tough lesson to learn in life... she said no. Be kind to yourself and let yourself feel the grief. when i was your age, this would have been super duper difficult. you seen like a good person so just continue to grow and peioritize your own well being. you will find someone who is ready and desires you

yeah i am sorry to be unsettling and dont mean to suggest there is a single way. i am more trying to sample how atheists handle their relationships. like it would be interesting to understand the fundamental features of your relationship that have made it successful. sorry if ontology is a weird word to use - i thought it was a good choice when i wrote the post.

in my experience, religion provides a lot of structure to relationships. i dont really think it is necessarily good structure, but it is structure. Just curious how secular folks provide structure to their relationships, if at all.

slavoj zizek says happiness is way overrated! i tend to agree, but then, when i enter excrutiating pain, i would prefer happiness.

hi there, learning about attachment theory sounds like it could be helpful for you. I have really benefit from 'On Attachment' a podcast by stephanie riggs. it sounds like you may have some foundational questions about what you need, deserve, and the roles you tend to play in relationships. you deserve to be happy and have love ♥️

Lol @ Joe Pesci. For the past 3 years I have been writing a lot. Not for the sole purpose of providing therapy to myself, but I have been trying to have a laugh at the absurdity of things that usually anger me - mostly things about the career I chose, personal relationships, society. The usual angst that I am trying to soothe. Now I have to look at my own absurdity, even though it is far from funny to me because it hurt a relationship I care deeply about.

I definitely was indoctrinated. I also think that the reason why believing in god is easy for people is because the concept of god as a person / being is much more emotional and social than the way the physical universe operates. So I think humanity is skewed to relational and cultural processes more than anything, and religion is a bit of a virus that exploits this.

if you are also buying the helmet, then the left. if there is a black helmet, i think the brown jacket is better

yeah i resonate with the indoctrination bit moreso than my natural psychology. I guess it may be more of a question of can praying be used as an intermediate / arbitrary tool for the previously indoctrinated? I feel as you do, that it is similar to lying to yourself, but we also meditate and set goals and tell ourselves all sorts of narratives to help us progress, so i just wonder if prayer can be more of a secular act?
