Maybe I should get used to not being wantedPosted : 1 May, 2024 05:52 PMIt seems like all my life nobody has ever wanted me around, nor did they care. Maybe this is just something I have to live with for the rest of my life. |

Maybe I should get used to not being wantedPosted : 1 May, 2024 07:54 PMMost people grapple with that. You are not alone. Even while alone, you are not alone in being alone. Some people are alone in marriage. Depressed in marriage and all alone while married. We are more alone than Adam ever was. Adam got to walk with God in the Garden and got to name all the animals. Back then, when Adam and God were walking together in the Garden and Adam met all the animals and gave them names, God said it is not good for the man to be alone. Now when we are more alone than Adam ever was, the Bible tells us it is good for a man not to marry. (Matthew 19:10 and 1 Corinthians 7:1) So, we deal with that. Some choose to volunteer. Some choose to be a Big Brother. Some choose different involvements to fill the need for relationship. We are relational beings. Some choose to support disadvantaged children in poor countries. Some people choose to have pets. A dog is a good companion. I think you need to get out more. I think you need to join a group. I enjoyed men's prayer breakfast and reading different books by various Christian authors in a men's group at church. Try a few things! You may get lucky and find more meaningfulness. You may even meet a woman. |

Maybe I should get used to not being wantedPosted : 2 May, 2024 10:41 AMMaybe you just happen to be around the wrong kind of crowd. When you're in the right crowd, you feel appreciated and wanted. So, keep searching! Don't get stuck in the wrong environment. I heard a saying once, "Move. You're not a tree." You can move where you are needed. |

Maybe I should get used to not being wantedPosted : 3 May, 2024 05:16 PMFinding true friends is more often than not an exercise in futility. LD rightly point out how a man won't know his true friends until he has nothing. The reason for that is most people are opportunist and will gladly pretend to be friends with someone as long as they get something from him. Sadly I believe far to many people who claim to be Christians aren't any different. I say this because of my own experiences and as I've learned even loved ones can be that way. |

Maybe I should get used to not being wantedPosted : 4 May, 2024 07:37 AMWNT that's a very good suggestion as women do see men with a dog in a very favorable light. |
