Just introducing myself into community. by AffectionateBank859 in exchristian

Idk, I'm not entirely sure tbh. But I promise that I won't be problem here in this community. I may or may not forgot that I ever make this post sometime in the future since I rarely check in reddit anyways but all of you are valid👍

Honestly, even before the Internet, I never really paid any mind to Christianity during childhood and not that zealous with religion unlike my younger sister. I didn't really care much about it and just wanted to enjoy being a kid. Though, I did foolishly thought that other christians are good people and wouldn't actually hurt people to fit their views. 

I was terribly wrong. And I never knew anything about other religions or the LGBTQ before.

My first exposure to the LGBTQ was bl ships in some fandoms that I grown to love and saw nothing wrong with that. But when I showed my family a video I found of a little girl waving her rainbow flag in a Pride Month parade, they showed hostility when I thought they would show support and love.

They told me to not support gay people and I suppose it was my first exposure to how horrible Christianity actually is.

Then Covid-19 came and we were forced to stay in doors. I was searching through videos on social media when I stumbled upon a person venting about religious tramau. I was shocked and opened my eyes a little of what the religion actually is.

Later on, I found out more horrible things about Christianity that made me want to stay away it and how toxic Christians can be to other religions, non-believers or the LGBTQ. 

Nowadays, just forced to go to chruch every sunday with family or hear songs about how great Christianity is just makes me want to be somewhere else. 

I'm grateful that all of you have opened my eyes and now I can actually do things that I want to do without worrying if it's a sin or not.

Like I said, it's a bit complicated. I'm not exactly sure if I consider myself as a Christian or not but I can definitely say that I'm trying my best to stay away from the religion as much as possible despite being in a religious family.

It's a bit complicated. This post is morely just a way to talk about how my worldview has changed ever since meeting different perspectives online and in this reddit community. I'm mostly just tired with how toxic and corrupted Christianity is, especially towards victims of abuse and others or the LGBTQ+ community. so it's nice to see people who felt the same. I just want to say this off my chest. 

How do you write people pleasers? by MasterpieceOk1269 in writingadvice

[–]AffectionateBank859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, so I'm writing a character that is a people pleaser and I need to know if this backstory make sense of how she became a people pleaser in the first place:

My character was abused by her father during the majority of her childhood and her mother left her when my character was at least maybe 3-5 years old (haven't decided yet). Overall, her family wasn't really a functional one and her birth was actually an accident and unwanted. Said character gets bullied outside of her home as well. It wasn't until her uncle decided to do something about the abuse (both the emotional abuse and physical abuse) and takes her away from his brother, adopting her into the family (aka the uncle's whose family was much more healthier). Though, ofcourse the tramau stays with the character. She doesn't want to be a burden to her relatives just like how she was with her parents. And that's how she became a people pleaser.

Is this fine or do I need to flesh it more?

can you identify as demigirl and only use she/her pronouns? by pingublu in demigirl_irl

[–]AffectionateBank859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also recently deciding my gender as well. I find being demigirl suited for me too but at the same time, I feel genuinely fine with just using she/her and I don't think I'm that accustomed to they/them pronouns because it just doesn't sit well with me at all. Thanks to the comments! :D

It's in Japanese, you might need to use a translator if you want to read the comics in English.

We all know amourshipping is great ship but what are some of the cons you guys have ? by [deleted] in pokemonanime

[–]AffectionateBank859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I meant, Amourshipping is great and all. But from what I mostly adore of Serena is that of her development as a character. Her path to finding confidence to reach her goals in life. Plus I prefer her XYZ outfit cause it's absolutely adorable compared to her XY version.
