  • 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.

1) Pride - I have a lot of pride when it comes to things I know very well. And sometimes it closes my ear to listen to other's opinions.

2) Need for acceptance - I need approval and acceptance from others. Now I am not totally crazy over these. But sometimes it is obvious, looking back, what I was doing to get acceptance.

Some who have my thoughts would say that they're "struggling" with suicide. Me, I'm in full agreement with it so there's no struggling about it. I do, however, struggle with interacting with women on a purely social basis. I do fine in a professional setting because I know the rules by which the interaction is bound and can therefore can operate within them. In social situations, my brain panics and the stupid takes over and I end up wondering if I'm going to jail for talking to them.

Lately, I've been struggling with self-worth, loneliness, impatience, and overall stress. 2015 was really rough for me, mentally and emotionally, and I'm still trying to recover from that.

wow, all of you have just been so open and honest and REAL

great thread MehGuy

I struggle with depression, lack of self worth, between failures in my social life and professional life I feel worthless most of the time

I am bad with money, I am generous with others but I also waste a lot on frivolous stuff

I struggle with porn...... tbh it has not been much of a struggle recently, feeling like giving up..... :/

Yeah, I'm not the best with money either. Especially when I'm feeling down. My inhibition to spend lowers.
