This has been on my mind here as of late, and I can't stop thinking about it.
My teenage years were horrid in terms of relationships. Barely any ladies were interested in me, and the only thing I would hear from ministers was that "men are dogs" and girls were "delicate creatures that needed pampering". No one cared for the youth boys, they just categorized us all into perverts. So, I became bitter.
I still can't shake that bitterness. I can't just move on like it never happened; it made me think how I do today. I want a family and one of those nice white pickett fences, and perhaps a nice SUV to put the cherry on top of the sundae haha! But after being bullied for so long about how I'll "never get married", it has made me see things in a more pessimistic view. I don't mope around and act depressed; I'm quite funny and can be an extrovert. I'm living in one of those depressed clichés where once you go home you "take the mask off and act sad". But in my case, I go home and wonder if I should give up relationships.
P.S, I've been told since I was 12 that I'm "too young" and should just wait, that it'll "all work out". That advice got me to where I am today and would leave me angry at the church through out my teenage life. So, don't say any of that.
