Opposites are concepts, actions, or characteristics that are considered completely different, or in the case of actions would do the reverse and/or undo the other.
Typical opposites are good/bad, stop/go, short/long, hero/villain, or light/heavy. Words that mean the opposite of each other, or nearly so, are antonyms.
Regarding people, "opposites" are those who do not share lifestyles, backgrounds, tendencies, opinions, and/or avocations. In relationships, the observation that "opposites attract" may be due the complementary natures of a pair, or to either's curiosity about activities that they have never tried.

There aren't opposites of every word. You could try "comfortable," which is the opposite in one way... or "at home," which is opposite in another way.

It really depends on what you mean. When you say "dislocated," do you mean painful and out of place? If so, you can come up with opposites for those things.
