who is your best confidante when you are so tired in life? for me, i do not talk so much to anyone, i will rely to myself and asking God for so many things. i do not know why built a habit like this. well, i can tell it to them but not all my sentiments. when they would appeal to my troubles the more i get worried. solving it along with God until i can replenish good wills to it all is my best i can do and give and sometimes crying would help me so much.
what about u buddy?

I always find my self talking to Him when something bothers me and it really help a lot. Talking to trusted friends is not bad I can release my stress and can get good advice from them.

lyn,

at least that's the best option than talking with the "dark side"

I do not really tell anyone, as what I do is come on here and rant, until I feel better.
Sometimes it do not help telling friends as they can gossip and make matters a lot worse than they already are.
There are lots of things that are going on in my life that really would not be a good idea to tell people about, as they are really private things that are going on.

hello there - there are still friends who you can trust upon, i agree with you. but it is not in my system to confide it to my friends more if i thought so, that my problems need confidentially or i need to privatize not to be embarrass in the future. i will find to manage to solve my problems in a different way with the one i believed i can really rely on (He is God).
thanks for your participation :)

oh yeah... confession to someone that you cannot trust to is not a good way to lessen your burden. worst, it will drag you to more complication and dipped you more to much trouble. believe in your instinct and put God in the middle. confess it to God and He will show you the way. we have common about that. i am not used of confiding it to my friends. i do not like the feeling of it. i trust myself and God. although after the storm i will make my experience for fun and laughed with it. thanks for joining in here

When life gets tough, my best confidante is me and/or someone who can help me. Usually I won't ask for help from anyone I can't confide in. People are very predatory today. It is always good to be as independent as possible. I can only say that music is a good influence of my attitude and a helpful hand gives me a lift AND privacy protection.

I agree with your sentiment. When times get rough, spirituality and a good look inside yourself are very helpful. I know it may sound simple, but this is what we have no matter where we go, our spirituality and the positive influence it gives on our attitude.

do things without the help of other people is tough action. but trusting it to the Lord will help it all. i am not that kind of person who confides my weaknesses to others because in myself i knew some of them are not good listeners and some would just tap your shoulder and tell, you can make it. when talking about this matter, i want a sincere conversation that one might listen attentively. what is the use of your chattering when one is not interested to listen to you. thanks for joining into this discussion....

our attitude will help deal with our problems. when even so down, stand still and do not be upset. our problems strengthen our weaknesses most of the time. being close to God would be the best answer to everything like what i keep on telling here . thanks

When i am very tired in my life i will tell all my sorrow to my mother for me my mother is every thing she is my moral supporter instead of tackling a problem alone with my mother help i can able to solve the problem more easily.. My mother also understand my feelings and wont scold me if i done any mistake also.. That shows her affection to me.. So for me my confident is my mom only....

good for you for having your mom as your supporter and you bestfriend. we can really trust our mom to every aspect. but in terms to that, our interest would differ in accordance to where ourselves put our confidence, and luck goodly. some put theirs to their mother like you, some to their friends or peers, some to their partner, but most of all, nothing beyond compare when your put your all trust to God :)

Well I believe in God and do ask him for many things, but I do have a couple people I confide in. My main confidante is my sister she has been there for me since I was born. When we were younger we did used to fight but we are as close as can be now. She is truly my best friend. My other confidante is my soul mate, my fiance he knows everything about me and me about him. I do not keep secrets from him and he can always tell when I am getting down or upset. So all in all I think I am very lucky to have two such wonderful people down here on earth to talk to and a heavenly father to talk to when I need to. I am very blessed.

good for you. i have important persons in my life too that i can confide my problems with. but i am comfortable in God, so to speak. i know i can trust them but i do not want to share with them when i am in my miseries. i want to work it with my own. i can even tell my sister, my bestfriend, my momma, my boyfriend, but i am not comfortable more if the problem is too embarrassing to tell it to them. but really, my office mates before consoled me when i met an instance that caused me a problem. they did not leave me. but what is advices, i do not want to hear it but feeling the way i feel uplifted my spirit to pursue to have a solution to that problem. i guess because, it is me who knows me and that is me who can solve it. but you know, i have a different problem that my momma and my friends figured it out, but those are not kind of embarrassing problem so that is why it is okay to ask help from them. i guess, i confide to my friends the problems i had or have depending on its kind. so i guess, that explained it best.
thanks for sharing your experience in here :)

We are are kind of the same. I tell all my worries to God because He is the only One who can understand what were are going through and why we are going through some challenges.
I sometimes tell it to my husband but there are times that I don't want him to worry about me or get stressed with what I have to say.
I don't really share my negativity to anyone, I only want to share my positivity to them.

hi there. i guess, because they have their own worries to attain too and that if we tell it to them, maybe they cannot attend to that kind of needs to solve our problems. so there, another problem would begin that they are disinterested to listen to us. that would hurt our feelings. so better find our own ways to solve the problem and if we believe in God, finding the solution would not be so tough, it will just come in our way and do it share to entangle the knots.
thaks for sharing your thoughts in here. appreciated it much :)

what have you got against talking to friends when life is tou gh? I am a christian but I also have some friends who share problems with me if i need t hem too. God w ants us to have friends and
be fr iends too,Its fine to lean on God b ut also share with
your friends,be a friend and share with a friend.also God helps
those who help themselves not those who whine and close themselves a way from others.believing in God should not make you turn away from your best friend. God believes in us having friends.

hello there. i guess the type of the problem is the barrier why i cannot tell my problems directly to them. when it is kinda embarrassing, i do not want to share it to them. but if it is a slight problem i can confide it to them, even in a joke manner. i am too preoccupied with my thoughts so not to be able to think to tell it to my friends. because that time, i am praying and talking to God what to do. it is Him i talked first in my mind.
thanks for sharing your point of views in here :)

I am sure anyone who believes in God trust the Lord with thy heart.
We should never rely on our own understanding and physical will.
FAITH is believing in something that only GOD can do.

jai - since our first meeting here, this is the best thing you had to say to me. and you hit a hundred tons appraisal for that. for if God will forbid a thing, there is nothing we can do about it. coz in our life, He knew what is the best thing for us to have. all we need is faith, trust and to wait.

I only have one thing to say...
"first impressions mostly are wrong misconception"
A lifetime is not enough to know a person, unless you give that person a chance to prove thyself.
And to know a person deep within- is to clear your mind from any negative impressions.

a person could be versatile and even quickly can changed his mood from this to that. that is why, you cannot judge someone because of what the person shown you at first. this kind of misbehaviour i tried to straightened out from my innate being. for a person himself cannot explain himself from the thing that ever happened to him.
thanks for sharing your thoughts in here.

a pleasant day missjahn,
well same as you are, God is my best confidante. though i have my bestfriend, but, most often times, i really run to God to seek His helping hand. before, i used to be vocal if ever i have sentiments in life but now, i decided to change my ways. especially that my family have changed their way in dealing with me. and this really hurts me.

just pray your worries in God and put everything to Him. He is the only one we have that never ever really change. never loss hope. maybe a talk with them would help too why such thing happened like that. it is nice to hear them saying the exact explanation maybe you are wrong with your expectation. be brave :)

My best confidante was always my mother. But alas, she has gone now. She knew all my tricks and encouraged me to be what I want to be. She told me never to stop hoping and was my number one pal when I started to write as a child. When she got older and sick we still talked as I brought her to my house where she lived for five more years. I never thought that I would still miss my mother, but I do.

I think if you have a strong faith and belief in God then maybe that's all you need. But I think, too, that most people need someone to talk to. I have a very close friend that I talk to. He can't make all my problems go away but sometimes he has good ideas or solutions. At the least I feel better after I talk to him. They say that crying is good for you. I don't cry much about stuff now. I cried more when I was younger. But if I don't get a job soon I might start crying! :/

haha - do not cry, you will soon get a good job. oh yes, God is everything and He is always near us even we are so regimented child of HIS, even we kept repeating our lapses to him. and even blaming Him to the bad occurrences in your life. we cannot measure his patience and love.
yes i have friends but not confiding to ask support from them. it is just okay to be like this. when things went right, that is the time i will share my stories to them =)

When I am tired in my life, when I feel unhappy, I can't cover it, my husband can see it. He will persuade me and encourage me. I think you need a person to rely on. It's good for you.

Hmmm... its always been different for me though, i have found god in people, i like to confide in my parents and in my best friend for solace. God has created us in his image, so you are suppose to look for him in the people around you. If you are unable to get something that you want then it is just gods way of testing your desires. He will reward you once he finds out your will :D
So keep trusting those around you, help them in their needs and you will be rewarded, but never do it for the sake of the reward....
this is what i beleive :D

i am grateful for the shared thought but i am okay with my schemes. maybe i am a hard-headed person. but i won't solicit others advice as possible as i can. i can tell it to them after the typhoon had subsided but while the problem is hot, it will make me more anxious. i will taking a place silently then my mind whirling what to do as i uttered my prayer too. God will help me find my way. thanks to you
