  Suicidal fear of rejection.

  by seven006 in

  the fear of rejection has once again controlled my life and my actions in an unintentional act of self destruction brought on by how i was raised to view life.

  i have come to the conclusion that i will probably be battling this psychological whirlpool of self sabotage for the rest of my life and i do not think i have the ability to completely eliminate it.

  talking about it here is a start.

  dave,

  i read your post all the way through. I too fear rejection, it mpacts my life in a big way.. however, i have been i therapy for a while and i feel much better. I am actaully gaining some self esteem. Jws have done a number on me-and my parents have too. But , as my therapist says, i am an adult now and i can choose. he's helping me . seriously dave, this sh*t does not just go away. One thing u can do for yourself is journal. just as u did today-write it out and , well it helps. But like any kind of disease, you need a doctor. I don't mean u need medication, but u need to have someone u can talk to that can really help u to overcome this. And it is a slow process. One thing my doc has told me is he intends to get as much fun out of life before he has to go. I never thought about life being fun. But i am trying to have some fun know. It feels great.

  I always enjoy your posts.

  I used to watch (many years ago) a guy with a beard and who wore a big cowboy hat, and smoked a cigar. i believe. Now he was not especially comforting, but he was a hoot. I recoil at anyone who even vagely resembles Tammy faye baker (who actually he a really nice person- have seen her on non-christan talk shows-shes a hoot too) I will stop an listen to some of the christan broadcasting and sometimes it helps, but then they start that ranting about hellfire-and they lose me there. I refuse to listne to that nonsense. .I've checkd out he 700 club but when they get to that healing stuff, well either i watch for entertainment-or move on. Hope that does not sound unchristan-i just do not believe God heals people. Not like that anyhow.

  On a odd note-it was actually a christian broadcast that lead me to this spot., They were talking about cults and mentioned Somehow the catholic church and jw came up about child molestation. that lead me to silentlambs b/c i remember seeing the name on the screne. i went to the sight and eventually after research on internt ended up her.

  Did Being JW make YOU a Social Misfit or HERMIT?

  as i sat quietly in my apartment...staring at the computer screen, i got this overwhelming feeling of being totally alone.

  don't get me wrong, i feel comfortable alone.

  but, how did i end up this way?

  yes, i understand, i have spent so many years keepng my distance form people b/c they were bad association, that i now find i have trouble just being friendly.All the years i worked and never made close friends, now if i saw those same people and tried to strike up a friendship-well they would wonder what was wrong with me. I have decided the only way is to join some some orgs. but my hubby is resistant-he'd rather live in what i call pergertaroy.(ex sp). I'm determind to beat this-yes the org makes it easy ot find friends, that is part of the draw.But it is so conditional, screw up and u are out. Most people don't have 100 friends in the "world" but u don't have to have that many. a few is all u need. Real friends.

  society doesn't care about how outsiders view them.

  They do so care.

  They care about their image and jmoney. I have been in the org all my life and that is all they care about. screw up and you'll find out-or not even screwup-just think for yourself-you'll find out

  hi

  i never gave up hard rock, Queen, Meat Loaf, (i'm somewhat older than u) and SNL. Or occult movies, we proudly announce we had seen ghost busters. My hubby and i never gave up our right to decide what we wanted to do in the bedroom, we always celebrated new years eve, i wore short skirts an heathern makeup.I danced as i pleased. i drank as much as i pleased(lots of bros do this) but of course none of the alochol ever produced smelly farts , as i have a very hygenic gasto intestinal system.

  ACTUALLY,

  my hubby and i were at marriage counseling once. We had finished the session and we were saying goodbye to the therapist. I had ate a lot of prunes that day due to "back up".I leaned over and out came a really loud ugly soundling fart. Thank goodness it did not smell. I was so emabarrassed i just could not even look at the doc and my hubby said"my name!!". the he and the doc started laughing. I was mortifed.
