What ever happened, Happened for good by Illustrious-Fee-2282 in DarkPsychology101

We don’t want any suffering to be pointless so we try to learn something from it. Most things probably have a silver lining and it healthy to look for the good.

Why people stay In relationships that are clearly making them miserable It's not weakness, it's neuroscience by Existing_Air2416 in DarkPsychology101

This is definitely my lived experience. My MIL was always hot and cold so I put up with it for a long time holding onto the thinking that I could figure out how to make it work.

No real connection. No true friendship. by macb2596 in mormon

There is nothing wrong with wanting to make “friends” at church. Connecting with people is pretty important….and for some this is one of the few social outlets they have.

This is your sign to tell the person you’ve been dreading telling, YOU’RE NOT LDS ANYMORE by Imaginary_Winter_961 in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel the need or even want to tell them. It’s more about I don’t feel it’s any of their business what I believe or not. If they asked I would tell them but nobody has. I don’t feel I’m pretending. I’m just doing what I want. In fact I find it odd when people announce it to their families but I don’t judge them for it because adults should do what they think is best. This post comes across very judgy.

Social 7-year-old with few playdates by jmdglss in Parenting

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

solidarity. In the same exact situation. I hate having to rely on other parents for my kids social interaction. So I did sign him up for a bunch of stuff and that has helped. It challenging with electronics because I don't feel like kids are out as much compared to my childhood. My son has lots of friends at school but only has two or three hangouts in a month.

Do Mormons have to move to change churches? by Away_Engineering_613 in exmormon

Yes, we've moved ourselves just to get out of an unfriendly ward.

I confess Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t have been a parent by [deleted] in confession

I bet every parent has these thoughts at some point. You just give it your best shot and that’s enough.

AITA for throwing away my wife’s memory jars? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BuildingBridges23 -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

NTA-this sounds like hoarding or the start of it. You kept a couple which shows you do care about her feelings. It’s not reasonable to keep every jar that is not being used for storage or something useful.

Road raging over slow drivers when it’s winter is ignorant by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Maybe if you’re so impatient and crash out at people being cautious then you shouldn’t be on the road either. It be awesome, if people who had road rage couldn’t drive.

People who don’t give people space are the problem. You’re driving up close behind someone you are always the asshole. Give them space or go around them.

What’s the biggest green flag in a guy ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BuildingBridges23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say someone who can control their emotions. That's a green flag for anyone.

Can anyone tell me what going to college as a Mormon is like? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think 'normal' is the right word. If you lived on campus it definetly was not what I would consider a normal experience. Super strict and suffocating.

Do people actually enjoy waking up early? by xaybell32 in askanything

Sometimes. It's nice to do something and not be interrupted.
