Once your on the other side, you can look back with compassion. They just did the best they could. In previous generations it was much closer and tight knit, more ingrained, and less access to information.
You ever go through and embarrassment phase? Like realizing some of the things you use to believe?
Got mostly free when I got my licence and own transport. Not relying on them and mixing with non-crazies was a trying time. I went to cult school and everything. that was the 17 thing. But didn’t get free entirely till a few years back when my parents died ( 30 now ) and I took stock of what my subconscious believed, and it was utter horse****. Why I’m on the site.
I found that for me, the anger was needed to distance myself from them, to defy them, to protect myself physically and also my mind. I was like coming out as gay, admitting that I’d never believed in the man behind the curtain and I thought a large portion of humanity was nuts.
Then, once I was free, and interacting with normal people, the anger’s not needed. Some say anger stems from fear, and now they aren’t scary.
Good to hear your story, really. You still have to deal with them in your daily life?
well, the site refreshed for a start, so you wouldn’t go around making comments on things that where “so like 5 minutes ago”
So, religious people. Where you up to with them? I’m going through a feeling sorry stage right now, but been through a fair sized angry one once, and may certainly be heading into another sometime soon. You sound like you managed to get the hell out?
