• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I've learnt that nothing is permanent in this world, whether it's friendships or romantic relationships.
That’s my conclusion too.

I had similar struggles but with my old Navy buddies. Now there's the dynamic of having school age children. I'm about 10 years older than a lot of the parents of my younger daughter. On the occasion I do meet some parents who are about my age I tend to get along better with the mothers than the fathers. Most of the fathers are not very interesting people; all they want to talk about is work, sports, and maybe hunting. Then there's the true disaster situations that I've encountered once or twice where all the purported adults want to talk about is tattoos, weed and getting high.

Hi my Friend/Brother In Christ!! [Hugs] :hug::hug::cookie::cookie::custard::custard:

I am sorry that this has happened to you. :(:(

I have also lost a couple Friends.

What I do when I feel I have no one, I just talk to God.

He helps me not feel lonely.
Also you can ask God to help you find new Friends!! God Is Able!! :clap::clap::cheer::cheer::cookie::cookie::custard::custard:

Or you can ask God to fix the Friendships you already had. :hug::hug::hug::hug:


And you can always message me if you want!! :hug::hug::hug::hug::):):cookie::cookie::custard::custard:

*Deep sigh* Did your friend have anything wrong with him in any way? I am saying this because I am autistic and I don't always talk all the time. Sometimes I am very quiet and introspective and I seek a quiet place of solitude just to think. Its because I am introverted in real life. It comes with the condition of being autistic.

Did he genuinely not like you and is a bad person, or does he have something wrong with him and he is just misunderstood? Some people are just introverted you know. A lot of extroverts and outgoing people misunderstand people like this. It doesn't mean they are bad people or they hate you or anything. They are just different.

Are you one of those people who likes to talk a lot? Are you outgoing? Do you like to socialize and be in large crowds and have many friends? Do you attend a lot of parties? Let me tell you right now that not everyone is like that. Some people, like me, just crave solitude sometimes to be alone with our own thoughts. A peaceful environment helps us recharge our batteries so to speak. That is the difference between extroversion and introversion. :)
