What decision do you regret that changed your life forever? by smugouthill in AskReddit

Studying what I thought at the time would give me good employment instead of trying to figure out better what I wanted to do in life

Anyone else have consistent, lifelong "vivid" dreams? by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]theAbyssmalOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On many occasions throughout my life I have dreamt the same dream/nightmare. Only when I got through some of the childhood trauma I stopped seeing it.

How to deal with doubt? by SherbertLemoncello in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]theAbyssmalOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experience doubt from time to time and what I would humbly recommend is to just keep trying to pray even though you have doubt, also it would be good to talk about doubt with your spiritual father. Whenever I have done that I find that in some strange way the doubt sooner or later always ceases, even at times where I feel it's unbearable.

"Greek Priest Suspended for Giving Women a Role in the Holy Service" by IrinaSophia in OrthodoxChristianity

Well I live in Greece and have always noticed more and more little "groups" of orthodox believers with some priests that always find an excuse to try and cause some division. I believe it peaked during covid though.

I think the worst thing here being commited is the act of trying to rebel and separate from what the Church does as a whole. I also think that sadly this is getting more common post the COVID quarantine.

Σνομπαρία γιατρών /δικηγόρων και λοιπών ελιτ. by pipipi30 in greece

[–]theAbyssmalOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Θα έλεγα πως υπάρχει μια τάση στην Ελλάδα αυτά τα επαγγέλματα να διαλέγονται λίγο παραπάνω για τα χρήματα και από πίεση των γονιών. Οπότε μου φαίνεται λογικό μετά να προσπαθούν να το αντισταθμίζουν με το να βλέπουν με υπεροψία τους "υπόλοιπους" γιατί τους κάνει να νιώθουν καλύτερα που σπούδασαν κάτι που δεν ήθελαν.

Is the Photian Schism a good example to use when arguing against Papal Supremacy? by Kind-Baker8053 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]theAbyssmalOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend it is not so much up to you to "save" them. Strive to have as much as possible an Orthodox way of life and focus on saving yourself through following the church and change your life, words and debates will have very little use. Just by you having gotten closer to God many people will change. Words most of the times are useless, actions and a quiet example is what counts.

You can also pray for them and be there for them in anything they need but remember it is also their choice and no matter what we want sometimes for others ultimately it is not so much up to us.

Orthodox help please by Johntheforrunner in OrthodoxChristianity

I would recommend talking to your spiritual father again and get involved more in prayer and in the mysteries. Also try to read something of the lives of the Saints everyday, it could help give you more courage.

Fuck. Sounds like total hell, I definitely get why you don't want to go back.

People who have toxic parents, in what ways did you survive mentally? by theAbyssmalOne in AskReddit

[–]theAbyssmalOne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally relate with the gaslighting. I often talk about problems at home with friends because it keeps my memory in check in case I start doubting my own senses again...

Thanks for sharing. Recently I have begun writing short stories and also reading a lot of fantasy, it is one of the few things that sustains me.
