Re: Torn and confused.

Re: Torn and confused.
Been a while since I posted in here. I've basically given up on meeting anyone and on life in general. I'm in San Antonio now, dunno anyone, don't like it here and I guess I will get a job and work the rest of my days alone and in misery. That's what God wants for me. I will have to look away when I...

Re: Torn and confused.
So Snorkmaiden then you didn't judge or condemn him for his lack of sexual experience?
I come from an upbringing where judgement and condemnation was very severe. So maybe I'm overreacting to what people say.
I mean are people in general as harsh and painful as I think they are?

Re: Torn and confused.
Hi Heather. Been a while since I posted. Thanks as always for your awesome advise. I have been reading a lot of books and some things have changed in my mind. Some things not.

Re: Torn and confused.
Hi Heather. Thanks for saying that. How were you able to relearn? To be honest I don't know what I need. I'm just tried of feeling all torn up. And I'm tired of being nervous and being afraid of being judged and criticized. I'm tired of being alone, condemned, and feeling worthless. Seems like such ...

Re: Torn and confused.
Snorkmaiden I wanted to ask you, you said you were surprised that he did not have much sexual experience. Why were you surprised? And what was your reaction or what were you thinking when he told you that?

Hi Heather. Thanks again for replying. No I don't really want to kill myself. I get very frustrated and depressed and sometimes think there is no way out. So I talk about it.

Hi Heather thanks for replying. Suicide is not what I want. I want someone to understand me and not judge me. I have gotten beat up so badly physically/emotionally that it's hard for me to talk to people. I wish there was a group that could accept me without judgement. My zipcode is 95926. If there'...
