Have you ever felt this way?
Sometimes I feel like I can't do anything right. Or if I am doing something I love to do it somehow is wrong. Have you ever felt that way? Have you felt like nobody will be happy until you do only what they want and not what you need. Sometimes I feel suffocated with the "suppose to's" in life. For me when I feel that way I have to leave for a few hours to find my perspective or talk to someone who is truly going through hard times or a mentor who loves me. I should run to the God but sometimes I just don't. Its wiser to run to God but if you haven't figured out by now I'm not always wise. God does start talking to me and getting me to talk to Him so I can throwup all my complaining on Him. I do think that being in a family full of women you start to think how you see things is wrong because of men tend to see things differently than women. I'm sure if you are a woman in a house full of men you understand how I feel also. I'm just writing about my issues so that maybe it can help others or maybe it will help me. This is where talking to my dad would be good. I hope this isn't taken the wrong way. I have a great wife and family but in real life there are bumps in the road. Leave a comment. I just wanted to see if there was people who felt like me at times. God is still great even when you don't feel great.
how you see things can never be wrong. everyone thinks and sees things differently. i understand what it's like to feel like the only one in a house full of people. i have 5 brothers and a step dad! they don't live with me full time, but when we are all together it can get a bit chaotic. it is overwhelming at times. especially when there is a topic of conversation i don't understand or agree with. arguments can easily start because of the different ways men and women think. it's all about empathy. you have to put yourself in the other person's shoes and try to see where they are coming from, even if you don't think the same way they do. it always helps to talk to someone about it too, which it looks like you do. getting an outsider to talk to was a big help to me when i felt out numbered while growing up. someone who isn't in the situation or isn't bias at all. the best thing to do is also to remove yourself from the situation for a bit, calm down, and go back in to the situation more peacefully and thinking and doing things in a way that makes sense for everyone not just you.
ReplyDeletegood luck!
Thanks for taking the time to write to me and give your advice. I am doing better. I think I was just in a tiny funk.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand. I have been feeling this same way lately. I finally decided to pray about it, but somehow I still don't feel any better, ugh!
