Actually, I think this is MY therapy sometimes :D

That's how we know we are truly loved...when we are loved in spite of ourselves. It sounds wierd, but there are times when one person's shortcomings can be endearing to others.

A man that I have the greatest respect for once told me that the definition of intimacy is, "being fully known and fully loved." In other words two people in a relationship being fully aware of each others shortcomings and failings and loving each other in spite of it.

I thought I would clarify my original post, my great fear is not so much people finding out my past, but of them judging me based on my past instead of my present life. It seems to be human nature to label people according to their past actions instead of their present actions.

Not that I think you're doing this, but I have found that a lot of people who are trying to convince me to not judge them on their past often have a truncated definition of past. Yes, 5 minutes ago was in the past, but no I'm not going to ignore it.

Anyways, this was a total hijack, it doesn't seem as though you're talking about your recent past. Just something that bothered me and you happened to be the unwitting person who reminded me of it.

Cheers!

No one knows that I have this fragile, sad little boy inside of me who has a big warm heart, but is often too scared and lonely to lift his head up and talk to someone or even just to look around.

God knows, and, God cares , just look up, and, after doing it once, keep on looking up, it's only the Enemy who wants you to look down .
+++++++-+++++++
And, I can relate, sometimes, with work mostly, I put on a persona that is edged , like when a big sale is at stake. Edge-ed. No, not unethical, at least I pray I stay true to God in my work. But, I am in sales, and, sometimes I just want to break down because the work is tough . But then I run to my Loving God and everything changes inside me, sometimes miraculously so. :)

Zere, I hope you can read between the lines of this song, for God is not mentioned but Twila Paris, whose concert I once attended, BTW, is a devout Christ follower. I think she is I should say, I haven't heard much of her making music lately.

Thank you Ed, and thank you for the song. I've been this way since I was a child. I never had many friends and was often made fun of and bullied because I looked different from everyone else due to my ethnicity. I know that God cares, but the sad part is that sometimes it feels like He is the only one who does. Maybe if I was rich or had friends to hang out with or a gf I wouldn't sink into that sad lonely place in my soul, but then again something tells me that this is just part of who I am. God bless.

Gabe, people who see someone for their ethnicity only are people not worth having as friends. If they didn't love you for your tender heart and gentle humor, it's their loss. :)

i definitely hide the side of me that NEEDS anyone's approval.
i like to pretend for a second that i am self sufficient and i wouldn't care at all if you rejected me.

but the truth is. i DO need you (a very general you)
and it will sting like wildfire if you reject me.

i will get over it of course. but. it will only serve to add to a culmination of rejections from people, and further underline my belief that i really CAN'T be myself.

i'm probably not fooling anyone. my insecurities likely show.
i wear my heart on my sleeve. BUT. i do TRY to hide it.

i have this tendency to isolate when things got messy at times and i guess it didn't really helped my problems. So I joined here hoping could have someone to talk to and encourage as well in a Godly manner. ^_^

----God is with you always, friends will and won't, the Lord leads, He will never leave you, forsake you. Truly, too, you do have friends, too, right here on c.c. , like me, and, others numbering so many. :)

This below is a song, Zere, that lets you know vía one of the best song artists of all time. Many might not know this but this song doesn't just speak of one person approving of you for being you but of Jesus being through 'worst of times' for your, and, my and everyone of our disapproval act (sin) by His father, God. At least that is how, right now, anyway, I am asking you to see it.

Like julieannie says, God doesn't want you with friends that break you down. I know, if you pray to God that you really want friends to hang out with, or, even a girlfriend, GOD will deliver! And, He may not deliver a girl, or, even a friends (s) but He will deliver an answer that you will understand . And, be blessed by for being just the way you are to Him...faithful, trusting, caring, and, personally spending time with Him. :)
