Hey /soc/,
Does anyone want to chat about their faith in God? If so, put your kik and let's chat. I don't want to put mine down because it is an obvious chick username and i don't want to get flooded with dick pics.
This isn't being posted to save anyone or push them towards religion. This is for people who believe and just want to be able to talk about their struggles and be reminded to keep on going.
Support and encouragement not offense and judgement.
Pls no bully.
make a masculine username; please your sexist god?

This thread isn't about judging or nitpicking or putting people down, mang. Sorry if this thread offended you. I didn't intend it to be offensive.
it didn't offend me i just dont wanna put screennames on 4chan.
and why would your intention affect whether or not this turns into judgemental putdown thread 2k16?
>>23839199
I don't think you're going to find much of a crowd here. On behalf of /soc/ we do not apologize for that, although we do apologize for anyone who ends up being a douche to you.
There already is a muslims thread going, there's Jewish threads every once in a while. If you're catholic or something you could just make a thread for that...

>>23839233
Thanks for the advice and honesty. If this thread dies, it dies. Just thought I'd give it a try.
Not my deal but bump for you OP ;)
>>23839326
Thank you!
What exactly did you want to talk about op
>>23839344
I really want to know about people's struggles in life and how they dealt with them. Or how they're dealing with it now. Anything that is weighing heavy on someone's heart that they just want to get out there.
>>23839148

>>23839389

My struggles are pretty generic, I've never had a girlfriend and probably never will, hence feelings of low self-esteem, loneliness and feeling different to others because I have a disability to attract people romantically or sexually.
Part of this is due to the high libido in society, people seem overly sexualized and think more about short term relationships than long ones, they hook up with people who are bad for them because "muh body, muh rules" business.
I don't feel part of that society, I feel an outsider.
Anyways that's my struggles, I could tell you about being poor and not making a lot of money, too dumb for the education system but to me these aren't struggles because I don't really care about qualifications and money, I care about love and life.

Are you religious/specific religion
I'm at the point in my life where I finally realized what I want, and how to go about getting it, but goddamn it I am so fucking lazy. And the past 4 years have been a complete waste of time, failing and going back to square 1 and failing again.
I am religious and part of my goals have to do with that, but it's so much easier to just piss away life on the computer every day after work "I'm tired anyway" and then years have gone by. Some of my friends are married, a lot of kids from high school are into white collar careers and come Monday I'm going to be homeless.
Like can I just skip all the struggle and fast forward to being 30 with a wife and kids.

It's not that bad to be a virgin male. Parties and one night stands are gross and none of those people end up happy anyway. Finding a traditional wife will take massive effort and you'll have to get yourself at your best-looking, but it's possible.
>I am religious
>virgin guy virgin wife
>traditional
>hentai butthole
I didn't even realize it. But that's basically my problem. I can sit around thinking I'm so great and better than "average slut" but I surround myself with so much digital lewdness I don't even realize when I randomly pic a porn picture
I'm such a fucking hypocrite, but at least I feel better that I quit drinking
>>23839456
True intimacy, the non sexual kind, is really hard to come by, anon. I feel you on this. Don't get me wrong, I really love sex but sometimes I just want to "be" with someone.
Hasn't happened yet, but I'm hopeful and I'm hopeful for you, too.

Hey man, I get this completely. I'm a Christian and I believe in God but I find myself victim to lust and hypocrisy. The internet is a rough place that is full of distractions and emptiness.
I've been thinking about breaking away from it since I really have lost myself. I constantly run away to places like 4chan for a quick laugh or rant and forget about my issues then wonder why I'm so lost and confused and depressed all the time.
I'm sorry about your situation. Do you not have anyone to contact?
>>23839680
Exactly. I'm thinking once I find a new place maybe I won't even get internet set up. My family doesn't really accept my religious beliefs or think I take it seriously (which is understandable because sometimes I don't) so I'm kind of isolated. I'm actually staying with them right now and my brothers are shut up in their rooms instead of hanging out.
I'm only 24 but feel so old and like I've wasted all my youth.
>>23839753
Yeah. The internet is really negative. There are lots of positives but i think as human beings we gravitate towards negative situations for some reason.
I'm 27 and I felt like that for a long time. Then I thought back on my life and saw all the things I've done. Even the little things.
Idk maybe that makes me lame or whatever, but it worked for me. Took a while with a lot of persistence but, it works fairly well.
>>23839558
>Parties and one night stands are gross and none of those people end up happy anyway.
I know right but I just want a nice person to spend my life with, when you say serious effort what do I have to do exactly?
>>23839657
Thanks.
I'm not religious but I've always found myself believing in hope, no mtter how shit things get for me, I always believe it will be better.
>>23839837
It's really hard to find someone. I was on OkC and found some decent dates but dating is really all chance. It's about taking rejection and walking away from it. Not letting it get you down.
That's just from my own experience, desu.
>>23839780
>Then I thought back on my life and saw all the things I've done. Even the little things.
You know, you're right. I'm in a period right now where I'm making a lot of changes and really trying to invent a new me, and yes I do sometimes step back and say "well I have accomplished x y and z and that's pretty awesome" but you know how it goes, you start telling yourself that's not enough compared to everyone else etc. You know, this is kind of a nice thread.
>>23839837
I suppose I don't -actually- know what I'm talking about but a lot of self-reflection and some failed relationships in the past have really forced me to figure out what I value and what I don't, which I think a lot of unhappy/failed relationships are because people "didn't know what they wanted". Like I want kids and a close family and to really be that strong father figure - so very quickly I would find out if a woman I'm interested in does or doesn't want kids. You hear about people who spend years together hoping the other person will "come around" on some matter or other just wasting their own time, mostly because they're more in love with the body and the sex than the person.
I mean kids are just one example, there's a lot of other things that are very important to me and then I also recognize what I don't give a shit about. People always start off "getting to know each other" by talking about.... media... movies and music... what does it fucking matter?
You know so you've got to figure out what you can and can't compromise on. Young people are always talking about "oh man she's got such a great ass but she bitches and argues all the time" like that relationship is going nowhere. Me personally it's taken a long time to get past the idea of some perfect petite super hot girl that every other guy wants because family values and agreeable personality actually matter - and that's what will keep us together over decades - and if she's kinda fat then whatever.
I think this is kind of a sweet idea

Yeah. It did turn out to be really nice. Thank you for being so open about your past and feelings in the present.
It takes more bravery to be open than to stay quiet sometimes. Silence is powerful but speaking up can be just as impactful-depending on circumstance, that is.
Things are gonna get better, mang. I believe in you.

I'm a Christian too. Honestly I don't know why I come here because there is so much crap to wade through but maybe it's the realness of it, normies are so fake.
>>23843144
I feel myself coming here because of that, too. It's nice to just see honesty. Normies are fake, mang. Do you struggle with your faith at all?
>>23843316
Sometimes. In my religion suicide is considered an unforgivable sin because it's an act of disbelief - yet there's been times where I really, really wanted to kill myself and start telling myself to just do it because hell isn't real and I've been lying to myself... I only ever question my faith in moments of true suicide ideation. Never just like daily life.
