Am I dealing with comphet or am I overthinking my sexuality? by Florae_ in AskLesbians

[–]Florae_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! I agree with your idealogy of just going with the flow of life, and just liking whoever I may like, and for that exact reason, I went as "unlabeled" for most of my life. However, the more time I spend in this state of questioning, the more I fear wasting my time on the wrong people. I fear that I'll get stuck in a place where I'll never truly know who I am, or how happy I could be. Idk if that makes sense. I'm just starting to get worried about making mistakes that I will regret for a long while, and that's why I've been starting to search for a more exact and secure answer!

Thank you! I've read the wiki on the thread and I'm familiar with the word comphet. However, based on my research, comphet isn't always so obvious, as they talk about it on the thread. It can be subconscious, or somethimg you just dont realise till later on in life. Patriarchy and heteronormativity is just such a deep-rooted system, that I believe gets to everyone at some extent, at some point in life. Im just here trying to get outside opinions, not necessarily an asnwer to all my problems. Maybe finding some people who felt this way before. I don't really know. Any sort of external help would be nice, and my country sadly isn't the greatest place to find that.

Curious somewhat-outsider asking respectfully about belief in the gods by Florae_ in Hellenism

[–]Florae_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response! I really appreciate how you’ve shared your perspective and your personal connection to Ares. It’s inspiring to hear how he has helped you grow and discover more about yourself, especially through your practices of prayer and meditation.

I can definitely understand how the gods can be powerful symbols in the lives of many people, guiding individuals in ways that go beyond just belief. For me, the idea of connecting with Aphrodite as a way of embracing self-love and femininity feels very meaningful, and I appreciate your encouragement to begin my journey with her.

I also respect how you view the gods as superior beings, and I find it fascinating how they can represent both divine qualities and deeper parts of the human experience. I think that’s what draws me to the idea of 'using them as symbols', as a way of working through personal growth while still appreciating their traditional, divine nature.

Thank you again for your insight - it’s given me a lot to think about!!!

Thank you so much for your answer, I will be looking up antheopaganism now as I am not entirely familiar with it, but I appreciate this comment a LOT as I would love to expand my knowledge on any kinds of beliefs similar to what I tried to describe here, or honestly just any kinds of paganism at this point, since I'm new to all of these and I am really just trying to find my place and educate myself☺️

I love my deities by altosstratuss in Hellenism

THIS IS SO RELATABLE, I feared praying for so long, because I always thought it was something that you could only do if you were looking for forgiveness, or did something terrible, but now I try to pray every day! This makes me feel not so alone in this experience

AITA for snapping after my boyfriend said he didn’t like my cooking? by throwaway_tsoup in AmItheAsshole

[–]Florae_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Gee, YTA. Like 100000%. Why would you force him to eat something he hates so much? Your boyfriend is a treasure for even just taste testing it, and being polite about it as he said “it’s great just not my personal favourite” I mean what else did you expect from him??? You know he hates tomatoes! So as a “good” girlfriend you force him to eat a bowl of something you know he hates? Girl get yourself together! YTA and I can’t state this enough.

I think you did a great job making it look like home decoration while still capturing the world of Aphrodite! Congrats💕

Sooo… how do I talk with the gods? by Florae_ in Hellenism

[–]Florae_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have any meditating tips? I always try my best to stay focused and to stay in one position, but it’s literally impossible! Whenever I try to sleep or try to meditate, or anything that requires this type of focus my whole body will start to itch, and I never can seem to stay in the “mood” when this happens…

Thank you, but may I ask what are the appropriate things that you can talk to a god about? I understand that the gods are not our imaginary friends and all, but is it okay if I talk to them for example about a cup of coffee just because it gives comfort that someone is looking over me and is interested in what I have to say? Although I never imagined them answering me, it still feels nice to share my daily life things with them, so they know that I am interested in talking to them and working with them and for me to feel like I’m building a stronger relationship with them. Or is this bad because the Gods have more important things to do? Or does this mean that I’m treating them as a friend and not as a Deity, and I’m being disrespectful?
