I don't have to know your specific harm from past men or relationships CenotaphGirl to understand somewhat the feelings you harbor. It's a common occurence among many and I've heard enough stories to recognize the abundant hurt being dispensed from all sides against others - and that really...

Cenotaphgirl, for someone new to the faith, you display a surprising sense of understanding better than many professing Christians today - that all religions aren't the same, Jesus is the only way to God, and that we're not here by accident. That's not politically correct or culturally...

Welcome to the family that matters most Cenotaphgirl - God's church family. Don't expect unbelievers here to understand or praise your decision to follow Jesus, but your confession of faith has warmed my heart on this significant Easter morning. What you may not realize now is just how much...

Astros 2018, your plight sounds distressing but not hopeless as your feelings portray. First of all, don't suggest God hates you because your life is tough right now. The story of Job in the Bible discounts that idea, as does the painful, suffering lives of many Christians in the world past...

Wildman, you've revealed two of the most important challenges in life - reconciling relationships with God and people. Personally, I find the second one most difficult since people tend to be flawed creatures that constantly let us down. Allow me to stay on safer ground and give my perspective...

Welcome to the forum theicedout. I think the others here have done a fine job of encouraging you to look ahead rather than back, but allow me to add another, Christian perspective. As we go through life, we face constant challenges and decisions that build our character. Some people fail...

I'm surprised no one's answered up to this interesting prost yet. I know my response will not give you the recommendation you're seeking, but I offer it as a perspective for others to consider. First, if a person has any belief, respect, or concern for the God of the universe, they should know...

Welcome lonely-traveler, from another world wide traveler.

Minte, you'll qucikly find out that we're not like minded here, but there is a common thread of struggling with realtionships and life. Welcome to the forum.

Joshjames, your adventurous life does sound intriguing, especially for the many here that feel like social outcasts one way or another. I have a friend doing the same thing in central Texas and have shared his homesteading progress over the past few years. While your move from a city apartment...

Having an international phone number and system that doesn't work half the time, I can attest to using What'sApp and Skype extensively as my primary form of communication beyond email. I use both frequently for free messaging and face to face chats and have found them to be mostly reliable and...

From the 16th century explorers, to the 17th century pilgrims and settlers, to the 18th century Founding Fathers, and continuing to the mid 20th century, America has embraced Christianity. Though the secular educational system of today won't teach it and popular culture rejects it, there's a...

Welcome L&LO. I expect the majority of people on this site, along with much of the world's population share your feelings and experiences. Unless you're unusually attractive or famous, striking up conversations and befriending people takes work, effort, and assertiveness. Many just give up on...

Welcome Yaku. You may be a fully recognized continental representative on this site now.

Welcome Hundal.

Welcome Steve. I enjoyed my time and life in CA, though chose to leave upon retirement. It may be too expensive and culturally messed up, but it's geographically beautiful. Hope you're getting outside and enjoying your time there, and you needn't let being solo stop you.

I got my first taste of being a caregiver just 2 months ago during a visit with my 94 year old Dad. We both caught Covid, he took a bad fall, and I was the only one around when he suddenly lost most of his physical and cognitive abilities. I couldn't believe the daily and nightly issues we...

Welcome erwinkemmery. Youll find all kinds here, with most being supportive and friendly.

This is a common themed question on this site, and as usual I'll give my Christian perspective for all to consider or ignore - with no offense warranted. If the purpose of life is to love God and love people, which I believe to be the case, then life is worthwhile only if we pursue these two...

And thus, discussing the matter with others has helped you solidify your opinion and decision - which sounds rational and reasonable.
