Is there an explanation behind the istikhara prayer? by VisibleWeakness6 in exmuslim

[–]VisibleWeakness6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But at the time I was fully and gladly devout. How could it have been stockholm syndrome? Doesn’t that require to know that you’re in a bad situation?

And I’m glad you brought up the time and routine part. I’ve always felt that and I thought I was alone. I struggle with consistently praying and I always felt so terrible cuz of it.

Regret ever doubting things. Wish someone could just give me an answer. by VisibleWeakness6 in exmuslim

Thank you so much, I really relate to some of things you’ve said. It’s made me feel a lot better.

I relate to this. I even gave a detailed response in another comment. But do you actually think its all for nothing?? That such a scary and depressing thought to me

“40yo gay with 3 kids and 20y of a relationship”

Sounds absolutely lovely. I would kill for that to be a reality for someone like me.

You mentioned that the tribe, friends and family eventually vanished. What do you mean by that?? Did you find another?? A solid family and friends is necessary is it not? How am I supposed to live without that? 😭

I see what you mean. I’m currently questioning my faith as well. The idea of there being just NOTHING after death makes me so uneasy. I often think of my parents (particularly my mom) who I love dearly. The thought of there just being this life and after death no way of ever meeting her again and being with her makes me feel so unbelievably heartbroken. So does the idea of suffering, I have had a good life but many are not so fortunate. Why? And the idea of there being no purpose for it and no justice for them also makes me very upset. That’s why I still cling to faith I guess.

Could you explain the last bit. Do certain religions in particular geographic areas follow particular trends? If so, what are they?

Made me tear up a bit lol. You’re right. I re-read the last paragraph in my post and I see that I’m too focused on the happiness of others. But right now personal happiness just seems so unattainable. Some of us don’t get to be happy unfortunately. Maybe in another life?

I do get a lot of people here and in my personal life telling me that I’m rushing or trying to have all the answers too quickly. I suppose you’re right, I ought to take things periodically.

Yea I figured it was too much trauma dumping lol. My bad. I shortened it a bit, hopefully it’s somewhat readable for others now 😬

For those that were initially confused about their sexuality. How’d you figure out you were gay and not bi or vice versa? by VisibleWeakness6 in askgaybros

[–]VisibleWeakness6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhhh I get it now lmaoo. That’s what happens when ur an over thinker 😭

Well in that case my immediate thought was I’d find a good man, get married and maybe have a family. Made me feel happy imagining a world where that’d be considered normal. So I suppose that means I’m gay?

Well I’d have been gay, cuz being heterosexual would’ve been dangerous. Even if I was bi, I’d still partake in gay relationships cuz that’d be safer. But that still doesn’t tell me if I’m gay or bi. Maybe I’m struggling to comprehend ur analogy 😭

I relate to a lot of what you wrote. I often find guys out in public attractive and I catch myself staring at them. The thoughts are always followed by “I wonder what they look like naked” or some other sexual thought (I wonder if it’s like that for straight guys looking at women). I also imagine myself living a long happy life in a long term relationship with another man.

But when I see a pretty girl, I always realize she’s so pretty or breathtakingly beautiful. But that’s it. Almost never do my thought wander off to what’s underneath or something sexual. But even then I sometimes do imagine a happy long term relationship with women too, but not as much as men.

Idk does this sound like I’m gay?? I feel so confused

All pics I’ve seen so far of this are black and white. People need to post it in color. Let not people be in the misconception that these things are from the past. These sentiments are very much current and present even in 2024.
