I'm sure my good experiences outnumber my memory, but here's one that comes to mind. While on a military base for my annual week of police in-service training, I had a coworker come into the bar after hours and tell me that the front gate guards were holding a guest there for me. I couldn't...

Greyson, many of us here can relate to your experience and feelings more than you know. And I won't try to dismiss them as unwarranted either since your situation is so common - people too busy or consumed with their own lives to notice or care about others. I do offer two counter measures...

Welcome Noveleater. Glad to see someone from PH here, even if it is for distraught reasons. The others have made the point well: going back might be nice, but since it's not an option (in most cases), we can only look forward. So, make a plan on how you're going to overcome this challenging...

Rjisbyhimself, I enjoyed your long response and can appreciate, understand, and relate entirely to it. I too have received a few negative responses for my uninvited, friendly outreach efforts, and that's enough to curb any future assertiveness with strangers. My last one while sitting at a bar...

Welcome to the forum Shy_Guy_85. Feel free to post a piece of your life and garner the responses. You'll probably find many here can relate and offer support.

And if 4 counter supports isn't enough, I'll add another. In my experience, life was equally interesting, active, and fun throughout my 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. To feel old at your age is entirely unwarranted, but feeling behind on your life's plan or goals is a valid concern that many...

I have a limited number of bad decisions in life to regret, but I remember them often and never let go of the guilt. I know God forgives me, but I seem unable to forgive myself - more often for being stupid than being immoral. In either case, it's a burden to bare, but sometimes our mistakes...

Welcome to the site Iskandaria. You'll find a variety of people here, but most are supportive, making it a safe venue to explore and vent.

Welcome to the site Sayheykid. I probably haven't seen every member's post here, but it's possible that you may qualify as your state's only representative.

I think most of us on this website are single and/or lonely. And while some posts claim eventual success at being anti-social, I don't believe it's the genuine preference or right solution. I maintain that we were created for a purpose in life - to love God and to learn how to love others. The...

Rvanson, welcome from another senior citizen missing the America we grew up in. It'll never be the same or come back, but I fight to slow the degredation process down any little way possible.

Martin73, interesting thread you've added here. Of the many forum sites I've reviewed or worked the past few years, I've found a mixed environment of congeniality. It seems like religion and politics bring out the worst in people when it comes to tolerance and respect. Let me summarize my...

August, that is a surprisingly irrational and ungrounded comment to make. First, you raised an issue that is certainly religious in nature and asked for responses that encourage a religious discussion. You needn't like my point of view, but insisting afterwards that your topic can only be...

Yes, everyone here can sympathize with you on this scary event since it's something we all fear - being disabled in any way. I agree with the others that you'll likely recover significantly with time and dedicated effort. Hopefully it'll be 100%, but even if you get back to 80-90%, I think...

That's a whole lotta negative in very few words Plautus, but enough for me to offer a few comments. If you don't get along with anybody, then either you're exaggerating (as we all often do to make a point) or you probably have a character problem that needs some work. Just sayin', even bad...

Realitybites2022, you've seen the light in your own discourse, thanks to some good responses. Life isn't fair, since most people are naturally takers rather than givers. Giving time, attention, care, or money is an act of love, and it takes a concerted effort to offer that when its not...

Lady Grey, what a nice, encouraging compliment, thank you. I recognize that few here appreciate my view or my videos, but my time and effort is worthwhile if it helps a single soul. The video above is oriented towards someone who has a belief and faith in God. I'm glad you liked it, but In...

As expected, there's a wide variety of views here, including fair skepticism. I'd suggest though that the existence of a soul, like the mind, is not entirely without scientific evidence. Might I say that there are at least two ways to defend the existence of an afterlife - through Biblical...

MazieG, your history and circumstances are too incomplete and complex for anyone to offer a simple cure here, but let me add a different perspective by asking: how do you judge success or failure with yourself and your life? If that self-identity view affects your feelings, motivation, and...

Loner96_, as others have suggested here, your feelings of loneliness are shared by many, but I encourage you to relentlessly pursue relationships regardless of the obstacles. Heres my perspective on your situation: Your stuttering may hurt your confidence level and will inevitably affect...
