This isn't normal.... Is it?

Just yesterday, after a spiritual battle, I felt a tad weary. I got a moment at work to sit down and I said out loud, "I feel like... not talking to people for a bit." It wasn't that anyone had done anything wrong. But I kind of wondered- "why? Now why would I feel this way?" I read about this lady who talked about say, giving the silent treatment to her husband when she was mad at him. But what would that turn into over time- resentment? The long run. So these Bible verses came to mind- about not forsaking the gathering of the brethren and also to be a witness to people. How could I be a witness if I wasn't interacting with anyone? Sure, I can, but it kind of makes it harder, doesn't it. I was going to message people to let them I wasn't mad- just that I didn't feel like talking, cancel Knit Wits (a crochet/knitting/loom group I started tehehe!) for a bit, not go to church-- just hardly speak and hardly go out. The thought even crossed my mind to not care about fitness anymore-- that's serious for me, man. But after those Bible verses came to mind, I felt like-- even if it was just for a time, taking those actions would kind of run contrary to God's Word. I felt like it was probably of Satan. And I was like, "nope!! I'm keeping on FB, keeping up with Knit Wits, texting, going to church!" I don't regret my choice, I'm thankful for those Bible verses. My point is- maybe you're being spiritually attacked. God is faithful- and I'm happy to remind you that you have spiritual armor. I have a study Bible that explains Ephesians 6:10-18
- I encourage you to read about the armor, not just read the Bible verses. Because commentaries often point out really cool stuff. I think I'll post about it on here, actually.
Resist Satan and he will flee, that's God's promise to us all, and it works!!! I've experienced it for myself. Just try to think of what could happen down the road with the choices you want to make, and what could Satan's agenda be? But you don't have to focus too excessively on that either- pray and read God's Word! God will raise you up!! I care about you. For real. God will raise you up. <3

Get thee to a Christian counselor. Yes, they do exist. Don't rely completely on your pastor or friends. This is serious and you need someone trained in counseling and psychology to help you sort this out. Yes, prayer is called for too, but you would benefit from some professional help. God Bless.

Yes I have social anxiety. But I don't know what GP means.

Awe thanks so much! That was really sweet of you. I tried so very hard to hold my tears. I claim it and will open my Bible

I'm no teenager. That's what everyone thinks not good. I am 20. Will be 21 in May. I don't attend church anymore unfortunately. Yes I will take your advice thanks so much

I don't think you need a doctor (all they'll do is prescribe some meds you probably don't need), but like a few others said just some prayer and talk to a pastor to help you through this phase of life...it's not permanent....

Perfect strangers. I'm not so sure why but I'm guessing it's because of the way I look. A few days ago I asked some guy what type of female do I look like. He says I look like a tomboy I am not a tomboy at all. And that I look hardcore and play sports. That was a little insulting but a compliment I guess. I'm not a girly girl neither. I'm just a regular girl. As the days went by he saw that I was far from what he thought of me. Maybe people fear me. I know that whenever I seen a tomboy, I would get scared. Idk maybe that's not even the problem.

Thanks so much I really needed to know that yes I am a Christian.

I know that it's true. Just the other day I put my nephew in the swing and this lady comes to the park with her child and places her in the swing next to my nephew. I was sitting at the table watching and when I went to swing my nephew a little higher, she immediately took her daughter out of the swing with an attitude. She just placed her in the swing but as soon as I go over there she takes her out. That woman clearly didn't like me whoever she was. These things happens to me and I hate it very much.

Thanks so much I'm trying and I will get better hopefully. You seem to have much more confidence than I do and I'm much older I will definitely take your advice in praying for those who are sad and grumpy..... Or just not in their right mind. Thanks

I struggled with insecurity for a long time. For the life of me, I can't figure out why, exactly; there's no catalyst that stands out in my memory. It gradually subsided with a lot of hardship/growth and a lot of reflection. Maybe that's not relevant to you, but in case it is, know that you've got peeps that can empathize. And then, sometimes people are just jerks. Gotta let those ones roll right off of you!

Huh?!
You're kidding, right?!
Cause I'm not buying this for a second.
But just in case...I like you.
There!
In fact, how about a date together?
(Don't worry, I'm used to rejection, just say get lost. )
But anyway, since you're way over in Norweegiastanville,
we'll have to settle for an on-line experience,
at least until I can get a passport and a plane ticket.
Unless you wanna go for a loooooong boatride.
Anyway, now you have a guy that likes you,
and would be happy to go on a date with you,
AND is annoying and bothersome! Lucky you, !

Okay, make sure you get this first.....
Jesus loves you. Got it?!
JESUS...LOVES...YOU!!!
Now that you have that settled, try taking those situations
and turning them on their ear.
Like, how bout, if someone's giving you the evil eye,
walk up and smile and ask, 'Excuse me, is my hair on straight?'
and while they're looking goofy, say, 'I didn't think so, thanks.'

Or ask one of these 'enemy' peeps what time it is, and
when they tell you say, 'No it isn't.' or 'I don't believe you.' and
walk away. Try not to let them see you giggling as you go, though.
And remember to say a prayer for them.....sincerely.....
just whisper as you walk away something easy, like,
'Dear Jesus, please bless that person with your love today.
Do something special in their life, Jesus, so they know you
love them as much as me. You're such an awesome Savior! Amen.'

Maybe carry some bible verse cards with you,
and if somebody gives you the business,
take out one of those promises, read it to yourself,
(and mean it in your heart for them too,
as you glance up at them once or twice)
put it back in your pocket, smile, and walk away.
They'll go nuts wondering what you read!
And if one has the nerve to follow and ask you,
hand it to them to keep, they may wind up getting saved.
Remember, the Lord knows them that are His...
(and yet He loves us anyway, lol) Let's try to do like He does.
You were right when you said we're supposed to love.
If it came to us naturally, He wouldn't have had to tell us to.
(Or die for the sin of NOT loving...Him OR others.) God bless you.

{Sidenote to tinuviel...}
I agree with Willie, at 16, you're already quite the blessing.
So grateful you are in the body of Christ.
May the Lord bless and keep you in His protective love.

You want to know your purpose, how can you find that out if you need to be told. No, purpose is something you have to discover yourself otherwise you'd be doing what some else thinks you need to be doing. Work work work, so long as you're improving yourself then that's enough. Cars, guys and hating people, I wonder if you can put those all together and deal with them all at once. You need to learn how to drive, get guys and stop hating people or dislike.

Yes I'm a believer. I didn't think anyone knew their purpose in life. I have no idea what's my purpose but I'll find out soon.

Oh well let them. Who cares?
When I dated my ex everyone would look at me because I wore a dress and make up and everything and normal here is walking around like a tomboy.
Here this is considered normal but who decides what's normal?

Would you feel comfortable putting a pic of yourself in your profile or avatar (that way you can change or delete it later if you want)? If we can see what you look like it would make it easier for us to figure out if theres something in your appearance that might be working against you or not. Just a suggestion..

In the US, counselors do not prescribe medicine. IMO, this person needs more than a pastor's (who are for the most part NOT trained in psychology) advice. Hate is a deepseeded emotion that often times needs to be ferreted out by an educated professional. Yes, prayer is important.

I know counselors don't prescribe medicine (they have no prescribing rights) they only suggest CBT cognitive behavioral therapy. But I'm trying to spare her from going to the doctor and getting medicated for no reason other than being down.... There is no reason she needs zoloft or any other anti-depressant for the rest of her life for a temporary down season of life....it will pass just pray and talk to someone....because most of these medicines have horrible side effects such as weight gain, nausea,etc and damage the liver...

Do you really think it's that bad? I don't think I need medicine.
