In Islam suicide is a sin too.

Sometimes clerics refuse to
do prayings for a deceased who died by suicide.

Please don't hurt yourself. :(

No one has a flawless life. Every single person struggles with something - autistic or not.

Even though I'm odd and alone, there's still a lot of beauty and wonder in the world to enjoy.

Islam is the same god. He wants to punish people, if people kill themslves they escape his punishment. God hates me that’s why he sent me here with such contradictions as punishment. He made me a social people person then made it so I’d never be able to fulfill those needs by making me defective so I’d never be good enough for any woman.
So I live alone secluded away from people slowly dying inside as god wanted. I must been a Nazi in past life or some other horrible person.

Sadly I can’t. I’m afraid to go to hell. Though I may anyways, since just about everything is a sin. I’m afraid of death as well unless it’s quick, but my life is living hell. I die inside more and more every day.
I don’t think everyone struggles at least not as bad and I don’t care about people with perfect life struggling cause they can’t buy a 4/5th car. They have a partner, kids, nice home and multiple cars they aren’t struggling. They’ve never had to feel unlovable by he opposite sex. Most of them have never gone more then two weeks without a partner. Oh but when they are in that week or two alone they complain about how horrible it is. I thinks like you’ve(them) had 10+ bfs, never gone past two weeks without a bf, I’ve never had a friend or been loved every, you(them) have no idea what being alone is like.

but the people who are granted all those things worry excessively about losing it all, at least subconsciously. they react violently when you mention that misfortune can happen to anybody, they'd rather just keep whistling past the graveyard.

I just keep trying in everyday aspects of who I am and what I want from people and myself and trying to stay positive no matter what the outcome of the time just keep doing what you feel in your heart is right the rest will fall into place

Because we're too much into logic, not enough into emotion.

No most of the time they enjoy their life and relationship. Most people enjoy life. We are minority who doesn’t.

I have same feelings about God. I didn't stop believing in him, but I don't think that he is a loving, good God anymore. It sucks because everyone tells me I need to still accept God no matter what, and these same people seem to not show any empathy because they'll all dress it up in positive speaking. Now I think he sounds like a kind of universal dictator, entrapping us between just living here, worshiping in his manner (manor) for eternity or being punished in disgusting torment for eternity. I don't "choose" to be damned to Hell or suffer for eternity, it's not really my fault that the system is corrupted and it can harder to function as a result. You can only do so much in such a setup.

god=Yahweh="all that is." and we are all part of "all that is." that means we all are a part of God, and God is a little part of each of us, the divine spark within. we are both the creator and the created. heavy, huh? :idea:

After 3 marriages, psychotic ex-boyfriends, and HORRIBLE first dates, I've succumbed to living like a gypsy with my cat. Problem solved! :D

I also don't like heightism. It doesn't matter if it isn't entirely dooming, it's still out there and very painful.

I thought feminists of the 60s and 70s wanted acceptance. Why don't I see true equality today? All I am seeing is acceptance of different size/shapes of women, but not movements to accept slightly shorter men.

It looks like double standards today are worse.

I would gladly trade my height for some of the social intelligence of some popular compact men I've known.

It won't really change what I believe in the end of the day. It's also a double standard of social expectation, and this is one of the times where men are the ones who are facing bigotry.

I've been there. And people telling you just to have more faith does not help... at all.

I'm still a Christian. I thing I've noticed is that even though some people are rubbish at being caring there's things about Christianity that I totally agree with. The basics... love your neighbour and so on. If people would stop thinking about building their own materialistic little bubbles and actually reach out to others the world would be a better place. So my rationale is that I can't control how others apply their faith and what they do. I am responsible for how I act and I'm going to keep at it. I'm going to try my best to be the kind of person that makes the world a better place and just forget about all the people who made me feel disillusioned.

Things have changed for me. I've moved. I made new friends and they seem to be quite positive people. It's been a horrible road to get here, but I'm in a good place now mentally and locationwise.

I sometimes feel a bit put out... Why did it have to take so long for me to find my niche.? I've been struggling for years and years. But if I take a positive spin on it, all that pain I went through has made me a more empathetic and understanding person. I don't believe in pre-destination or anything like that. I don't believe anyone's life is meant to happen a certain way. I'm just Trying now to have a positive outlook and draw some wisdom from the bad experiences I had and use that to move forward.

Still single. Met someone recently who seemed ideal for me... nd me for him. He seemed to really like me. But he turns out to be commitment phobic so that didn't work. I don't think I'm going to ever manage this romance thing, but I've just got to work with the life of got and try and find happiness in what I've got.
