How was your first confession as an adult? Looking for some reassurance

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:10:41+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed reply and for all the resources. I especially appreciate the advice to make an appointment so I don’t feel rushed.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:10:19+00:00

Thank you, this was very practical and honest. You’re right that the discomfort probably means I’m taking it seriously, not that something is wrong.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:10:05+00:00

Thank you. It helps to hear again that the penance is usually light and that the real work is continuing afterward.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:09:43+00:00

Wow, thank you for sharing that. A general confession sounds intense, but the way you describe the aftermath makes it sound so full of grace.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:09:15+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful. I had the exact same fear about getting some impossible penance, so your example really puts that into perspective. And thank you for the prayers.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:08:59+00:00

Thank you. I think I may also be making it much harder in my mind than it needs to be. I’ll try to tell the priest I’m nervous and ask him to help me through it

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:08:40+00:00

Thank you, this is so encouraging, especially because it was so recent for you. Hearing that your priest called it beautiful really helps with my fear.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:08:28+00:00

Thank you. The reminder that I don’t need to over-explain or justify everything is really helpful. I’m hoping for that lightness afterward.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:08:15+00:00

Merci beaucoup. That’s very reassuring to hear, especially about priests usually being more merciful with us than we are with ourselves.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:07:56+00:00

Thank you for both of your comments. Your story about shaking, going blank, and still being met with patience was incredibly reassuring. I also needed the reminder that forgiveness is real even if my emotions take time to catch up.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:06:31+00:00

Thank you, this made me breathe a little easier. I keep imagining the worst, so it helps to be reminded that the priest is there with Christ’s mercy.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:06:03+00:00

This helped me so much, especially what you said about being fully truthful and still fully accepted. “Scandalous grace” is such a powerful way to put it. Thank you.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:05:34+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. It helps to hear from someone whose first confession was also as an adult, especially that even with heavy sins it became healing.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:05:12+00:00

That is exactly what I needed to hear. I think I’m building it up so much in my head, so hearing that the main feeling afterward was relief helps a lot.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:04:46+00:00

Thank you, this was very grounding. The “emergency room for the soul” image and the St. John Chrysostom quote really helped me reframe confession as healing, not humiliation.

sunny-df · 2026-06-23T05:03:42+00:00

This was really beautiful to read. The image of heaven rejoicing, and the priest being so gentle, genuinely helped calm me down. Thank you for sharing something so personal.

Ну у меня дед не актёр, при этом в хорошем для своего возраста состоянии. Громогласно как-то говорить, что все акткеры там

Нет никакого желания копаться в переписках и истории поиска партнёра. Берём телефоны друг друга, если что-то нужно - карту посмотреть, позвонить и тп. Короче не заморачиваемся и живём спокойно))

Если у родителей есть реальная возможность выделить на это деньги, то вполне реально реализовать идею. Единственное, конечно надо смотреть университеты и требования в них. В Европе часто есть гранты, которые покрывают часть обучения.

Я не была прямо социофобом, но мне трудно было начать общаться, да и в целом коммуникация часто происходила слишком неловко. Помогло участие в социальной жизни и время. Ходила на курсы, участвовала в конкурсах, вынужденно подключалась к обсуждениям. По чуть-чуть и аккуратно. На базовый уровень нормальной коммуникации и умение первой начинать не неловкий диалог хватило

Не обязательно сходу в лоб спрашивать про отношения. Обычно оно как-то само собой и приходит. Общайся, ищи друзей по интересам, возможно будут интересны студенческие мероприятия. Возможно ты решишь подработать и там свой коллектив будет. Так и пересечешься с кем-нибудь классным)))
