Why don't people accept me for who I am?

[Hazelelponi]

In that case everyone who is saved has dignity.

every human being and created thing deserves dignity.

 

[eleos1954]

I tried that. It was an epic fail and only got worse.

Am very sorry to hear that ... well ... if someone is mean to you then don't have conversation with them and pray for them.

Amen!

Snoder. His insults toward me and Rene were what got him banned and a thread locked.

I had no intention of insulting anyone. If you think I wrote something that was insulting please let me know and I would be happy to correct it.

That is easy to do in person, but on a message board, obviously bullies are going to say crap about me in threads even if they are not talking to me directly, so it can't be avoided. I ignored some posters but then their means posts were quoted so I read bullying by them anyway. This circles back to my inability to find people offline who want to be my friends, which is partly caused by the same disabilty that gives me a lot of problems on evil message boards.

at least you're no longer a part of a forum where people are treating you poorly.

do other people on the spectrum also mistreat you? someone mentioned finding other people on the spectrum to befriend.

The only reason I don't post on that forum is all the bullies forced me to break the rules while moderators let them get away with murder, always banning the wrong person. If they had treated me with respect so I would not feel like they were bullying me, I never would have been suspended for what CF calls flaming. I joined a Christian forum knowing people who love and follow God are not mean to those with disabilities.

People on the ASD spectrum do not treat me like crapl. Unfortunately there are not enough Aspies to talk to.

 

[S.O.J.I.A.]

one thing that needs to be said is that mercy, sympathy, and pity are free.

respect...you have to earn that.

But what does God in His Word say ?

"God is NO RESPECTER of persons"
and also
"Jesus did NOT give Himself (did not entrust Himself?) to ANY man, for HE KNOWS what is in man"

I apologize for not realizing you have a disability when I was posting back and forth with you over the last few weeks or so - I posted just as I would with anyone ....

Some time in the future, perhaps we can discuss some things more gently (or sanely) , in a way helpful for everyone ?

this will work if you're content with only having the LORD's company.

when you would desire to go outside and enter relationships with other human beings, things are a bit different.

I think Jesus trained the permanent disciples , even when going out town to town, city to city, house to house, NOT to trust anyone in the flesh,
NOT even to trust in themselves,
but to trust the heavenly Father in and for all things, no matter who is involved, and no matter what the Father says to do and to say.

I think we may be discussing two different things.

 

[B8t6]

1 Timothy 3:10 (KJV)

10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

I agree that respect is earned as you even see this in Scripture that people are judged by their works/actions

Revelation 2.23 (KJV)

23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
