I’ve always found it a difficult thing to decide how to deal with it when I’m feeling down. Generally speaking, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is fine to share that with others if I want help out of the hole, but it is better to keep it to myself (or share it with the like-feeling) if I just want to let the thing run its course on its own. I just do not have the energy for the people who will make it their business to argue with that decision. Since they are not going to be comfortable until my problem is “solved”, it is better to not include them in the process of living through it. Otherwise, they’ll all feel a need to have a finger in the pie, and the pie will not be the better for it.
What’s sad is they don’t really care so much about helping me out and setting me up and are just simply using that as a veneer to mock me because they’re out of fresh meat to verbally punch and abuse.
Then again, having conservative standards is a crime nowadays so what do you expect from the bros of the 4chan troll crowd?
Another thing that burns me is that they accuse me of whining. Hello? Who brought up the date? Who said the V-word? Not me ‘buddy’.

You gonna talk (or even whine yourself) about your love life during the Season of Hearts then I don’t see how I’m any less entitled to express my own romantic grievances.
When you find a friend who can listen when you are down and just let you be as you work through it, treasure that friend! That is a great gift, and a rare one!
I suppose I have those. I still rather be without the opinions of the less tact though. >:\
I’m a single middle-aged Catholic woman, and this day makes me depressed. And no, I’m NOT doing a ‘pity-party, oh-woe-is-me’ routine…I’m starting cold, hard FACTS!
Same here! Why can’t people see that? I’m in my 20s but never ever had a girlfriend. I barely had what you’d call a crush and the feelings didn’t exactly last long. I’ve seen (and have been surrounded) very attractive women but in no way could I ever see myself in a romantic relationship with any of them. They’re just not my type! There’s no click and dare I remind you all how bad it is to just act on ‘clicks’ based on physical appearance. -.-
Do any of you know how hard it is to find a meek ingenue-type in this country? I’ve had both good and bad friends say that what I’m looking for is either already extinct since the 1900s or lives on a hill, in the far flung boondocks of what’s left of Catholic Europe! DX
And no, I will not settle for anything less! If I wanted anything less, I’d just stick to living with my sister and my mother. DX
God is LOVE, why be sad if you’re a daughter/son of God? You should at least smile for God knows what He’s doing.
I just get my mind off of the fact that society wants all of us to be living happily together after with our soul-mates & instead focus on the unconditional love God has for all of us, no matter what day it is! Works for me.
Well I’m sorry if some of us aren’t satisfied with the whole God-love-everyone argument. (What? You really think that’s convincing? Think deeper.) However, just because there’s an unquestionable superiority of the relationship between Divine-Creator and Creation, doesn’t make romantic relationships any less significant and desirable. You might find it sufficient to have nice warm feelings towards God (and frankly, that might even be a sign that you’re meant for consecrated celibacy) but that’s not MY calling.
I want a girl in my life! I want to have a moment on top of a school building where a cute little lass -]in a Japanese school uniform /-]confesses her love to me and I ask her to give me a moment to think, take a trip downstairs, and actually trip from shock-induced lack of focus. I want to date, cuddle, and kiss! I want someone I can work together to have a permanent, married relationship with!!
roars to the heavens Is that too much to ask!?!? TwT
