Very insightful. I have struggled with the same issue, although I hadn't realized it had been given a "name". Personally, I miss not only the touch, but the sense of community I knew in years past before technology made our world so much smaller and so much less personal.
After taking some time to think about it really does seems that a lot of what I don't all comes back to a fear of isolation from God and Man. Though I can't really figure out how I'd be isolated from God... Anyways, looks likes I'll need to get this fixed before I can find a girlfriend.
You know, dothackbuddy, and, how ya doin', long time no hear from ya, but, anyway, that's probably me, I don't always peruse the singles forum when I'm preaching fire and brimstone if not love and grace offered up to others since God is love and because of grace we are SAVED !
And, then, reading here from Eph. 2:8, there is that next little part about what, prinnydotdisgaeabrother? Faith. Right?
OK, so, you have this certain genuineness about you and sincerity of your posts, in fact, if there is a more sincere and devout person to becoming unlonely on c.c. I want to meet them. You are tops in that category and guess what? People like to read what you have to say, that is why I included peachkeenly's quote above, she said what you said was 'insightful' for your title of this thread you did way back when. And, I know others have commented too, 20s, 30s, here, 40s, me 40s
, but, ya get the picture, don't you. YOU are interesting !!!!!
Want more 'interesting?' LOOK at your number of posts, 1,493 , that's not many, yet LOOK at your rep power??? You are one lower than me (and, I doubt that lasts long, my wise, accepted, nurturing young man to others
) AND I HAVE FIVE THOUSAND FREAKIN' PLUS POSTS !!!
There is something about you that is unique, different, and, let's not forget the next word that goes with these two words, I think, 'special.YOU are special, my friend, in a very unique, different, way--SPECIAL, and, you're approval rating on c.c. proves it ~~!
Anyway, I am not sure what you are saying about seperation from God and man but when you talk, you are LIKE E.F. Hutton, people listen . Sure, too, there are those that keep telling you to shut up already about your loneliness and blah, blah, blah, but YOU always--and this can be why so many MUST 'like' your posts, you always are tender, kind, back. LOL, I've not been sometimes, probably lost some of my friends on c.c. telling them to try being POSITIVE with you because, if for no other reason, it's fair to say I see now, YOU are always positive back
You are dejected, depressing sounding, and, I get that, I see why others grow tired of you constant complaining but my whole point is here: You do it gracefully. And, this is where I end.
YOU are saved by grace !! From NOTHING you did, dhnotazero, God saved you, YOU are a special number to God, anything but a ZERO!!
You need to get yourself truly TOUCHING the hand of God and, I guarantee it, IF you can more and more focus and center and drive yourself to God things, like church Sundays, mornings and evenings (go to another church if they don't have night service), and, singles group is good too, that fellowshipo is good,and, you are INTERESTING if you have the faith God's given you TO BE
Anyway, I pray you can take to heart what the Lord says here, this I pray, the Lord leads, you are soooo interesting here, so, become interesting there, out in the real world.
I know you can you just have to QUIT being hungry for 'skin' and start being hungry for feeling God's touch. And, if you ask, you can be certain God will touch you and He will by so doing, truly touch your life
