What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I’m of the opinion it’s better to work on yourself. Do things you enjoy and are passionate about. That may sound a little egocentric but how will you meet someone with the same interests unless you’re doing those things? Going to bars is a crap shoot. It’s like that box of chocolates- and usually you’re gonna get one that is filled with liquor. I’ve done that and it’s like.. disappointing always.
Go to the range. Go to church. Go work out. Go do some volunteer work. Do you have a dog? Go to a dog park near you. Or a dog friendly beach. Do you have hobbies? Just do them. Don’t rule out work related friendships, though that’s sometimes frowned upon. The point is, stop looking. Try to be your best self and I firmly believe God is going to plant someone in front of you when you’re not really looking.
God has forsaken me. I go to the dog park all the time, I fish all the time, I go to church with my grandmother and my father whenever I visit but my social anxiety prevents me from regularly attending, I put in time on the range occasionally but ammunition is expensive...
I'm not a model or example by any means but I have literally mastered my trade and can go anywhere and yet I'm lost. I'm in the Rocky Mountain's, some people need the ocean but I need my Rockies. It's hard to meet women when you're always hunting, fishing or backpacking. I won't hit on anyone on a jobsite... I'm happy and lost if that makes sense.
Everything I am passionate about has been slowly taken or made too expensive. It's depressing what has happened. A stolen van with every tool I own, cheating ex wife and putting down my dog because of a brain tumor after 9 loyal years hasn't broken me but has brought me close. I sprung my new enormous kid from the clink a year ago and he's been my rock... actually it's warm enough now I'm gonna go throw a stick in the river for him for a bit.
I just want a nice simple and honest woman to share life with. My 100lb pup certainly helps with the loneliness but it would be nice to share my bed and have someone to support and encourage and offer the same in return... plus I'm tired of fighting for blankets when dumb dumb has his own bed.
God hasn’t forsaken you. Never. You’ve been hit with challenges, for sure. I’m sorry about all that. I’m happy to hear about your new dog! I know it’s hard to meet people, especially if you’re doing things that are kind of typically male oriented. What about a church related thing? Hit up garage sales if there are any in your area. You can find good tools cheap. I bought a sweet Dremel scroll saw recently for basically nothing. People move, they want to get rid of things. It’s just a good resource right now for saving money. But I know it isn’t easy. I’m on that same path and you just can’t give up. I almost got married in the marine corps and wasted a ton of money on a ring and then got jitters and called it off but it was because I knew she wasn’t the one. And then it’s like.. wading through mud trying to meet people and date and one day I decided to count my blessings and just stop the madness. I have a dog that hogs the bed, too. I just think people like us need to keep an open mind, work on positivity, our bodies, minds and our faith. We’ll be ok.
I have social anxiety, I certainly believe in God but also believe half the shit written by man has it wrong. Old lady perfume and endless bad music annoys me. I have never once witnessed someone speaking in tongue in Walmart or Home Depot... or anywhere. They start blathering in church conveniently between song breaks for attention.
On the other hand we have satanic ritual and child sacrifice to Satan proven. Let's just say I found a reason to pray again because I found the devil. I don't socialize and can't stand phony people in any church. I'd love to meet a nice Christian lady anywhere however I am skeptical after watching my aunt whip foster kids with electrical cords and then go hold her hands the highest in the front pew.
