Anyone else here dealing with some serious identity issues?

In a time when identifying with certain group and idealogies rains supreme I feel like I cant fully identify with any group. Perhaps that is the point of all of this? Its not about groups but the individual? Believe me I get it. I was a big time Ron Paul supporter for two election cycles because he didnt buy into that narrative. But guess what, he lost. Collectivism is king. Im not quite "biracial" because my father and mother both have european blood but their upbringings are very different. My dad came from the deep south and would be considered "white trash" while my mother is puerto rican and grew up in the projects of nyc. Religion drew them together which was pentacostalism but the sad thing is i cant identify with that religion. It just feels archaec. I just feel lost smh

You don't need to be part of a group. I have no identity group either OP. I don't even fit in with incels because I'm too nice to females. You are your own man.

Why is it a problem not to identify with a group? I don‘t even know what that would mean. You have your sense of self based on your inner core values. That‘s the only thing you can really identify with. Otherwise your sense of self becomes unstable and dependent on how you think others see you. Not a satisfying way to live.

Being Chinese born in the UK, I get that pull from 2 separate parts of your upbringing. In a way you always feel like an outsider as you don't really 100% identify with one group or the other.

I feel both of these. Tbh i could pass as "white" maybe if i dressed and got my haircut right but inside ill never feel white. Not even my dad who is white knows how to be white. He only knows how to rise up from struggle. He still worked a blue collar job for 30 years. So im basically like an immigrant in my own country.

Your identity can be broken down to the point where all that remains is the individual. Stopping at any point before that is entirely arbitrary and a tool used by those who seek to divide us. Individualism is the ultimate in collectivism.

Not naive at all and probably the best advice possible.

White people since about 1990 have had it much harder than any other ethnicity, can't get jobs because of affirmative action, can't get into college, looked down on by every other minority, the only people its legal to attack and be racist too with no consequences. Its the struggle

Nearly everyone in Western society is suffering an identity crisis because we have been subverted by a cunning and determined enemy.

I heard somewhere that YouTube disproportionately pump alien theory videos.

Personally I think in modern culture, alien & demon are interchangeable.

This brings me to the conclusion that the alien theory is disinformation & the real chit is demons.

The fact you are even worrying about this tells me you do not see enough value in yourself.

I agree with the above regarding the individual is what matters. You tie yourself to a group and you are setting yourself up for some cognitive dissonance. You see this with people that choose a sports team.

Read the book "true believer" by Eric Hoffer to get an idea where this need to be part of a group or movement goes.

If you want to be part of something you should start with family and community.

I am a bit jealous of Jews since they get to include religion, language, culture, family, and community. They get their own club.
