Where do I start?
Friends: I thought I was starting to make some really good friends at college until last Monday when everything just seemed to change. The girls would hug me as soon as I saw them but only one of them did, then at dinner time they just seemed to blow me off a little, then I was walking out of the dance mill and I said bye to them but they just seemed to completely ignore me. I've been off college for a week now but that's because I can't get there because I can't walk at the moment cos I've got a huge infected blister on my foot and I won't see them for another three weeks now because tomorrow I'm going to my mum's just cos I can't get the train cos of walking. I just don't know what to do....I've texted them and they've ignored me, or they've been short with me. It's not just problems with these two though, it's problems with friends as a whole. I've always struggled to make friends, I have no idea why, is it because I'm a loser? A loner? A freak? Do I come across as being snobby to people? I hope it's none of those :( but ever since I moved back to Halifax I've really realised that none of them were true friends, they've not contacted me, it's all been me, they only contact me or talk to me if they want something. I've prayed to God about this for years (yes I'm terrible at praying.....sometimes I don't pray for months but thats only because I feel so discouraged because I feel as though God doesn't answer me) but on Saturday night I just cried myself to sleep over my friends
Family: Recently I've felt as though a lot of my family have let me down so much, particularly with promising to take me to see my dad and they havent....its not like I even asked them to. I confronted my auntie about that yesterday and she said she'll go with me in the easter holidays which starts on monday but she said she'll take me two weeks on wednesday. But they've been making these promises for months! Anyway....onto the next one.....going back to my blister....a lady who used to go to my auntie's and uncle's Church moved to America and she's moved back here now and she stayed with them on Friday and Saturday night....my auntie was telling me that I shouldn't not eat because it's bad for me....then my uncle who thinks he knows the most in the world about food just cos he's lost a lot of weight this past year said that he didn't agree with them because it was a way of losing weight. Then this lady said "No you really need to keep your nutrition up to heal this blister" and my uncle went "well if she was lighter then she wouldn't get blisters" for a start whats weight got to do with getting a blister? NOTHING!! It upset me so much that I had tears rolling down my cheeks, I didn't make it obvious, I'm good at hiding when I'm crying if I'm able to control it...but when I got to bed that night along with the situation of friends I cried myself to sleep about this too! It's not the first time he's said something like this. In 2008 I weighed 16.5 stone and I decided that I needed to lose weight, so I did, in 6 months I nearly lost 6 stone and it sort of came to a stand still. I haven't put any of the weight back on but I'm trying to lose a couple more stone because I need to. In September when I first started going to auntie's and uncle's every weekend / every fortnight my auntie commented on how well I'd done and I said that I wanted to lose more and she were like "no you look fine to me" but my uncle went "No I think she needs to lose more weight" you know what.....I know it myself, but I can't handle that someone would be so rude to say something like that when they know how hard it is themselves to lose weight. I'd say he's hypocritical for saying that....especially after this weekend. He's yoyoed up and down with his weight for years and years and years, he's lost it, put it back on, lost it, put it back on....he has lost a lot since last March but he seems to think that once he's lost it that he knows everything about food....this weekend he's eaten way more than I have....yet he had the cheek to turn around and say what he said to me on Saturday evening?! Talk about word eating! It's really hurt me what he's said...I saw him constantly looking at me yesterday to see if I was eating and today I've barely eaten anything....I went to a funeral and there wasn't much food anyway but all I ended up having was two little pieces of pastry things (this was at around 2pm....I hadn't eaten anything all day up until then) I got back to my other auntie's and uncle's and I've continued to not eat here too even thought I know they would never say anything like that.

I just don't know what to do, I don't know who my friends are, I don't know who my family are, I don't know where my life is going, I don't know how to listen to God :(

Thank you Pickles :) well I think all the crying and praying has been paying off even though it's not been hours of prayer about it. But it's strange how you can write about Swan Lake and feel like your friendship is getting back on track. Been speaking to my mum about what my uncle said......you know what....he's not worth it :)

I'd still appreciate peoples prayers though cos I am going through so rough times at the moment xx

Immy, guys can be very rude sometimes (I once hurt my little sister without knowing it, untill she told me what I said.). I think weight issues aren't that important for guys as it can be for girls, so guys often joke about it. Don't mind that, just make sure you're happy with yourself, and that God is happy with you.

I'll pray that God provides you happiness and good times with Him :)

He has no right to talk to you like that, but if you can manage to ignore him without getting hurt that is wonderful. Remember that by being kind to your enemies you gather hot coals on their heads...

and I know how it feel not being able to make friends, I have lived at this place for over six months now, and the only friend I have here was a girl I knew before moving + her sister. Don't blame yourself for not having more friends, if you are in real life how you are here then it is not because you are a freak or any of the other things you said. (Trust me, I am WAY more freaky :p) Some people just take longer to make friends, and some friends just end up friends without either really having any idea how it happened :)

Try praying even when you don't feel like it. I guess this is not very biblical, but when I am upset I will yell at god, pretty much the same way I do/ feel like doing to people if they made me very angry. It makes me calm down so I can pray in a more relaxed way and perhaps focus better :)

I know some people don't like me on here. Probably cos I say what I think....thats what we're like in Yorkshire....its just to make my point, I'd never go as far as saying something negative about someone though, thats not natural....perfect example of what I'm on about. I were in a shop called Primark the other week with my mum and its a really really busy shop, takes forever to get to the tills and this lass were in one queue and her friend were in the other. We'd queued up behind one of the girls then five minutes later her friend decided she was going to push infront of us to pay with her friend so purely out of annoyance i went "THE CHEEK OF IT!" i dint shout it clearly but i said it loud enough because i wanted to make my point and let her know that it was rude of her to do that. And I'm not sure some people on here can handle that.

Anyway going on to the conversation with one of the girls last night I didn't tell her so obviously that I thought she were avoiding me. I just said "I was worried that I'd lose my friendship with you lot all because I won't see you for the next three week and haven't for the past week" and she were like "Don't be silly, you're like a sister to me" I'm glad I had to the courage to say it though cos it really were getting to me

And as for my uncle....well I'm still LIVID! I don't hate him but he really has upset me, if only he knew how bad it were getting the other week...I were nearly at the point of making myself throw up!

QuestionTime's definition of a loser: "Anyone who will be spending eternity in the lake of burning sulfur." Have faith in Christ and you will never be a loser.

I hope it's none of those :( but ever since I moved back to Halifax I've really realised that none of them were true friends, they've not contacted me, it's all been me, they only contact me or talk to me if they want something. I've prayed to God about this for years (yes I'm terrible at praying.....sometimes I don't pray for months but thats only because I feel so discouraged because I feel as though God doesn't answer me) but on Saturday night I just cried myself to sleep over my friends
You aren't required to pray if you don't want to pray. If you make a law that says you must pray, your sinful desires will awake and lead you away from prayer. Stop making laws and start trusting Jesus now. He has forgiven you, He has made you part of His' family today. He has made you righteous and holy in His' sight. In God's eyes, you are a person who desires to do His' will.

Once you come out from living under a list of rules, your faith will begin to grow in God, and you will want to come to Him more and more. I believe this and am beginning to experience this myself.

Family: Recently I've felt as though a lot of my family have let me down so much, particularly with promising to take me to see my dad and they havent....its not like I even asked them to.

There is only one thing needful imTastik, and that is to believe what God says: You are no longer under the law of sin and death, but you are now under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Forget about having to do anything because as long as you believe you have to do anything you will never succeed.

God's method of success is by faith in His' Son. Just believe. Satan will tell you that you need to do this, this and this, but you tell him to buzz off. Instead, just believe that Jesus accepts you now. You don't need to do anything to be accepted by God. You are already accepted.

The only way to overcome the griefs and sorrows of this world is by faith in Christ. There is no better advice I can give you.

I was doing so well until today!!
My sisters boyfriend came around (again)....I hadn't said a word about him coming round, I politely answered him when he asked me how i were and then they started whispered, I presumed they were whispering about me because I've heard them whispering about me before and so I retaliated, i went "can you stop whispering about me" my sister came into the room and had a right go at me. I got so wound up and so I said "I really don't understand you. Last night you had an argument and you both still insist on seeing each other as much as you do. Common sense says stay away from each other for a few days" anyway long story short we got onto why they'd been arguing and she goes "Have you noticed we always argue when you're here?!" Well this just really turned my attitude! I went "Don't you even dare blame me for your argument! I havent said a word!" then she went "I hate you! I never want to see you again!" she took her shoes off and started belting me with her shoes, I ignored it for a few seconds but then I started shouting and it wound me up even more so I went in to the kitchen and went "Right....you've hit me so I'm gonna do it back!" ok this wasn't the way to react but i just got so angry that i didn't know what to say or do! So i hit her back, not as hard as she hit me at all or for as long! And josh was protecting her so I went "How can you protect her when she's just done worse to me and said what shes said....you hated each other last night!" I went into the living room crying and then I were still proper wound up so i went back into the kitchen, and ok i probably should have said this more calmly but I don't regret what I said because i did mean it. I don't hate Josh but I certainly don't want anything to do with him! I went "Do me a favour Josh and never speak to me again, I don't wanna speak to you anyway and you do my head in!" I went upto my room and must have been crying from 9pm til 11pm. It went from being that my sister had the nerve to blame me for their arguments when I haven't said anything to having no friends, to being let down by family to my dad. I really don't understand why God doesn't answer my prayers, it only discourages me not to pray like I said, I've been praying for friends for maybe eight years now because I had a best friend until i was 12, she said she didn't want anything to do with me anymore and I almost became suicidal, she meant so much to me as a friend. I've not had one friend since her that I've been so close to, not one friend that I feel has cared about me exactly. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to go through life without having true friends :(

God doesn't answer your prayers because you don't have a living faith ImTastik. God never once agreed to answer our prayers unless we abide in Him by faith. It's only when we abide in Him and consequently are walking in holiness and purity daily that He will answer our prayers.

This is why I gave you the response that I did. You need to find this living faith in Christ.
So re-read my post and start placing your faith in Jesus.

1 John 3:
5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Trust me ImTastik, for 17 years as a Christian I have gone without answered prayers. Now I am coming to Jesus in faith.
