I worked for a company in a foreign country and I know I didn't belong. They made it known too, well the team I was hired to supervise. My interview panel believed in me but the rest of the division didn't, as well as a lot of the Snr members and they even petitioned my appointment. I stuck it out and showed them that I was more than capable of doing the job and that I was the best person for it. They didn't know any different because it was the first time the company hired outside instead of promoting internally. They didn't know who I was and what I was capable of doing and after several months they saw how much of a good person I was, and how well I exceeded their expectations. If you really want to make things work even though you know or feel you don't belong, you work hard at it and prove that you do belong. If they don't accept you then they are the ones with the problem and not you. Well that is how I saw it and it was hard for them to let me go when we left three years later for the USA.

yes, you have a point..... but how can I cope up in that situation, if I really feel I don't belong...I'm just trying to be someone like an idiot everyday, because nobody can appreciate my existence??

It might mean also that you may need to move on if you cannot fit in.
