[QUOTE="Aleksandros, post: 71582128, member: 398370"] Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles - I have prayed to the Lord for you, and trust that you will have guidance, and help. I would say the most important thing you should do is, grow closer to God. If you keep this thing first, everything else will take care of itself. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33) And: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will grant you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4) That is the first and greatest step: grow in your friendship with God, and then make your requests known to Him, and He will grant you them, since they're good desires. For the more earthly advice: Brother, perhaps due to your struggles, you may have unloaded your burdens on a person in a way that they found uncomfortable, and thus they pulled back. It is an easy mistake to make :) Don't open up about your sorrows very quickly, it can push people away. It is how human nature is - it would take a wise man to be okay with it. Finally, be forgiving of such human errors. You will be tempted to be disappointed, or attribute such things to people being averse to you as a person due to your disabilities - be very careful about this, it can lead to negative beliefs about yourself that make it difficult to make friends. :) Most people just don't know how to deal with such struggles- they may feel awkward, don't know what to say, feel overwhelmed when you open up too fast, and various other things. Presume they don't mean evil. I hope things work out. [/QUOTE]
