• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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 chase people away. I feel like when people really get to know me, then they know the bad part of me, and then they run away, even guys.

also, I don't know how to deal with anger problem. I get angry and I dont' know how to upset it.

what is more depressing is that people like to be around positive people. And I dearly *wish* to be a person like that, but I never was really. I wanna be treated with this negativity and all this. well.. help me.

Hi,

What do you mean by, bad side?

I think we all have things about us that people don't like, But a friend overlooks those things and is your friend anyway.

I can't see how you can chase people
away.
Maybe I'm just different, but i think if you want to be friends, there will always be a time we do something others don't like.

Being a friend, we overlook it.

Chuck.

I know what you mean about chasing people away and i'm probably guilty of doing the same thing...do you know what your bad part is? That might sound an odd question but sometimes we just have a belief that we are bad and we don't bother to check it out so we don't know what it is in us that we don't like, but if you can find what it is then you can try to change it if it needs changing. Everyone has bad things about them like Amin said but real friends love you for the good things about you and will overlook the bad stuff. I don't know much about anger problems but maybe you could try to find some other ways of expressing your feelings, anger isn't a bad thing it's just what you do with it that can be bad.

It is true that people like to be with positive people but don't beat yourself up for not being like that, you can offer something different that is just as valid as being possitive, I don't know you so I don't know what that is but I know that everyone has something to offer, something special about them that only they can bring to a relationship.
