I would be a stray cat.

Not really feeling like I belong anywhere.
Hang out with other strays, not knowing where they belong.
Not trusting of people; prepared to claw if they try to pet me.
Wanting a warm place to stay but feel undeserving
Willing to accept scraps instead of pursuing a confident existence
Suspicious of kind acts; thinking it is most likely a trap or dog catcher and I will end up in the pound counting down my days of survival.
Jumpy and run at the sound of any loud noise.
Feel safe when hidden
