I haven't encountered this particular problem (though, I can see how it would be hurtful.) I'm not so sensitive that I get upset when someone asks me if I am married or if I have a boyfriend. What does drive me crazy though is when people ask me why I am still single. How the heck are you supposed to answer that!?! "Because no one wants me or finds me attractive?" I know that I am beautiful in God's eyes and that I am complete in Him, with or without a man, but sometimes people can just be so insensitive.Michel-lynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835448016223929937.post-38045220194792491642013-06-02T14:14:03.429-07:002013-06-02T14:14:03.429-07:00Sometimes empathy, which is what you are expecting...Sometimes empathy, which is what you are expecting to receive as the norm, enables your self pity and bitterness. I can say that because I spent all of my twenties in your shoes and now that I am in my thirties, I can only wish that someone told me to get over it. Read The Bait of Satan: Living Free From the Deadly Trap of Offense.... become free from your bitterness and expectation that people treat you a certain way. Posting a blog like this is your intention to receive a sense of justice. When you read the above book with an open mind, you will understand this is sound wisdom. Act like Christ who didn't get pissed off on the cross at everyone mocking him. I am sorry sister in Christ, you are in the wrong. The truth hurts. Embrace life as it is given to you daily. There is nothing wrong with being single. It is a different road. God is your identity, not culture or the way people treat you. Go see a counselor and get over this. I did and now I live freely without offense and expectations that people treat me a certain way. Relate to others where you can and leave it at that. Don't expect the environment to change to conform around you. Pissing, whining and venting on a website is not going to get you what you are looking for. χάριτος γνώσεις έλεοςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991854953108960266noreply@blogger.com
