When You Don’t Belong Anywhere… Do This First?

When you don’t belong anywhere, it’s time to build your own special place, just like a kid who makes a cozy nook in the middle of a big room.

Imagine you're playing with your friends at the park, but none of them want to play your favorite game. It feels lonely because you’re not part of any group. That's what it’s like when you don’t belong anywhere, it feels like you're standing in the middle of a crowd, but no one notices you.

Sometimes, instead of waiting for someone else to invite you into their group, you can create your own place where you feel safe and happy. It's like taking out your favorite blanket and pillow from home and making a little corner in the park, your cozy spot.

You might not be part of anyone else’s game right now, but that doesn’t mean you have to play alone. You can just sit there, read a book, or draw pictures while everyone else is running around. Soon enough, other kids might come over and ask if they can join, and then you become the one who makes everyone feel welcome.
