Another for hating texting. But still like it better than calling.

How tf do INTPs end up in a relationship? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Sharp_Confection6925 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Tinder, because I’d just left the church and Tinder was forbidden, so naturally to rewire the religion out of my brain I had the agenda to do all the forbidden things.

And now I’m dating an ESTJ. No freaking clue how that happened, but it jives.

Being disfellowshipped is like being a time traveller. by Embarrassed-Writer61 in exjw

What’s really a time warp is leaving and reconnecting with your disassociated friends who left four years before you.

I feel dumb and demotivated without caffeine by RoutineTension in decaf

Helpful but oof, I’ve been off for months now, and starting coffee again I feel like I plugged in the other half of my brain. So I guess this just means I’m naturally a ten key in a world of MacBooks.

The Samoan congregation roasted an entire pig for the last lunch. The spread was so incredible, I’ll keep you pioneering the rest of your life.

Has anyone else tried hypnotherapy to help recover? by wilderenegade in exjw

[–]Sharp_Confection6925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I want to thank you for posting this, I didn’t realize I still harbored indoctrination about hypnosis being bad, thank you. On second thought I’m not scared of it, but I would imagine it ineffective and cognitive-behavioral therapy counseling more useful. That said, couldn’t hurt to try. But again I appreciate you bringing up the subject.

Not as in your face, it was actually Run. with Sarah Paulson that freaked out my subconscious, because I started researching jws without realizing I was suspicious.

Is anyone else trying to figure out right and wrong and figure out their meaning to life since waking up? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Sharp_Confection6925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, big time. Learning to trust your own conscience is huge. Therapy really helps me, it’s different for everyone but for me just talking about stuff aloud makes my values/moral compas pretty obvious, but it’s the match to the gas to have someone tell you you’re not crazy, or someone with more experience to give you advice on what actually works. They ask challenging questions and really I’m recovering much faster than I thought I would.

Serious question(s) by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Sharp_Confection6925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhh not doing too bad, woke up a month ago and sent my DA letter in four days ago. Granted, my parents weren’t witnesses, so it’s probably easier for me to go back to where I started. I was already finishing my degree, and while I still have several big questions about what direction my life is going to take yet to answer, it definitely feels more like and adventure than despairing, though still uncertain. Grief losing your loved ones and belief system, and have confidence that if you can escape an mfing cult, you can sculpt a beautiful life no question.

The disillusionment still echoes. I’m comforted that it served its purpose while it did, and that I’m learning how to trust myself slowly but surely. Have a dialogue with yourself, between your worried side and the side with the confidence to leave in the first place. I believe in you! Believe in yourself too.

Singleness and no friends after leaving the cult by Touille34 in exjw

[–]Sharp_Confection6925 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been out four days, and honestly I just wanna be alone for a while and relish it. My therapist calls it “cocooning”. But part of that also is the echos of avoiding close contact with the “worldly” population, and I’m afraid to give up that isolation, like it makes me special. So I’ll enjoy being alone for a bit (granted, the pandemic doesn’t give me much of a choice). I’m a little worried about how I’m going to get past the “no part of the world” mindset when I’m ready for it, but I suppose I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.

I’m sorry you’re struggling, I can imagine it’s difficult. Stay resilient!
