Different world Quote by Justine Larbalestier
““Have you ever felt kind of..." She paused. "Detached from the world? As if you didn't fit in, and you weren't interested in what everyone else was interested in? As if you belonged in a whole different world?" "Everyone feels that way sometimes," I said. "But you eat chocolate until the endorphins kick in, and the crazy thoughts go away." I grinned at her.””

![“Before that experience, I had often felt the kind of alone that comes from the suspicion that you are not only genetically different from those around you, but different in your very soul...[then] I was a different kind of alone. I was alone and ashamed of myself...it was no one's fault but mine.” quote by Jillian Lauren](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/52d/jillian-lauren-24337_loneliness_before-that-experience-i-had-often-felt_735731.jpg)
