This is a link to Seoul's recent thread. - Have a read of at least Seoul's first post and you will understand what I am saying much better.

I've been thinking on this topic with regards particularly to singleness and struggling with it. Aka, as soon as you say you are struggling with singleness the cookie cutter answers are along the lines of "just focus on God more" or "read your bible" or "count your blessings because marriage sucks" or "Take this time to become the Man your wife will want" And while all these answers have a point... I do wonder if they are necessarily the right answer all the time. Are there better responses...? Better ways to deal with it? Is it one of these things where sometimes it is more of a "yep, this sucks, lets ride it out" rather than a, "you need to do this to fix it."
Lately I have been struggling with being single. *gasp* - Why is it almost like a faux pas to admit this? Is it related to the wanting to fix/advise/help someone kind of thing? -
Singleness has been increasingly frustrating me over the last few months. And I don't know... I feel like I've heard all these answers before and they don't particularly help.
What are you thoughts? Do I just need to focus on God more? haha (It's okay if you think so) Anyway, thoughts would be good and I'll end my whiny & rambly post.
