CAN IT BE DONE??? (page 2)

In all my communication with ona before we met I knew exactly what to expect and wasn't disappointed one bit, in fact I was pleasantly surprised!

I'm glad to see the two of you finally "got a room"

I've also met some people who I've learned are pretty dysfunctional.

You got me!

oof.

I have made some awesome friends on the net(I started to name them all but gosh I have met a lot of people) and I have been hoodwinked by a few that "were not as they appreared" Can you say DYSFUNCTIONAL LOL

What I do say is this is an awesome way to connect but it has to be taken into a real life arena at some point. I have talked to many that I may never get to meet on the phone. The thing is I am who I am and if they aren't well that's just too bad.I also am more willing to trust people that others have met..there are some that seem NEVER to connect with anyone and that does make you wonder.

I have made a few friends online and even flew to the mid-west to stay with them for a week. I met another girl through a mutual topic list (never seen her face to face) but we talk regularly by email and phone. I think it is possible as it is just like any other friendship. It takes work on both sides to keep the lines of communication open.

This saddens me when I say it, but I really only have one friend left from JW land. It is quite a shock to have hundreds of so called friends -- but when push comes to shove in this religion -- you really dont have anyone. I value the friendships I have made online -- as they are proving to be "true" friends.

One of the very hardest things we must do in our recovery is reach out to other people; and, in some few cases, find disappointment.

But one of the the most surprising rewards we discover is that by far and away the vast majority of those we meet are true, genuine, honest, humble, sincere people...who like us are simply looking, and hoping, for a re-connection with humanity.

It's scares us all to heck, and yet we must do it, if only for our own sanity.
