my younger sibling is actually the shitty friend so

I don’t think it’s strange, and I guess it’s countercultural but most people don’t have “serious” relationship experience until their mid 20s anyways. they just have relationship experience. 

are you asking for my personal opinion or are you asking me to confirm whether or not it’s countercultural. if someone can’t give you what you want then yes, dip. it’s always going to be frustrating advocating for yourself lol. youre good.

I don’t practice therapy. Depends on what the past behavior is. Coping isn’t really a healthy way to live, wouldn’t advise it. There are alternate ways to engage the residual effects of past behavior(s).

Depends on understanding what happened in their past, how it’s affecting their present, and how they anticipate it impacting their future. Must have intentional, thoughtful conversations with self about all three.

I do have regrets here and there but I never feel consumed by them. I’d recommend reading, or at least taking a look at, “The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery” by Sarah Lewis. It might be helpful.

why did you break up your question like that? this happens to me a lot, first of all do you know me in person... second of all it’s tricky to navigate because people get emotional about levels of intimacy. I try to be honest about how I view them and why. some take offense and that’s usually a sign that we’re not supposed to be that close anyways. maybe that approach is flawed but it’s worked thus far.

um, I’m not Jesus. I hate this guilt trip shit white people try to do. I’m not going to expound. thanks.

I delete people from Facebook that I do speak to. It’s weird that people equate online connections to the existence of a relationship in its entirety. It should only be seen for what it is, just an aspect of a relationship. You can have an acquaintance that you’re not connected to online. And if they cut you off because you deleted them you probably don’t want to be in a position where you need that kind of person in the future anyways. 

I wouldn’t

there are so many questions I would have to ask to find out why you don’t love yourself before I could offer you a response of substance

I do. Life exists beyond school.

mm not a major one, I think everyone at a moment in time questions the meaning of their existence. and I’m assuming you’re the same person who sent the other question, I don’t have advice for you because I don’t know anything about you. all I’d have to offer is generic psychobabble and who has time for that.

you can’t see, taste, smell, or hear hope either but you know that it’s real. the same is true for anything that manifests itself beyond tangibles. a relationship with God is a personal journey so what is true for me probably won’t be true for you. I see God in a multitude of ways, most of which have nothing to do with church, a pastor, or the bible. honestly I don’t even go to church anymore. 

I honestly don’t remember what I wrote, that was probably over 4 years ago but what do you mean I can’t perceive God? I don’t think I said that.
