick it out in a few places for a couple of years, but then always got the itch to move. Right now I'm forced to stay in one place for nearly half a decade and it's almost painful. It puts me on edge knowing that I can't pick up and leave on a moments notice, but I figure that it's a good test of my ability to remain stable for a given solid period of time. My goal is to finish this as quickly as possible.

The issue doesn't just extend to geographical location but friendships and romantic relationships as well. The purpose of the harem was to rotate my attention when bored. The initial anxiety of a committed relationship wore off after realizing that I'm not being constrained by my partner. I also keep several separate friend groups that divide attention between as I get bored or become familiar with one.

I'm quite surprised that I've stuck around here.

What is it that made you want to change location or move someplace new? For me it's mostly the fact that I want to be where the action is, where things are moving forward fast and constantly changing around me, I love creative dynamism. Or at least that's what I thought, but looking back I've been in those places yet still felt the same crushing feeling of being bound to one spot.

I think that the new place will be interesting and exciting. New people, new things to see, new entertainments... But after a while it feels like I'm being confined and restricted. The same patterns and dynamics keep repeating in the area. There's excitement in going to a new place with a different culture and learning to blend in to it. Once I do, the thrill is gone and i'm left with crushing routine.

I've moved around a lot over the years, so I can definitely relate to feeling caged, but I've noticed that it doesn't matter where I go because I still feel that way. (I don't feel any sense of fear with it though)

I feel caged by society, expected to live by rules and laws I don't even agree with. I want to do what suits me and I want the world to accept it, but I can't be me because society is not accepting of the real me.

I feel alienated in society. It's a bit frustrating.

You should move to Afghanistan.

Go find somehere that's loaded with landmines and wave a huge American flag around.

Tell them that US news sources are the only ones that matter.

And shout from the rooftops how much allah sucks American dick.

You'll feel yourself moving forward faster than you've ever moved.

:D
