You can feel unwelcomed anywhere. The point is if can you stay or not. And you can stay here.

This is a metaphor to life basically.

Don't search for niceness, search for true freedom. Which in the end is the true stability. Learn to be comfortable in chaos and you'll find your true self, instead of what other people told you that you are or need to be.

Experiences are individualized. There are people, like you, who deal well with hostility/chaos. Others, for example, will have their mental health compromised.

Do not generalize experiences. They are individual and each person knows the pain they can endure.

Depends on what level we're referring to. Experiences are individualized AND common to everyone.

Buddhism teaches this and modern psychology is reaching the same conclusion.

Basically it's pretty clear by now that certain things make us feel better than others, regardless of who or what stage of life we're in.

In other words, believing that your experience is only yours is perhaps the greatest enemy and the path to misery, and the current state of the culture in our society. That's basically what the Buddhist call attachment. We attach to identities, ideas, of us, others, etc. This is the root of all suffering. And then there's patterns of attachment that are worse than others.

You can change if you understand, visualize and make a plan. I suggest Buddhism to everyone, it's truly an incredible philosophy.
