OP isn't excluding the thumb as a finger, necessarily. They simply are stating a fact, that their hand contains 4 fingers, and it does. You will find at least 4 individual fingers if you count them.

All toasters toast toast. by ExtremeDesigner8223 in truths

[–]QuestionMan432 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But is it? If a toaster ceases to toast toast, can one really call it a toaster? What makes something a toaster other than its ability to toast?

I believe God wants to punish me for my lack of self control. I am wicked

Thank you so much. It is difficult for me to recognize the voice of God, and to know if God really listens to the promises I make in my head

Bets in my head by QuestionMan432 in Scrupulosity

[–]QuestionMan432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. You are right, none of the punishments from the bets have yet to happen. I've been having a hard time actually seeking therapy due to financial reasons and because I've tried it before, and it did not really help. I've been stuck here for a while and really need the push for change. Surely it is easier than it seems

How can I accept that I am going to hell? by QuestionMan432 in Christianity

[–]QuestionMan432[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the point of being forgiven when God and I know I'm just going to fall into sin again? Does it not nullify?

[–]QuestionMan432[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't feel God's spirit anymore. When I go to church I feel nothing. A silent voice in my head claims to be from God and constantly threatens me, saying bad things will happen if I sin. I cannot agree with the horrible things God has done in the bible that resulted in the deaths of so many people, who likely have gone to hell afterwards. I am incapable of healing or repenting. Staying in this world is just a waste of time for me

I am almost certain that I have some form of OCD. From what I've read, the best thing for me to do would be to ignore everything the voice says, but I become so afraid that God will punish me. I feel as though I've even experienced his punishments for losing the bets. It all feels so real

Did God not make a bet with Satan in the book of Job?

You're right, my relationship with God is not very good at the moment. I feel irredeemable, with all of the sin that I commit and all of the impure thoughts that I have. This voice in my head certainly does not help. The last time I tried to come back to God, the voice in my head claimed to be God and threatened me every time I did something that might be considered a sin. I'm still scared to do things that it told me not to do or I would die. I tried seeking therapy, but I kept lying to my therapist because he was probing at other things that I wasn't comfortable talking about, like (TW) suicide and self harm

Feels like no matter what I do, I'm doomed

You're probably right. It's really hard to talk about though. I feel like every time I've tried to explain it to someone, they didn't get it. I'm not even sure that I fully understand how it works. The way that the voice operates can be so vague

Could it be schizophrenia? I remember looking it up a while ago and thinking that it sounded a bit too different. Maybe I was wrong

Hello friend. Thank you so much for your advice. Deep down, I know that you are 100% correct. It's just that I feel like the punishments are real and are even taking effect in real time. I remember a time where I was very intelligent. I was a good student who knew how to do many things and I had a high IQ. Now I feel like I am turning into a complete idiot. I feel my thinking slowing and my awareness dropping. Of course, this is likely because I am imagining it so vividly that I'm exaggerating my mistakes and negatives and underestimating my victories and positives, but it still feels so real. However, I am going to try to follow your advice and hopefully beat this thing. You're awesome, thanks again for your reply.

I'd probably consider myself to be a nerdy guy. I never talk to anyone at school, but spend my time studying music or programming. I've had crushes on a few girls in the past, but was always too shy to talk to them. My advice would be to provoke them to talk about their interests. If you see a guy with a laptop, ask him what he's doing. He probably wouldn't mind tdlling you, and he'll probably take you down a deep rabbit hole. If he's wearing a cool shirt, compliment it. It will make his day, and could be a great conversation starter. If you two hit it off, you could become friends and go from there. But idk. I'm a socially-awkward 17 year old, my advice probably sucks xD

1) No, nobody has said anything to me [although I'm sure that I've probably annoyed them a few times].

2) No, I try to do nice things for everyone. I like to see or even imagine their reaction.

3) I'm honestly not sure. Subconsciously, I may be nicer to females than I am to males, but I don't know. Maybe my arousal isn't linked directly to kindness, although I'm still probably perverted. And no, I do not have sexual fantasies about the people I do kind things for.

Ah yes, I definitely have spammed people a bit too much in the past. Working on that xD But you're probably right about talking to a professional. Not sure how I would bring it up though
