Do you ever think/say "I want to go home" but you actually ARE 'home'?

Home is where the heart is. It was your security blanket. Just need to find a way to calm yourself OP. A distractions. Sounds like you could be stressed or tense.

I do it too! Usually it's a sign for me to start doing things to bring down my anxiety levels.

Haha, nope. Nice reference tho. i guess I just dont feel comfortable / happy at 'home' as if it's not where I need to be.

Lucky you, you must be in a good place in your life

I feel like that sometimes. Trouble is I've moved around so much that I have trouble placing where exactly 'home' is.

I don't think it actually matters where you are in your life OP tbh. I've never felt at home in my cushy apartment with all mod cons and all the rest of it and a plush bed to sleep in at night. I just cannot relax in that environment, and I don't feel relaxed. I've always felt tense. I feel more at home and comfortable being in the company of people who are homeless, was never quite sure why, but it's a thought process I have to actively try to overcome constantly in order not to let my discomfort be seen by anyone else.

It's an odd one alright, but I don't spend too much time questioning it, I've just learned to adapt my lifestyle in order to cope with it.

Home is a state of mind, not so much a place. Usually it involves feeling secure and in control about your place in your world.

Standards of living are rising daily, but home sweet home is only a saying.

And don't get me started on blow up dolls.

Yeah I do feel like that at times but it's because I'm currently spending the year in Germany and I miss my family

I brought and lived in one house for 9 years and never felt fully comfortable in it...it was just a roof over my head I still cant put my finger on what was wrong with it. The more time I spend in this house the happier I am maybe its because my husband is here with me so it a home and not just a house.

My "home" doesn't really exist anymore

My parents have retired to another country, and have rented our family home out to a lovely young family who are just starting out in life.

Yeah I don't really have a physical 'home' either. We moved house when I was 9,14, then I moved out in my mid twenties. Since I moved out, my family have moved house again, and where I'm living now is just a temporary renting thing.
For me though, home is people. Family, friends, boyfriend. Where my family live is home as such, because I can always go there if I need anything like advice or a chat or even a dose of sympathy and looking after.
My best friends' house is like home because I go there, have a good aul chat and a laugh/cry and get tea in a good mug. I've my own room there ffs.

Home for me is being with people who make me feel secure.
