Monachopsismon-uh-kop-sis
n. The subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place, as maladapted to your surroundings as a seal on a beach, lumbering and clumsy, huddled in the company of other misfits, dreaming of life in your natural habitat, a place where you'd be fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.
Etymology
Ancient Greek povaxdc (monakhés), single, solitary + dic (dpsis), vision.
