Whelps like me. Need to be cast out. You guys with Real power,Real skills,you're fortunate. I have a sonic pulse,can run a block. But,you're all admitting nothing. All I can say is God has a sense of humour and I'm the pun of the century. I just... Want to be SOMEBODY special. But right now,I'm just a roll up smoking weakling who gets a headache when he quits. I must have one bad Karma cause from how I'm feeling. I know what I wrote is the honest to God truth.

I don't know about you, Singer1984, I'm TIRED of being the 'strong' one. Had a real flashback yesterday, a certain phrase was repeated, almost broke out in tears about the recent lost love on a new date. Made quite an impression!! lol FYI, Not so strong lately.

So many think that when bad things happen to them God is punishing them or testing them. That is not true. The "hurt" we experience in our lives comes from human beings or earthly catastrophes. The "god" that we turn to is for "our" own development and maintenance of personal spirituality that suffers when we face challenges that hurt us.

If you engage in thinking God is punishing you and laughs at you, you are not embracing the purpose of God at all. A presence that is loving and forgiving is worth embracing on a personal level so that as we go through life we realize that when we struggle and don't have "all the knowledge" we can find our way towards accepting that and in that engage to where we continue to learn and grow as an individual. We learn and grow our entire lives.

I'm sorry you feel this way about yourself..

Hi,

All of us have strengths and weaknesses, and although I don't know what your strengths and weaknesses are, I personally think that it takes a lot of strength to recognize that you do have weaknesses and might need others and even God (assuming that you believe in Him, and from your post, it sounds like you do) to help you to achieve what you might see as success. I don't think that I'm allowed to get too specific about religion here, but I believe that God loves us and has conveyed to us that we are worthy creatures, no matter how much we might struggle, and no matter how weak we might feel. It wouldn't surprise me if even the strongest among us have felt weak at times, but in my view, it's when we feel like we're at our weakest when we need to hold onto the idea that we're worthy human beings who are still capable of achieving success, even if it might be on our own terms.

Hi Singer

You know, some would say that the strongest we ever are is when we face that we are weak
And there really doesn't have to be anything wrong in feeling/being weak in areas/at times..........it can be more about the way we accept/cope with/manage it..........
And me.........well I believe that there can be/is something special in everyone despite whatever weaknesses..........I honestly know that may be real hard for you to believe feeling the way you do about yourself.........but hey, I'm believing in something in you
So.........not knowing your situation..........do you think you could help me a little on what might help you??
Maybe there are things that have happened for you that are making you feel this way, that you may need some support with?? Maybe identifying your strengths and achievements?? Maybe trying to find a shift in your perspective on what you see may/may not see as strengths and achievements?? Maybe there are some changes you'd like to make in your life?? Maybe it could help setting some small goals to work on?? Maybe you need some more support systems?? Maybe working on your self esteem could help?? Maybe having some support to feel more in control of your life could help??
But if you want to talk more..........we're here for you..........

What would being "someone special" look like to you? What qualities would you possess which you feel you currently do not? What specifically do you feel God is doing to punish you? Why do you feel God would take this time to punish you when it could be saving starving children or kids being raped? If a God is punishing you, when there are so many better, kinder things it could be doing, what does this say about said god? Has anyone ever told you, you're not special? Has anyone ever told you, you are? The abuse we receive is at the hands of living, breathing, tangible PEOPLE. Were you ever abused by a religious person or told that God is punishing you? People can be quite ugly and evil, no supernatural powers required. (((Hugs)))
