Hi Espoir, I have been feeling that way for awhile. I realized recently that it's a combination of my appearance changing (from the onslaught of middle age) and also the loss of some companionship I used to have regularly: that of my children. I'm actually surprised that I'm not even MORE...

I used to have a vague ongoing fear - because I'm a day sleeper - of random violence ...a psychopathic killer getting into my house while I was deep in sleep (I have to wear earplugs because it's kind of noisy where I live). This was in spite of having a good alarm system and a gun. Since...

Welcome Nghtrain. I like it here; bet you will too !

I agree. It could be that some of the issues he's dealing with are related to the particular faith. It's not anything against those of us who are not Christians.

Congratulations ! You got some good advice here and Brian's was great lol. Just remember, she's nervous too. Both of you are coming to this with the same goal (meeting one another in person and - if that goes well - getting something going). So in a way, you're on the same side.

windowsill, Many times loneliness is part of having had a bad childhood, anything from emotionally cold to extremely cruel treatment; it just becomes difficult to trust. That's been my hardest obstacle to get past, with regard to God: why He lets some of the things happen to babies and...

Never have, even though I do have some PTSD anxiety. I think it's alright for people who genuinely need it in order to function; the issue for me is the way it's urged on people who do NOT need it.

Major door-locker here and also we have an alarm. On a psychological level, the only thing which ever brought me security and a feeling of safety was my faith in God. BUT that was riddled with inconsistencies and doubts because I was NOT safe as a child. These days, it's still my faith in...

Hi Ninjacat, I think doesanybodycare may be correct with that theory about your partner. Alternatively, your partner might just be a sadist who receives pleasure from knowing how much pain he's causing you. In my opinion it's time for you to flip into action, RIGHT NOW. That doesn't mean you...

Hi again, This will be short because I find it hard to write the new post with those annoying Smilies on the left margin. I have friends online and there's no limit to how many of those I want, so I'm happy to meet anyone here. But my real issue, the one which drew me here, is that I presently...

I know whatcha mean; there has been many an occasion in which I would say something that sounded so utterly off the wall, that other people would just stand there blinking. A few of those times I had only the vaguest glimmer myself of what I meant by the thing I had said. I guess you have to...

windowsill, you have a personal email.

Windowsill, Talk about the unfortunate ironies in life: here we are discussing the insecurities of having our postings unanswered, and I didn't see yours to respond, til now ! :( I'm really sorry about that; my emails were congested with holiday offers today. I have deleted some of my Facebook...

"Vergissmeinicht" by Eisbrecher

Hi Calm, I notice I'm the first one to respond (you know what they say about how fools step in, etc.). Please first of all don't discount the fact that you are still flooded with testosterone at your age and may not feel this way, at least so strongly, for too much longer. That paragraph you...

Right on. Most people respond fairly well to a sincere apology - so long as you haven't done some horrific permanent damage to them - because most people realize that ANYONE can screw up. They know that they too might very well have apologies to make, sooner or later. Maybe one or two...

"Ugly" ~ I didn't see your photo but I do know this: Mick Jagger is one of the homeliest men in the world and his attractiveness has been legendary. It's how you USE your looks that determines the reaction you'll get. All these other posters have written good things regarding health...

Welcome Piki. Just got here myself a couple of days ago. I play a game over at Facebook (Mafia Wars) so I know how intense it can get; I freaking love it and I enjoy the people who play it with me. I think the trick is keeping the game in its place so that it doesn't take over your life. But...

Tex, if a person feels that something you write is a dig, my guess is that they will find a way to confirm whether that's true, even if it's a roundabout way. IOW, what those posters above me wrote lol. Here is an example of my own recently on Facebook and keep in mind that I'm VERY...

Welcome, windowsill. Add one more to the club. My social self is so fragile that my mood is adversely affected if no one comments on a link I post at Facebook ! And my mood goes up when multiple people comment. And after real life interactions such as parties or other get-togethers, I'm prone...
