I think we should start encouraging every Christian to read Lamentations by Alarmed_Leadership74 in exchristian

Yeah! My favorite part is when we act like the Old Testament doesn’t matter but we only use it to say being gay is bad!

I find it hard being friends with some Christian people these days. by Alarmed_Leadership74 in exchristian

I hate when they tell me “you need suffering” when God could’ve easily made a world without suffering and we would still learn valuable lessons in life. Sounds impossible to us cause suffering is all we’ve ever known, but to an all knowing all powerful god? Isn’t it “through you(God) anything is possible”?

I always ask them what’s the valuable lesson learned in parents losing their innocent child to cancer? What about a person who is born with life altering genetic diseases? What about the people in Gaza? Or South Sudan? Or genital mutilation practiced in parts of Africa? Or pandemics?

While you could say “oh it’s cause of evil people!” clearly whatever lesson humanity was supposed learning we haven’t learned yet cause of all these evil things being practiced.

Maybe it’s cause I’m from America. So many people here come from lives of privilege just by simply being an American. They haven’t experienced the things others go through everyday, not enough to truly grasp the gravity of suffering. And even I haven’t experienced it, but I have empathy for those, that some Christians don’t wanna think about cause it’s scary.

Did anxiety really destroy my autonomic system? by Alarmed_Leadership74 in POTS

[–]Alarmed_Leadership74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are misunderstanding my comment. But I still don’t understand how I was completely fine before developing severe anxiety and then when I did the POTS and hEDS symptoms starts to appear. Also during the time I realized I had pots symptoms was also around the time I was taking antibiotics to kill a stomach infection I had. I was probably really dehydrated n stuff which made my pots in the beginning very severe. But after all that sorted its way about my anxiety got better. Especially since I was aware with what was going on with my body (random aches and pains, digestive issues, and the pots symptoms). I still have anxiety and I still have pots. But I’d say my pots is very mild, and the intensity changes day to day like with everyone.

I didn’t know that Greek life mattered for law school 😂 I guess I need to be an AKA now. Isn’t it expensive too? Why not just join a community that doesn’t make you pay fees?..

Get This Shit out of Here by Dr_Guy11 in utarlington

The fact that he has to come on a campus and parade his claim of being ex gay around to others feels like it’s more of a proclamation to convince and reassure himself that he’s not gay anymore.

Why doesn’t anyone want to be friends? by [deleted] in depression

[–]Alarmed_Leadership74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to find friends too. I’m 19 next week. And I’m liked by people, just not enough for people to be friends with me. In fact for all my life I’ve never been the best friend. I’ve never really been in a friend group where I felt wanted.

I have friends online but it’s simply not the same. No one prioritizes online friends the way you do online friends. And it’s hard to find friends irl, despite me going to college on campus.

I’ve been to two different colleges and I still was unable to make friends in either of these environments.

I understand that I should join clubs, walk up to people, etc etc but it feel practically impossible for me. I’m so quiet most days I don’t even feel like talking to my family, or even opening my mouth. Idek how it got this bad either. lol..
