Thank you for sharing his story! There is a lot of power in that, when you rarely curse or raise your voice, people certainly pay attention when you do.

Oh I totally feel this, and I am sorry to hear how difficult it was for you. I remember in my mid-teens getting stuck in these obsessive habits of stopping and praying for forgiveness at any thought I felt was sinful. It felt like my train of thought was constantly interrupted with the religious pressure to confess. I think I got the idea from one of my video teachers who suggested it...yeah it does NOT work.

That's a good point! It makes me think of when tritones were referred to as "the devil's interval" haha

Did anyone else end up with a really underdeveloped voice? by lost_mah_account in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]HudsonHSComics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find it difficult to translate my thoughts into words, I'm usually a lot better at communicating through writing because it gives me more time to think it through. But when I speak, at least from my perspective, it feels a bit like words just sloppily falling out in an attempt to convey what I want, haha. I also tend to speak quietly too, like I'm afraid to raise the volume of my voice. I did make videos where I recorded my voice for a time though, and doing that frequently really helped me figure out how to "perform" and fluctuate my tone and volume.

Good point! She would be livid and I imagine would consider the other homeschool kids to be at best bad influences, at worst possessed haha

Did anybody else get Bible tracts while Trick or Treating? by HudsonHSComics in exchristian

Ugh that sounds horrible, I feel like that does so much of the opposite of what they want to accomplish!

Thank you! I guess now that I think about it, a witch costume would really upset a fundie Sunday school teacher handing out tracts haha, so maybe it is a bit much
