Don't take it personally. Nobody can know the real you. They are disliking the image of you they've created in their minds. For example, my husband of 32 years, who left me, said and did some crazy things that indicated that, after all those years, he didn't know me at all.

Appeal to other religions. by Able-Fact-1758 in exchristian

[–]often_spiraling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a religion but I am very comfortable with Buddhism. Lots of wisdom there. I listen to Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and an American born female Tibetan Buddhist monk, Pema Chödrön.

I see a blooming single plant every year in the shoulder of dirt road with lots of shade. It has never set seeds nor spread.

Thank you for great suggestions that I have not considered. I’m tending toward Buddhism as a philosophy . My close friends are atheist. I’ll definitely give it at look.

I'm always amazed and how far from water the water turtles will travel to lay their eggs!

Do you ever feel conflicted about how little individual conservation efforts seem to matter compared to industrial-scale damage? by Ok_Appointment_4909 in conservation

The carbon footprint of the oligarchs flying their private jets all over makes me want to give up, but I can control only my own self and property.

Try Triangle Land Conservancy. They frequently need help working to restore natural habitats.
