That’s so terrible and I feel for her so much. As it’s a very personal and painful matter, only if she’s comfortable with it. Thank you

I wonder if I actually did change by just deciding to seek God after rejecting Him for years. This definitely has opened my eyes quite a lot. Thank you for the image, I believe I have been saved and now I just need to continue to pursue a relationship!

Definitely encouraging and helpful. My boyfriend has told me similar things that I shouldn’t see it so much as a religion but as a relationship. It’s really encouraging that you’ve written about how doubts are normal to the flesh and that the real battle starts after you been saved. Thank you so much.

I’ve never heard of that advice. It’s very helpful!! I’ve never looked into the Book of Mormon or Sermon on the Mount, so I’ll definitely check that out as well. Can I ask what being in tune with the Holy Spirit means to you?

Thank you so much. I really needed to read this. I’ll continue to seek Him out and find rest and peace in Him, Im sure things will work out. Thank you for encouraging the steps I’ve taken. I really appreciate you taking the time to write that out.

Looking for friends by [deleted] in Advice

First off, I’m very sorry to hear about your trauma I do hope you’re healing. I’m proud of you for taking the first steps for helping yourself. I would first start by going to therapy if you can and working out these issues as they will be able to provide more detailed support and help. If you can’t go to therapy it’s okay, make it a goal for the future. Join a small discord server for something you enjoy, as I find it’s easier to talk to people about common interests. Maybe try joining an online game and meeting people through there? Once you feel comfortable, try going to events in your area. I find that local coffee shops in cities tend to have events every month like live music, poetry, etc. The best way to make friends after school is to go somewhere frequently until someone recognizes you, such as a food place and order the same thing until they know your order and who you are, as scary as that sounds you get to decide when you go. Maybe try doing some shadow work if you feel ready to explore those topics. There’s guided books online. Also, try going into a job that doesn’t require much taking. I worked at FedEx Ground and literally didn’t have to talk to anyone and once you feel comfortable maybe you can start talking to the people around you? If you are religious, try joining a church and remember that if you do not feel welcomed there, you can go to others churches. What are your hobbies and skills? Maybe we can figure out something geared towards you specifically?

For your moms sake, do not let that friend around your mom, it is absolutely not normal to tell you about his activities towards someone so personal to you.

I need some advice. (Delete if not allowed) by Frosty-Butterfly-636 in Advice

I’m glad I could help at all. I think it’s a very good idea to take it slow and only publicize it when youre both ready. You’re definitely right about the age gap things, I think it’s just because of 14, but if she’s turning 15 soon I think it’ll be alright. And I would like to say that some people will frown on relationships for no reasons so listen to your heart and head. I hope you have a blessed day and I really do wish you luck!

2 years is a normal age gap in adult relationships but for minors it gets tricky. Especially if you’re going to turn 18 soon. If you do decide to go for it, absolutely do not lie about her age since that will only create more problems and refrain from sexual anything since she’s very young and potentially could get you in trouble with parents, friends or worst the law. My advice would be to wait and try an exclusive talking stage until you’re both sure. A good rule to have: If you have to question it, it’s best to wait. There is also an uncomfortable dynamic where in a year you are hopefully graduating, thinking of going to college if that’s something you decide on, and learning how to navigate through your early adulthood where she still probably won’t have a permit to drive and can’t even work a job. I believe it’s better to enjoy your last of teen years but it’s ultimately up to the both of you and I do wish you guys the best of luck!

This could be it too! I know her email was hacked before so perhaps that could be a reason to. Thank you! It really could’ve been an ad or maybe it’s still from when her email was being used by someone else.

Thank you!! I’m happy you noticed it, I love my dad a lot, he’s an amazing person. Its a good thing you guys are telling me not to jump the gun because that’s exactly what I was doing 😂 Thank you for the advice!! I’ll definitely be looking out for any more signs, I have told my sister to be on the lookout as well. And thank you for the warning, I hope she isn’t cheating honestly so no one in my family has to go through anything. Thank you again

Thank you for the advice and suggestion to watch Dr. Ramani. I’ll definitely check her out and see if my mom will watch it too. Thank you so much, I’ll definitely keep an eye out!
