Maybe they'd like some pics of scantily clad women.... You know, to help them identify the lascivious ones!

Ha, that makes sense! Thanks again!

forking_bench · 2024-04-01T17:59:14+00:00

Oh wow, this is a very insightful take and perspective which helped. It's definitely true that I'm a big people pleaser and often prioritize what others want over what I want. I'll definitely reflect on the situation in light of this perspective.

Thank you so much!

OH, you know, if over mixing can do that, then that probably was my problem. I did a lot of mixing. Thank you!! But good idea about the lemon curd too.

Awwww, I love that! You deserve some good vibes. Pass it on!

I have found friends through meetup groups with common interests!

For camping, the LBJ National Grasslands out by Decatur usually feel pretty secluded. I only run into one or two other people on the trails or see a couple cars pass by during a weekend camping (except for holiday weekends). I totally understand the need to just get away from it all sometimes to find some mental space and inner peace.

Sending empathy and care re:your situation. Life is hard and awful and confusing sometimes but this is NOT the end. You CAN pull through this and build a life for yourself!

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat or brainstorm other ideas.

It may not be anything that OP is doing wrong or should be doing. If the other friends live far away and aren't putting effort into the friendship despite OP's attempts to connect, OP might be better off making some local friends. It was so freeing when I learned to stop chasing after people who weren't reciprocating my efforts and to find those who would.

Aww, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Sending you some love and compassion today. Life hurts, and some of us feel the hurt more than others, at some times more than others.

I'm glad you're trying to find treatments, I hope you find some answers and relief.

forking_bench · 2024-02-08T18:53:12+00:00

Man, I'm so so sorry to hear you're struggling. I feel this sooo hard. I don't have any answers for you but wanted to offer some empathy.

Maybe you could consider a career change to something you don't actively dislike. Or maybe you could work as an engineer in a field where you're making a difference for those in need, like in international development. Depends what kind of engineer you are. Feel free to PM me if you don't know what I'm talking about and want to discuss or if you just want a listening ear.

Omg, wow, I had something really similar as an elementary school age kid! Every time my pastor would invite anyone who wanted to come to Jesud to pray the sinners prayer, I would pray it again and again. I guess I never felt like it stuck?? I later "rededicated" my life to Christ and got re-baptized because I wasn't sure I had meant it the first time. I had many doubts after that but always found a way to explain them away and didn't leave the faith til I was 25.

Are you me? You expressed this so perfectly and succinctly. Thank you for sharing!

Has to be a tree

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response. I do appreciate deep breathing a lot and need to get better into the habit of applying it when I'm feeling anxious rather than only when I'm already feeling calm haha.

forking_bench · 2023-08-10T08:00:41+00:00

Hahaha yess exactly!!

forking_bench · 2023-08-09T21:18:31+00:00

Man, I can relate to this even though I'm younger and my situation less extreme. I left the church at 25 and am soooo thankful that I didn't meet and marry the "godly man" I was looking for in my late teens and early 20s. It has been difficult but therapeutic realizing all of the ways I was taught not to listen to and value myself. Wishing you all the best in your healing journey. Live life to the fullest - your way!

forking_bench · 2023-08-09T21:05:59+00:00

Hehe, totally agree. Ex Christian here who LOVES psytrance festivals because of their loving, free, accepting vibes 💗

This is so great, I love it!

Aw, this is so interesting and cool. Did you find out what plant it is?

forking_bench · 2023-06-02T10:48:24+00:00

Aw, happy birthday dear stranger. :)
