• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

I'm going to take a temporary leave of absence. I think it's time to get myself into a personal twelve step program.

My neuroticism is getting out of hand. I think I have ended up hurting a lot of people with my angry rants and posts. After having a long talk with my parents, I think I spent far too much of my adult life resenting how my life turned out so far. I'm going to be making some changes, one of them spending less time on the computer and more time doing other things like reading books, exercising, enjoying the outdoors, and trying to get my physical and mental health back in check. I recognize that I cannot keep living like this and that I'm going to have to change.

Most of you guys have been awesome to me. I appreciate your patience, friendliness, and friendship and I am truly sorry if I have hurt any of you. Hopefully some self therapy will make things better and I'll be able to make some more level headed posts afterwards. I'm off to the gas station to get myself a cherry Pepsi.

Until next time, friends.

I did actually write out a LONG post for you. Aspie to aspie. But I didn't want the whole world and his wife debating with me because it was only for you. And to be honest, I don't really do PM's, so yeah... When you come back I'll write it again.

I had no idea you had aspergers too.

Yeah, I was diagnosed young. I also had a very determined mother who never saw it as a disability. So I never did either.

Interesting.

Although to be fair, some probably have it worse than others. Glad you've coped with it well though.

Well, I don't like talking about my school days much. High school was fine, but the 90s were a struggle.

I've also had a LOT of counselling. I was pretty close to a breakdown five years ago. My therapist almost referred me on to someone else...

Better say it now and get it over with. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start reforming myself.

I really don't think you need to leave.

Honestly from what I can see no one has a problem with you. I'll admit when you were new here you turned a few off (mainly to do with your sense of humor, although I personally always liked and understood it), but people quickly learned that you meant no real harm.

Please. This forum will be less if you're gone.

I'm sorry but I cannot keep using this forum as a LiveJournal account anymore. I've already received plenty of warnings from the mods due to my misconduct.

It won't be permanent, don't worry. I just need an attitude adjustment and then I can start posting as a healthy person again. I don't want to keep dragging you guys into my depression.

I recently had some lyrics in my mind and when I looked them up I discovered they were from a poem. I then copied the poem on my computer. I found the poem tonight on my computer and out of curiosity I googled the authors name because it sounded slightly familiar. And discovered another poem he wrote.. that the band also used as lyrics. :o It's interesting because though they didn't use all lines in the poems it still seems to express the same concepts in the songs. ^_^

I broke my ankle, earlier this week, and it itches very terribly! The pain is not there, it's only the itching. This is on my mind.

Sorry to hear about your ankle! When you have a cast, make sure you have a long thin ruler nearby. It's amazing!

I am sure I speak for more than myself when I say you are nothing similar to the burden you portray yourself to be. I think it holds true especially over the public internet that those who share their time to support you do so because they want to. Because they care. Whatever you decide - My inbox is always open to you. For any reason. :hug:

Self awareness is key to a healthy mind, and, to me, you always seemed to be far ahead of the game.

Really angry right now.

People trying to make me accept double standards that hurt myself. No.. why would I do that?
I thought you liked that sort of thing. It's what you consider foreplay. lol

I mean yeah all anger is enjoyable somewhat.. but being angry at hypocritical sjws is not foreplay for me. Lol.
