Having a ranting, pity-party.
All are invited.

I have little social skills and no tact. This makes me sound like I don't have compassion or understanding for people. I'm blunt and people are repulsed by it.
It hurts my feelings when people tell me I WANT to hurt people or that I hate people, when all I did was state facts.
I don't WANT to hurt people and I don't hate most people. (I know I shouldn't hate anyone, but I'm working on it).
People think I'm all uppity when I don't want to go to a gathering of some kind. Or visit. I'm just an intense introvert who wants to stay home or do things on my own. Besides when I do go to these things I either say something stupid, make people feel uncomfortable, or hear something discouraging about one of my ideas or dreams. or all three
I live in a place that has four trees! I'm a tree person; I was raised in the woods!

There. Now that that's out of my system, I feel a little better. Sorry for disturbing anyone.

We live in an artificial world compared to the way things were many years ago. People were farmers, hunters, and gatherers. The duties of men and women were clear.
But we are the same spiritually, with the same spiritual problems. These Spiritual problems revolve around love and the lack of love.
It doesn't help to be surrounded by people who are not as loving as you or are lost in the darkness. Sometimes people who have been hurt want to harden their heart so they may not be as sensitive to your spiritual needs.
Sometimes it's good to be alone, to think about things. Sometimes the answers get clearer without interference. But don't just think about your problems, remember all the blessings that God has showered on us. All the good that can be done and should be done.
Don't worry so much about what people want or think, keep your eyes on Jesus (love) and be of the same spirit as He is.
No Christian should love this world,so don't be surprised if you don't love it either. We are looking for a heavenly city, built by God, where righteousness dwells.
Real love is hard to find and hard to hold on to. How precious it is,more valuable than gold. How precious the love of Jesus is, poured out for us. Don't loose it,hold on to it all your life. This world will pass away but His love is forever.
Things change, it has been said somewhere "this to shall pass". You will not always be where you are now, physically or spiritually, so endure, become stronger, read your Bible, become wiser. Run the race the best you can.
Hope to see you in heaven when this mess is over.
