I shouldn't be Alice.what does that meaning? The title "I shouldn't be Alice" is based on a typo I made. I meant to write "I shouldn't be alive" (which ie alice instead of alive, and thought "I shouldn't be alice" sounded interesting ㅋㅋㅋ."I shouldn't be alive" was a tv show about people who had survived accidents miraculously It shouldn't have been possible to survive, but they did.

Hmm - an interesting thought. I am Alice, but I should not be? Or more specifically - my name should not be Alice? Like the original, it mainly sounds like a book or movie title to me. Two scenarios come to mind... Firstly - is that the writer is unsure of their sex - i.e. she feels like she is really a man - i.e. may be transgender. The second is that perhaps she has found out that she was mixed up at the hospital at birth, and given to the wrong family. The family she grew up with called her Alice, but the other family would have called her something else...

I just read your additional details. In an amazing coincidence, I was actually the post-production coordinator on that show, and made the same typo several times when working on it. I thought it seemed familiar: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2468672/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Can you give us the context, please? It's hard to tell without knowing a bit more about where you read/heard this sentence. Thank you!
