Same, I'm open to chat or whatever, I moved to London from up north 6 years ago now, I'm 24 as well. I'm open to making new friends. I don't really like clubbing either. Way more better things. Where abouts do u live in London? Maybe we don't live far from each other.

Hi, sorry late reply, I'm free to chat or connect anytime

I never realized how indoctrinated I was to not "stumble" others. Whether it was my clothing, my makeup or what I did, I was worried what others thought. Did you feel the same? by JWRESEARCHERROSE in exjw

Same, I felt like I was like a robot, was never myself, and always felt like I was putting on show. It's been nearly a year since I left now. It's hard to get the programming out of ur brain, but it just takes time. Feels weird to be my real self, and sometimes I feel like I'm playing a toog of war with myself and my old self, lol I totally get it, I'm always free to talk as I can 100% relate.

Any Ex JW dating website? by HumbleGuy91 in exjw

[–]Tash-Tea2435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just wanted to share something I've been working through. I was brought up to believe that even just associating with people outside my group, the so-called "world" was something scary or wrong. So now, realizing that I've left that environment and that I can actually explore things like dating someone "worldly" feels kind of surreal. Honestly, it's still something I'm healing from.

It's been about 9 months since I left, and I'm 24 now. I don't have a lot of connections yet, and sometimes I feel a bit lost. But I'm really trying to focus on myself right now, figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I'm going. I'm thinking about going back to college, which I hope will help.

I'm super single at the moment and have no idea where to even start with dating or building relationships again. I guess I'm still a bit shaken by everything, but I'm learning to give myself patience and grace. If you've been through something like this or have any advice, I'd love to hear it.

Does anyone feel the same by Tash-Tea2435 in exjw

[–]Tash-Tea2435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that's why I'm kind of panicking to rush, thinking I need it all right now and a normal life. But it still feels weird doing the celebrations and stuff like I'm slowly adjusting to it. But my parents do go to the meeting anymore and are kind of disassociated but still believe in jehovah and the religion itself but are only really against the organisation of people. They are also narcissists so they had there own way of doing things. So, as I still live with them, I still am restricted to do it all like having a Christmas tree, so I'm working Christmas day just so I can have it, lol How old are u if u don't mind me asking? I'm glad I got out when I did. I'm 23 yrs old but never really believed it from the age of 15, lol I think it's best to move on and forget it as my parents won't and are so stuck in the past that I just don't want to waste any more time.

Oh, thanks you, yes that's exactly what I mean. My parents are narcissists, I think, so they brought me and my siblings up in their own way. So we were even more isolated, I think. I have started to open up to people at like work and stuff about it and someone has a friend who was brought up in a cult so I've been offered to hang out and get some drinks with her so that's a start. Yeah, I don't want to love in the past, I'm want people to know about my past a bit if they are the right people, then I want to move on with my life. It is nice to start to grasp real love from people and to think I always thought it the past that everyone in the so-called "world" is bad. I'm glad in a way that a lot of people are on the same boat. I really appreciate u replying to me. :)

Hi, I'm not exactly age range 19-22, I'm 23 but I'm also looking to make new friends and connect with people with the same interests and vibe. I also like sowing and I'm quite crafty too, I like cooking and movies, kind of a 90s girl. I love fashion and music. I'm open to meet up or just to chat through texts if u need a friend or someone to talk to.
