It's so difficult sometimes because people don't always express when they understand you or when they don't and you never know when someone is thinking about you or not, or how people think of you, so in that way, it's so easy to feel lonely or misunderstood simply because people haven't given you a reason not to feel that way.Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660802321998349072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-51184461597661682962007-07-27T09:12:00.000-04:002007-07-27T09:12:00.000-04:00"Now I know how absolutely important it is for som...<I>"Now I know how absolutely important it is for someone to feel a) not lonely; b) like they are being respected by people around them."</I><BR/><BR/>That was the most difficult thing for me with the Orthodox community as my beliefs evolved away from Orthodox doctrine.

If you don't fit in -- if you cannot believe, if you're gay, if you're just not an intellectual in some communities or if you're a female intellectual in others -- it pretty much sucks.Jewish Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616617537150446818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-20945984920425381632007-07-27T02:29:00.000-04:002007-07-27T02:29:00.000-04:00Very good insight and post.Very good insight and post.haKiruvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364180049796549383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-42101999074163829392007-07-27T02:11:00.000-04:002007-07-27T02:11:00.000-04:00did someone said marriage?did someone said marriage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-20547645981261116772007-07-27T02:06:00.000-04:002007-07-27T02:06:00.000-04:00This reminds me of something that I think you or o...This reminds me of something that I think you or other bloggers have posted about before and that's finding people that 'get' you. That helps with understanding and feeling less alone.<BR/><BR/>(Obviously not everyone is the same so if you don't quite get someone (due to different backgrounds, experiences etc) then effort has to be made to attempt to see things from their position, from their shoes.)Sarah Likes Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055831838215589183noreply@blogger.com
