Yeahhhhh. It’s definitely because of my phone that I don’t get everything done. It’s not because I’m expected to do the work of two or three people

That's some BS right there, ain't it? When they make you look like the lazy one at work and yet it's because you are given an impossible amount to get done in the time they expect, not actually goofing off.

How can anyone want to be my friend? I'm just an oversensitive, weak, and selfish person. Some of you might think I'm kind and sweet, but I'm really not. I get angry and frustrated with people and I have to keep myself from saying something about it. I really struggle with trying to be nice at times.

Some good has come from being on CF, of course, but sometimes I wonder if I would have been better off without it. In some ways I'm probably less happy than I was before I joined.

If I didn't communicate online I'd probably be lonely, but when I do I find myself getting offended and upset.

I keep praying for people to come to the truth who need to, but I'm having a hard time being patient...

-Made all sorts of freakish lifestyles socially acceptable in the 21st century.

Well I appreciate how it made my romantic lifestyle more acceptable in the 21st century. Lol..

You're a blessing to me and many other Multifavs, that's why we are still friends. =) Sure, you may get easily upset and frustrated with certain people and posts. But, that shows me you really care about the truth, are passionate in defending it, and are against those who are in opposition to it.

Embrace this side of you. It's the only way to transcend it. The more you try to run from these feelings you have, that are just as much of a part of you as all the nice things you do and say, the more turmoil you will feel inside. None of us want to admit the darkness that dwells from within. But the closer you come to realizing just how dark we are as humans, the more you can cope with it. No one is completely good. But to deny a part of ourselves, the part that we aren't proud of, that we are ashamed of, is to deny what makes us human. What makes us real.

Just wait till you see all the crazy stuff people are doing in the 22nd century!!!!! Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. They have to get so bad that Jesus is like alright this is too much I'm coming right now, this has to stop.

Doubt it.. unless you factor in trans-humanism.

Peeves about the internet:

-Everyone is an obnoxious jerk who will crap all over you because their real lives are very lackluster.
-You can't enjoy anthropomorphic animals without people crapping all over you accusing you of being a furry.
-Clickbait has been the proven method for making an easy buck.
-The mere mention of politics and religion can start an online war.
-Anyone can become a celebrity regardless if they can handle the fame or not.
-You discover new fetishes you never thought would actually be a thing and wished you never found out.
-One wrong post on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and other social media sites can end your career.
-Celebrities and content creators discover very quickly that there is just as much hatedom towards them as there is fandom and they will go beyond sending you hate mail.
-Anyone with drawing talent can create all sorts of messed up "art".
-Proves that high school popularity really does matter.
-People you never met will gladly ruin your life for some cheap laughs.
-Spreads rumours and lies faster than word of mouth ever could.
-Ads, pop ups, and viruses.
-Everyone on the internet claims to have a high IQ, a rare personality type, is an expert at something, and is a tough guy who can beat you.
-Cat videos can easily garner millions of views while an animation that took months to complete will be lucky to have that much.
-Forums and comments sections filled with men and women in their 20's and 30's acting like middle school students.
-Went from being a fun place to share content to becoming a hyper-competitive business field.
-Multiplayer video games went from being a group of friends hanging out in a living room with pizza and drinks to playing with toxic online game communities that make multiplayer games a lot less fun. Video games shouldn't have to require thick skin in order to be enjoyable.
-Made it possible to make a career from playing video games which over ten years ago would have been a sign of guaranteed failure and a lack of maturity.
-Made all sorts of freakish lifestyles socially acceptable in the 21st century.
-Have one bad day in public and you'll likely end up a viral video.
-Kids today growing up with their baby pictures and videos posted on the net. This would embarrass the heck out of me, given my own personal history that I want to forget about.
-Anyone on social media can form an angry mob.
-That sex tape you reluctantly made with your boyfriend probably has millions of views on pornhub right now.

Sadly, this is true.

I'm not even sure if a lot of these "lifestyles" are inherently un-Christian.

Because we just do, Multi. Isn't that enough?

Go on.

 

[MehGuy]

Go on.

Go on what? The Bible is silent about many of these issues. I do feel bad, I get messages from some Christians who are in such lifestyles and they're racked with guilt when they probably don't need to be even in a Christian perspective.

What makes you so sure their lifestyle is in line with a christian perspective though? What is this based on?

What lifestyles are we even talking about..? Knowing me you should know what I'm talking about.. just hope we're on the same page.. if you want to have a debate about if such lifestyle is fine for a Christian to partake in I'm game.

You're a great person Multi, always giving and looking to give. Don't be hard on yourself.

As far as the internet goes, my rule of thumb was for a long time if it started interfering too much with what I had going on offline - whether it be relationships, my mood, my focus, etc. then I take a step back and take a break. I also believe in following Jesus command not to throw our pearls away to people who don't deserve them, meaning if someone clearly isn't listening to something you know to be true, or if they clearly don't care to know, then you don't continue to try. You have to be wise in knowing when something is or isn't worth your effort, and over time you'll be able to spot it a mile away and avoid it before it even starts. It's a learning process.

We all deal with our own selfishness. It's not a competition, God meets you where you're at and encourages you to grow in your love for others. It's something we all should be working on - less "me", more others. I'm not sure your scripture reading habits, but the more time you spend reading scripture if you find that's lacking, the more you'll naturally want to care for others more from my experience. We live "not by bread alone" but by God's words.

Rest in Jesus's love for you.
