The Men That Don’t Fit In

Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

I was addicted to many drugs from the age of 13 until early this year in January. I’m 35 this week on the 23rd of November. I hit rock bottom and decided enough was enough I had to change things or I was gonna end up dead. I’ve been t-total since January and this year I’ve found a peace inside I thought i would never find. I’ve lost a lot of “friends” that I used to hang around with since I changed my life. There’s a freedom and a peace to be found in being yourself and not fitting in that you can’t find anywhere else. Thanks for your videos I’ve watched a few of them and I’ve found a lot of wisdom and things that make sense to me. God bless you brother

The path of the "shepherd" is very lonely. For the "shepherd," wandering while guarding and leading the flock of "sheep" can be a very lonely experience. However, there may come a moment when you meet a shepherd like yourself. This is rare, but it does happen occasionally. All you have to do is open your heart and listen to everyone who comes your way; suddenly, you will see how many others like you there are. This channel? It is designed specifically for "shepherds." Look at the number of views, the number of comments, and all of them, without exception, are full of humanity and compassion. So, do not despair nor shy away, tell yourself: "This is my way; here and only here, I fit in."

Started working at 12 in construction but was never formally taught anything and ended up picking it up on my own through 10+ years. Father is skilled in many trades yet never taught me one. We don't really speak, not even in the 10 hours at work. -Working effectively by myself in all/most things -In boxing and education, I learned more by myself than with a coach or teacher. They mostly refused or had ran out of patience before I could ask them to. -Unintentionally hurt women in romantic relationships just being myself though being kind/lenient with them. I appear to lack the ability to be human or understand them and can be distant at times which leads to many misunderstandings. I still feel lonely and not just in a romantic sense but overall as a human being. -When younger, I usually got ganged up on, abused, and was persecuted for my beliefs though not fitting in the church either. Isolated by my mother so my mind wouldn't be corrupt with worldly ideas. The only obedient child of 5 yet treated like a "bastard child" for being so. Not allowed friends or to go outside. When I was rightfully angry, I was locked in my room and left punching myself or the wall until I fell asleep. I've been an AB student with high paying scholarships, boxed a 2022 GG Champion, and a single 5'9 fit 22 year old with 10 years of construction experience and can't seem to fit in or succeed in anything.

I think the problem with someone like Jordan Peterson is that he greatly underestimates the fact that a great deal of young men who are lonely or don't fit in aren't losers. They might be eccentrics, creative types, autistic types and other people who are just inherently different and that these individuals are a minority but they're not exactly rare. Regardless of that, atomisation and living in a hyperindividualistic society which also strongly favours extroverts doesn't help either.

Til the day we reach our goal, a welcome home, in this world, we never grasp.

Dear sir, I’ve never felt like I’ve fit in. I’ve worked in national parks from Yosemite, Mount Lassen, Headwaters National Park out in Humboldt County California, and The Grand Canyon. I look around me, at the people who are around me, and I just have a hard time trying to relate with them. What I’ve seen and done, I can’t look at towns and cities and I can’t get comfortable with any of it. In short, thank you for this video.

This resonated with me on an emotional level I didn't even know I had. I'm 19. I've never "fit in" by any stretch of those words. I've got autism, am mixed race, am infatuated with the outdoors and nature, and for some reason always have questions about everything. Since I was a wee homonculus I could tell that "fitting in" wasn't really for me. Always found other people difficult to be around, and would prefer making friends with birds and frogs instead. Knew that the typical life most men go down didnt sound fulfilling to me. By this point I still don't "fit in", but I've been learning more about myself and what truly drives me in life each day. I think not being preoccupied with reaching some goal, or trying harder to "fit in" has given me room to truly discover what I want in life, and appreciate the present in a way that most folks aren't able to nowadays. Whether you're able to comfortably fit into some societal box or not, this life is the one and only one you've got to live. To me, it seems a bit silly trying to force oneself to "fit in" when there is so much more in the world worthy of your energy and time.

Jobson of the Star is another great poem by Robert Service. It tells a little more of the story of the men that don't fit in. I feel there is a lot of sarcasm in his work and his mention of being a failure for not fitting in is said with a touch of that, only having failed to measure up to a standard that other people put on us, not the measure of man inside ourselves. His life and experience is a testament to that. Hope some of you get a chance to read more of his work, thank you for sharing his poem and your thoughts on it. Love to hear Robert Service mentioned in modern society, please please keep reading his works. Thanks for what you share with the world, inspiring and heartfelt. Really looking forward to listening to the podcast.

I've never fit in either. I've struggled really hard throughout my life trying to lead the life we're all meant to aspire to. I've had no real ambition, I just want to be. But I've let it beat me and I've never done anything with my life, no kids, divorced 20 years ago, still alone, dead end job. I don't know how to make it right. I don't even know what making it right would look like. Robert Service is a favourite of mine too. The march of the dead is my favourite.

I don’t fit in at work. I’m uniquely me and nothing like everyone else I work with. I do historical Viking reenactment as a hobby, paint Warhammer miniatures, I drink out of a clay mug at work, and smoke a pipe or cigar when on my break. I wear a flat cap and will do absolutely everything for people I think deserve it, but won’t be disrespected by anyone. I will do anything to protect my personal peace. Good or bad, intended or not, I leave an impression on people and people know exactly who I am once they’ve met me. I have noticed some people love being round me, and some shy away from me because I’m always honest with myself and who I am, I pick up very quickly when people are being false with me. 31 and happier with who I am right now than what I’ve ever been

John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I agree with your commentary about this. Fitting in, in my mind, can be a trap. In order to fit in, one may need to think exactly like those one seeks to fit in with. We each have our own destiny, with thoughts and needs that enrich our own spirits. We should thank God for those men who may not fit in, as some of the greatest men who ever lived didn’t fit in, and the world is better for it.

I appreciate watching this video. I have always felt like I didn't fit in, at work, at church(even though my beliefs align with other believers). I never wanted to follow the crowd, do what they do or think like they think. I spend most of my time by myself and my loyal K-9 companion. I'm 68 now, never married or had kids. I used to and occasionally still think that I have missed out on all the blessings life offers. Being alone hasn't been easy but it has helped me to grow gather strength, strength from above. I enjoy your videos and your prospective on life. I am in this world but not of this world. I am a pilgrim just passing through. Enjoying life and learning every day.

[@roadblockk363]

Thanks Dewayne for this needed message. For a long time I confused not fitting in as being lost in life. Seeking directions from those who chose to fit in, misinterpreting the nagging sensation to a lack of discipline, rather than discerning that I do not fit into this pretense mold of success. True, I never saw riches as a measure of success, but I did follow the trend of destination driven goals. This created within me a need to consider and reconsider this " if they just went straight" path, before even taking steps. I do believe in discernment and calculating the cost, but I have come to realise more and more - and thanks to this video - that I need to allow my steps, my actions, the journey to be my goal. Thanks yet again for this reminder. As for me, I better get moving, there is plenty to discover.

Father, who served but lost his life to addiction when I was 20 and a mother who estranged the family before I even knew her face, when you said the "men who are not at peace, may never fit in" speaks true to heart. I knew among my peers that there was something fundamentally different, that through those past experiences, that I had a different value of life than those around me. I went on the path of Art, and found that an exploration of ideas that fundemntally connect us and explore new frontiers. It is a prospect that excited me. I went to art school in NY but short of a decade I left, because I didn't really fit in, and we'll not many commercial prospects due to the type of work I was making. So I took the leap and now I'm in Japan, and the country out here is breathtaking, I feel like I'm getting closer to my peace and exploring new possibilities in my art. I thank you Dwane for the insight and encouragement to walk the path less traveled.

Hoss, this is one of the best videos you have put out! There is so much freedom in the words you spoke on this subject. I am with you and one of those men that don’t fit in. My life verse is “Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you,” 2 Cor‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬. The journey and experiences within are the destination. I am 43 and it took me until my late 30’s to figure out it’s not only ok to not fit in the mold of what an American man is supposed to be, but it’s a true blessing to walk in the freedom of the journey. Doesn’t mean I’m a bum or homeless person and I don’t take responsibility - in fact I’m happily married to an amazing wife and mother, have 4 awesome, responsible and intelligent kids who we homeschool, successful job, a blessed home and money in the bank.
