Confession
[This thread was submitted to be a featured thread by the general support community. If you have a thread you'd like to be featured, please submit it here!]
I sometimes resent my family for keeping me alive.
I dont want to be alone anymore. I dont want my life to be unhappy. I dont want to hide my sexuality from my parents anymore. I dont want to dissapoint the two people i love most in life. I need love. I need happiness. I need friendship. I need my life to be full of hope again.
You don't have to be alone any more. You deserve happiness, friendship, love and hope. You don't have to hide your true self. It doesn't matter what others say, what truly matters is your self-acceptance and self-love. No matter what happens we will always be here to support you. There is no shame in being the true you, and life will play out for the best. You are going to be more successful, happier and better off than you ever imagined. Never base your value on someone's inability to see it.

Great quote
I'm not sure if you still use 7-Cups. But it's my first time using the app since posting that. I just want to say that you have helped me massively from that. I'm a much happier person, my parents know of my sexuality. I now have a girlfriend who I'm extremely happy with. Friends, I'm still working on. I also got voted "Most Changed" recently for my senior superlative. Though, the people who voted most likely voted me for looks, I'm positive that my outlook on life is what has changed the most. I really do believe that life does get better, so long as you tilt your head and try to look at it in a more positive perspective. Don't underestimate the power of perspective❤️ thank you for such wise words.

i have a confession to say,and it s i don t feel good,i feel a little sad because i had a friend who i used to talk frecuently,we had some problems always,but almost the same problem,but now this problem it s beginning to lengthen and this is nothing good for me,because i need him ,without him something is missing in me,in my life,and the worst is if he don t speak with me,his friends not ,and this hurt me,if I already met someone and start talking often and suddenly the days are getting longer without speaking,i feel a loneliness and try to pull away and be myself because in reality I know I have not done anything and if so,why they did not tell me ,why they have to be so, the only thing I could do is continue with my life and try to get used to, forget, and it's not cute,i don t know what to do,because i don t want to continue like that...
@darknessGirl
Seek help, don't do it alone. Sometimes talking to a stranger will make all the difference in the world.
@MidniteAngel
I really like that quote
I am happy with me.
@inventiveCamp6825
That's great, there is no better feeling than being happy with yourself! It just really shows that happiness is achievable.
@midnightangel thank you so much. It's been a long time coming but loving me for me. It's a great feeling.
@inventiveCamp6825
That's a wonderful one!!
I'm falling more and more in love with him and we're not even together.
I stopped eating sometimes so that I could feel in control. Now it's controlling me
@imaginativeLand8815
Food is not the enemy, it's the mindset that is. Seek help before it is too late.
"Here's the thing: eating disorders are not about a fear of getting fat. The weight gain is not fueled by the number on the scale, but by the feeling of perfection at having maintained self-control. As another commenter so thoroughly explained, "It's about perfectionism and punishment for failing to meet that standard."

The number on the scales will not tell what a great person you are. It will not tell you how much those around you love you. It can never begin to describe how kind, funny, smart and amazing you are. You have the power to chase happiness. Food is not the enemy, self-hate is. Value your self-worth. Because your beauty is endless. You are worthy of all the love in the world.
I'm 23-year-old University student. I have never had a boyfriend, never been on a date, never been kissed. Last year I fell in love and it seemed that he likes me too, but over the summer holidays he got a girlfriend, who is total opposite of me. I'm not the kind of girl, who would even consider stealing other girls boyfriend, but I don't know how to move on either.
I know you're in a moment when you feel he is the one. But you deserve somebody who is going to love you entirely, they'll move mountains for you. And I promise you you'll find this person eventually! I'm a similar age and had never dated anyone until a few months ago. I was so happy and thought this was it, he was perfect, we had so much in common and had so much fun together. Then a couple of days ago he broke things off because he didn't think I was right for him. I felt so rejected! But thinking about it, who wants to be in a relationship where your partner doesn't love you back?? This guy is seeing someone else.. I know the heartache is strong, but you need to let him go and allow yourself to meet someone else. Whilst you're waiting, surround yourself with great friendships, focus on being the best you, and your new love will be right round the corner
Sometimes I let men see me naked .... I know it im a horrible person for it but I just love the way they make me feel wanted and loved
@TheJackal
I don't think you a horrible person .
@TheJackal
I agree. With the first comment. That shouldn't be defined with horrible. Either you love your body, are proud of it and that's a wondrous, almost miraculous thing- Or you are simply insecure and really needing that extra assurance.
Those men though- Can't say the same for them :p I wouldn't say your actions are healthy and longterm, if there's no love in each interaction, you could get really hurt exposing such intimate parts of yourself so often, so easily. Be well, kay.
@TheJackal
I totally get it! I think for some women,it really is a nice thrill to feel attactive. It's difficult to find men that want relationships these days, so I know it can be a last resort. Not ideal but if you feel good doing that, then it's good. Finding a guy who gets that relationships are a good thing isn't always possible, so go withthe next best option. Keep going!
The guy I like who I almost had a relationship with back in January admitted to me last week hat he really likes me alot and he is done with the relationship he is in but its hard because he has two children with her and a third on the way. I feel bad because I have done things with him and I hang out with the girl he is with. I honestly cant control how I feel for him We both have strong feelings for each other and I'm just in a tough spot.
@decembernight0608
dont carry the whole burden on your shoulders because it takes two to tango....but beware of his character-he's got so much to lose and sounds foolish. Perhaps you are too good for him in the end.
since i was assulted in march i struggled with nightmares recently i have begun to regress and unfortuately had accidents on some nights. never really said that before may take this down later when i regret it but anyway .
@amiableCup5404
I'm so proud of you for coming here and speaking out about it - that requires immeasurable strength. It's the people who were beaten down and wounded that were the strongest ones as they got back up and continued to battle. You are warriors. You are survivors and you are fighting an internal battle. Never stop fighting, and never let those people win. You're stronger than you think.
@MidniteAngel thank you :)
I can't go more than 4 hours without thinking about how much better people around me would be if I stopped existing.
Sometimes I find motivation to attempt work on my personal projects or get some work done. More often than not I just lay down wanting to be alone wishing something would just kill me to remove a headache from the world of the people I love.
But no matter what I do or how I feel at any given moment, I always feel like I'm confronted with reality and how, for some reason, I can't do the most basic of life chores with consistency. I just end up tired, confused, and wanting to be alone.
@MaskRiderFang I don't want to offend or alarm anybody with that post, or give the wrong impression that I may do something stupid. I just thought it'd be nice to not scream into a void for once
No worries. I feel the same. Just want to be alone and relax.
