Are You A Lost Soul? The Journey of Finding Yourself
You’ve found yourself here because for the majority of your life you have felt like you don’t fit in, you don’t belong, and no one around you can truly understand how lost you feel. You’ve experienced moments of “fitting in”, but upon reflection you see that you shape-shifted like a chameleon in order to try and fit.
I’ve been there. I know what the voice inside your head sounds like, the one that is constantly telling you that you aren’t good enough. The feeling within you of being a lost soul, surrounded by darkness, unable to find the feeling of being home.
This blog will break down the signs and symptoms of being a lost soul, why you’ve felt this way your entire life, and how to step into your spiritual power through the journey of finding yourself.
You are a Spirit, a light-being, an awakened one.
The Universe has guided you here to this place because there is something more for you than feeling like you belong in a society that is conditioned to stay small. You are here to create a new path, to break free from the conditioning that limits you, and to show others what it means to be an awakened spirit by living in your soul truth.
Signs + Symptoms of Being A Lost Soul
As a spiritual mentor and intuitive guide I’ve noticed there are several different signs and symptoms of being a lost soul, as we are all affected in our own unique way. Here is a breakdown of the most common signs and symptoms you may experience or notice in others.
1 - Never Feeling At Home
You’ve worked hard to create a life for yourself, yet you have this constant nagging feeling within you where you never feel at home.
Surrounded by your family you feel separate, and you’ve always wondered if everyone feels this way.
2 - Constantly Moving, Looking for the Next Place to Set Down Roots
The feeling of being lost has sent you on a mission to find the place where you belong. Without even realizing it, you’ve taken this on as an external problem, meaning your surroundings will be what allow you to feel at home.
You move to a new place, feel a sense of excitement for the first 6 months or so, but shortly thereafter you begin to realize this may not be the place for you. This pattern repeats itself several times before you begin to realize, wherever you go you feel like a lost soul.
This sign rings true for me, in 12 years I moved to a different town 7 times. That is an average of living 1.7 years in one place. I was constantly trying to find the place for me, the place where I would feel at home, the place where it finally felt like I could live the life I was meant to live.

3 - Staying In Your Hometown, Yet Forever Feeling like You Don’t Belong
You haven’t made any big moves, you may have strayed away for a short period of time, but eventually made your way back to your hometown.
Your hometown carries the energy of your childhood and there is some feeling of nostalgia keeping you there. At the same time there is a feeling that if you are lost here, then you can’t even imagine how you might feel somewhere else.
The symptoms that you experience are a result of feeling like a lost soul.
1 - Constantly Feeling Pressured to Do More
You live in a world that was programmed to believe their productivity is what makes you who you are. Being a lost soul triggers this pressure more so because you have a deep desire to belong somewhere.
If you keep taking action from pressure, you keep accomplishing things, then eventually that feeling of belonging will come. But this isn’t true.
2 - Shape-shifting and People Pleasing
You lead yourself from the perspective of, “if I become who they need me to be, then I will feel like I belong”.
Your outward actions are triggered from the root of being lost, and if someone else’s perception of you is good, then maybe you will find the place you belong.
The signs and symptoms of being a lost soul are vast, and being able to pinpoint the triggers and patterns you experience is the beginning of healing this feeling of being a lost soul.
Why You’ve Felt This Way
There is a specific reason as to WHY you feel like a lost soul. Your soul is begging you to awaken to your inner home, yourself.
You feel lost in this world because you are not of this world, you came from somewhere else. Your Spirit doesn’t align with a lot of the societal beliefs, conditioning and programming you took on as a child.
You aren’t a lost soul, you are a disconnected soul.
You are disconnected from yourself, the universe and your true purpose in this lifetime.
Something major will happen in your life, it probably already has happened, to wake you up spiritually. You have awakened to recognize that you are a Spirit and your journey is about healing, learning, growing and evolving as a Spirit.
You aren’t lost.
You simply need to focus on connecting more deeply with yourself. Understanding yourself from a new perspective. Awakening your light, your purpose and your gifts while healing your shadows and transmuting your triggers.
It’s time to find yourself.
The Journey of Finding Yourself
You don’t need to go somewhere specific, meaning a location or environment, to find yourself. It’s a journey inwards of uncovering yourself, excavating past the conditioning and limiting mindsets in order to tune into your natural vibration as a Spirit.
When you begin to prioritize your soul connection, you will feel a sense of belonging more than ever before. Why do I know this to be true? When you uncover the voice of your soul you begin to attract all the people, opportunities, and experiences that make you say, “this is where I was always meant to be”.
You feel like you don’t belong because you’ve been trying to fit into a society or a space that you weren’t meant for. You have been keeping yourself small, trying to fit into the box that others told you you were meant for.
Your life isn’t about following someone else’s path and it’s not about letting someone else tell you where you should go and what you should do. Your life is about leaning into the gut feeling asking you to walk away from something; it’s about seeing what triggers you and choosing to heal that wound within; it’s about listening to the voice of your soul guiding you to follow your passions.
You are not a lost soul, you are a disconnected spirit.
It’s time to come home, to yourself.
Your external world is not what creates a sense of belonging. Your inner world is where you more easily embody the feeling of belonging.
Even as a Spirit you may know that Earth is not your true home, yet you’ll see more clearly why you are here and that will give you purpose in this lifetime.
