I will never get married and I haven't even gotten a boyfriend. I am so pretty and it's all wasted because I'm 24 and I have no one! I suck at meeting people. I just wanted to go makeout with some random guy to make my life more exciting. That didn't happen. I just want to destroy myself I'm tired of being alone! I hate seeing Christian couples together.I hate seeing couples together or people with friends in general. I just hate everything and everyone! All I wanted to do was go make out with some random guy I found on the internet today cause it would be a change from my empty and pointless life which is never getting better. I've done everything to be perfect going to school, being a born again Christian, everything and my life is miserable!!!!! I tried to go to church today and the church wasn't even there anymore. I have no one! Why can't I just die already why does God keep making me suffer. Since I can't get married I just wanted to go meet this guy but that didn't even happen. He just played games. I hate all the ugly guys that try to talk to me. I hate men. Nothing in this world will make me feel better I can't stand like living!!!!.

I wish I knew what to tell you. Being lonely really sucks. :( :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:One thing I won't tell you is to spend more time with God if you feel lonely and want a companion because that's like telling a hungry person with a serious chocolate craving to eat broccoli.

What stood out to me was that you described yourself as having an "empty and pointless life."

I suspect that if you had a sense of purpose and value, the relationship thing - while it still might be a big issue - would be something you would be able to bear more easily.

You can't create the person you want to be with on the spot. But you can work on defining who you are, and what the purpose and value of your life is going to be. My suggestion would be to focus on that for a while and see if you can't make some progress there.

if God had wanted you to suffer, then when you first transgressed any of His laws, you would have immediately died and would have gone to hell for eternity. your suffering isn't from God - it's from you - you're trying to satisfy yourself, but you can pour the whole universe into self, and self will still want more - the way to control self is not to feed it, but to starve it by focusing on God's selfless love for you.

this will definitely help you with your fury and hatred of people:

JDmaybe91, I can identify with everything you said (except for the "I hate men" [which would be women for me]). No matter how you were brought up and lived since being a Christian, you are still being deeply affected by the world's programming. More importantly, having a head knowledge of the Truth and what is right and wrong won't move your life toward happiness and having the main things in your life the way you want.

Seeing marriage as a solution to general life pain (or loneliness) is proof that a person isn't ready to be married yet. Marriage doesn't cure loneliness, it cures aloneness. Love can cure loneliness (who loves perfectly, though?), but without the right marriage situation the typical kind of love we have will eventually not be enough, and the pain will return, except now the married person would be in a situation he or she can't escape (at least without a big, long, painful effort).

People sometimes say "Jesus is the answer to everything!" I don't say it because what it means is usually misunderstood. However, there is some truth in the statement. All pain and suffering is the result of sin. And moving toward unity with Jesus is the path out of not only sin, but also the effects of sin (e.g., pain, confusion), and toward experiencing the fruits of the Spirit (listed in Galatians 5:22-23). The problem is that sin and its effects on us are not like a bunch of painful daggers in us that need to be pulled out, sin is like a bunch of giant fishhooks in us. There is no way for them to be removed without the flesh being cut more.

The taint of sin is permanent. There is no way whatsoever to untaint something from sin. The only way to end sin is to destroy it. Through Jesus, the part of us that is tainted with a sinful nature is not eventually cleansed; it is destroyed. (That's what happens whenever sin and God meet.)

The path out of the situation you're in is to learn what God wants for you and to be obedient, and it will be difficult and painful, but it will eventually lead to joy. At your age, I would expect you to find unshakeable joy in this life IF you devote yourself to Jesus in every way. It means you won't be able to go down the path that seems the best for you, and definitely not the most comfortable path. God gave his commands because they are what is actually best for us (when interpreted and applied correctly).

The Apostle John wrote that God's commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). Jesus himself said,

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30, 1984 NIV)

The reason the Christian walk can be painful and difficult is not because God's commands are hard, but because sin has been and continues to be with us at every turn. The longer you devote yourself to the living person, Jesus (not the idea of him, or his philosophy), the easier the walk becomes. However, the path you must stay on gets narrower; that is, the very devotion that keeps you going in the right direction will reduce the number of good choices you have to choose from along the way.

One valuable thing to do is to keep asking Jesus to help you be fully devoted to him. Then move forward with your best effort. Study, don't just read, the Bible; pray; worship; fast; attend church; and spend your time with other Christians. Eventually you will be able to keep Jesus on your mind all the time. It's a big commitment, but in turn God will reward you far more than what it cost you, in this life and the life to come.

Looks are not everything. I was in a class with a nice looking guy. We all started talking about stuff and he was very into conspiracy theories.

Looks mean nothing sometimes.

How can you hate me? I represent everything you say you want - My life is filled with purpose and adventure, I am loving and faithful to my wife, her life is full of purpose and adventure. I make her feel beautiful and she gets turned on just looking at me. You say you hate seeing couples like us together, but I'd suggest that jealousy isn't healthy.. . . seeing couples like us should be an encouragement. If there was a guy like me out here for my wife, why wouldn't there be an equally good guy for you somewhere in the world? Maybe you just haven't traveled enough or you are looking in the wrong places. Be advised though, really pretty men tend to be gay & they might not be "out" . . so, be-careful what you fall for if you are placing too much emphasis on looks.

Game playing is natural for guys shopping the internet for women, it is an ugly and twisted environment. You'd be better off shopping for men in some activity. Like what do you like to do? Do you like horseback riding or sailing or anything fun like that? If so, meeting guys in activities both assures you of a mutual interest & that they aren't couch commandos who may include things in an internet profile they have only done once or tried on a high school outting years ago but it isn't really part of their lifestyle. If you find the guy in the actual activity rather than the internet, chances are he actually does the whatever. So, what do you like to do for fun?

You're frustrated because you are full of impatience. You want, want, want, but can't get because you want to consume it on your desires (James 4:3). You should make Christ your first love (Revelation 2:4-5). Jesus said "my sheep know my voice, and follow me..." which means He will give you the desires of your heart, if you follow Him. Perhaps He is not giving you the desires of your heart because you are not following Him? Follow Him first, as He said "seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these [other] things shall be added to you."

Yeesh! Where's God in all of this? You've got you at the center of things rather than Him. I can tell you that if God was in your life where He is supposed to be, you wouldn't be looking to make-out with some strange guy just to give yourself a bit of excitement! God really can satisfy us like no one else can. Sadly, like so many "Christians," God is not in the driver's seat of your life and consequently your life is miserable.

I didn't marry until I was 39. I had no serious relationship with a woman from the time I was nineteen until the time I met the woman who would be my wife. It wasn't until I was content just with God that my wife appeared in my life. I don't think I would have made a very good husband if I had been lonely, and desperate, and far from God. I'm sure God knew that and waited until He was properly positioned in my life before He introduced me to my wife.

I hate seeing Christian couples together.I hate seeing couples together or people with friends in general. I just hate everything and everyone! All I wanted to do was go make out with some random guy I found on the internet today cause it would be a change from my empty and pointless life which is never getting better.

Yeah, selfishness always leads to this sort of thinking and behaviour. Maybe instead of focusing entirely on yourself, you could start making other people your focus. Better yet, make God your primary focus. You were made by Him to know and walk with Him. But so long as He is on the sidelines of your life, the fulfillment, and purpose, and meaning you were made to find only in Him will elude you.

I've done everything to be perfect going to school, being a born again Christian, everything and my life is miserable!!!!!

Living as a born-again child of God isn't about trying but about being. And what is it you're expecting from God, having done everything so perfectly? Did you live this way in order to earn some favour from God? Was all your right living just a way to obligate God into doing you a good turn or two? Or were you living right simply as way to love your Heavenly Father?

Since I can't get married I just wanted to go meet this guy but that didn't even happen. He just played games. I hate all the ugly guys that try to talk to me. I hate men. Nothing in this world will make me feel better I can't stand like living!!!!.

The more you indulge this angry, resentful sort of thinking and feeling, the more it takes root in your mind and heart and shapes who you are. It is very dangerous, then, to let this sort of stuff remain unchallenged within you. It will twist and bend you into a dark, self-centered and self-destructive shadow of who God made you to be in Him.

James 4:8-10
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.


Selah.

You're 24 and pretty but still unmarried? Ugly men find you attractive? And life isn't worth living.

Wait until you're widowed at 40 with three children to raise, 65 and affilicted with a terminal illness, or the hundred other situations people who are less fortunate live through.

Your problem is at least reparable. Do it. You identified most of your problem areas in your post and they can all be corrected.

Don't know if I can sympathize you in this sentence. Sometimes people are lonely because they reject too many people.

But sometimes it's good to have a good rant. Hopefully you feel a bit better.

You say you’re a born-again Christian, yet you still haven’t learned to forgive, which is obviously the underlying cause of your perceived misery and horrible outlook on life… As if screwing around with an absolute stranger is going to make things even better. I hope you consider what Jesus said about unforgiveness and allowing the tormentors to torment you. Hope things get better for you soon.

I love that people assume what I mentioned is my only problem. It's far from my only problem and I'm far from fortunate. I do have an illness and it just might not be repairable.
And what are people supposed to do... read your mind? We can only respond to what you say. What you said is that you are "so pretty" and have no one: in other words, because you are pretty, you should have someone to date. What about your personality? Are you someone that others want to spend time with? Are you Godly? Do you reflect Jesus?

You say you want to make out with a random stranger. What exactly is that going to solve? If you have decided that this is the solution to your problem, then you have a lot of growing up to do. Your desire is no different from a man who is trolling for sex. Is that really who you want to be?

Self pity is a cancer that poisons your mind and spirit. Envy and jealousy make it worse, so that bitterness sets in and no one (except for equally selfish and bitter people) will want to be around you. The solution to that is to take a hard look at yourself, and confess these things to God. Pray for a change of heart; a heart of love, compassion and kindness. Ask Him to turn your thoughts away from yourself and show you ways to serve others.

It is all about your attitude. If you keep the one you spoke of in the original post, your future is not bright. The wonderful thing is that the Holy Spirit will convict your wrong thinking and guide you into something beautiful. But first, you need to repent of this self centeredness and release it to Him. He will make all things new in yourself. The key is, you have to make the choice and repent in order for the fullness of God's grace to move you to a fulfilling life. What will you choose?
