You're Not Getting What I'm Saying

It's not the fact it's a discussion site, I get that. And I get that we don't all need to agree. It's that I get misunderstood in what I'm trying to convey. No offense taken.

@just4him yes the p eople around yo as a child c an really do things to you they talked about me being bashful and made me think t was something r eallhy terrible about me later I found out it meant beng shy darn them sorry for the goof

It was growing up that I was made to feel worthless. Nobody here has done that.

@Hatley People can really make you feel you are what you're not. You might want to check this comment. I don't think you wanted to swear here, but I don't know what it's supposed to be.

Yes they do.

Yes it is.

I don't need anyone to agree with me. I just want them to understand me.

@just4him Well understanding can be a problem at times. I know.

@paigea Yes it can.

@just4him If you tried to explain and they still don't get it and you get so frustrated you have to give up it sounds like they are too close minded not only to see what is in front of them but also to listen to someone else's reasons. They get it in their head one way and just won't change. Which is a little ignorant since you are the one that said it. LOL I hope you understand this because it came out a little jumbled.

I tried and gave up.

@just4him trying is the main thing. if they aren't getting it then there isn't much else you can do.

For the most part I see that. Just every once in a while I feel like pulling out my hair because I feel like no matter what I say I'm not being clear enough.

@just4him We sure are, as we interact as much as we can, and that is a good thing. I am so grateful for all those how do interact with me, as it has helped me receive what I have, and just a few cents away from the minimum.

@rosekiss I'm getting there. I still have just over a dollar to go.

No, we're good.

@just4him I am talking about an interaction where you are not comfortable.

It's not that I don't enjoy the interaction, I do. But when all else fails, yes, I leave it.

@allknowing I leave those as well.

Yes it does. I never know how to answer a post like that.

I'm sure it will.

@just4him And it's such a shame that it is that way now, because we can't even have civil conversations anymore! No wonder the world has become such a violent place!

@moffittjc Yes, we're all fearful someone might bring charges against us just for saying something they didn't like.

I totally agree. Agreeing to disagree is a concept that has gone by the wayside. Now people are prone to jump down your throat and let you know how stupid you are for even having the thought.

@just4him Yes, and it was all of a sudden too. I couldn't get them to wait it out awhile first before leaving so hastily.

@MarshaMusselman I know someone who just left suddenly. Would that be the person?

It's sad when that happens.

True. The nasty's can stay away.

@just4him Hey, you work with what you got, and you do what works.

Good thinking

Thank you for that. I don't have a problem with understanding you.

I understand what you mean by just wanting to give something as you said food for thought. My question is so how will God bring peace to the earth? We don’t know the future but discussing can only lead to our appreciation of God if we discuss what is in the bible properly. Not everyone shares the same beliefs but my questions are directed to the folks that believe Jesus is coming in the near future and God’s kingdom will be established firmly on earth. Will there be a world government with representatives from a religious organization that will rule the world? Will all governments cease to exist? Will most or all of the world be destroyed? Will everything be the same as it is now only more peaceful? Does the end of world mean nothing more than a spiritual event and on earth business as usual? These are only questions. I haven’t stated what I believe in the last paragraph. The questions are just food for thought. Your post @just4him was about not being understood. That is how I felt while interacting with mommaj. She wasn’t understanding my reason for my questions and what I really wanted to discuss. Instead she took decided I think to make some kind of moral judgement. I never asked for help with my spirituality or advice in what should do with my life. Yet for some reason perhaps she thought that was why I was posting? In any event I don’t want or need some suggestion from some remote person on line telling me I should volunteer or look in my heart. I am here discuss topics. That’s it. If people don’t understand that I might not be able to do much about it. People love to talk about God and Jesus but do they understand what is going to happen? I think not.

@Bluedoll I agree with you. The discussion got a bit off track, which a lot of discussions have a tendency to do. When people don't understand about God and Jesus as our Savior, there are more thoughts and ideas than from those who do understand what the Bible says. So I take it with a grain of salt. A lot of your questions - paragraph 2 - are answered in Revelation. When Jesus returns it will be only a single government - his. That's what I'm waiting for.

@just4him Don't take it verbatim. Understand the intention. Mine aren't bad, ever. That's why I mentioned that some might be used to getting negative comments and May inadvertently read a different point of view in a negative way. I noticed with most of your comments you always put a positive somewhere in there like a compliment on something or the part agreed upon and that makes all the difference. Sometimes though (Not you) but some like to argue not on the actual points but just to argue and win. It's like wearing the scarlet letter.

@Vjvals No good ever came from being negative. The saying is you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. I do my best with each interaction and hope for the best.

It wasn't a negative comment. In fact I don't make negative comments or rude ones either. I just like to give another side of the equation once in a while. A different point of view.

@CRK109 Me too.

It really is hard to be misunderstood.

@just4him I've always found you easy to understand so I hope your problems with this issue are at an end.

True and I can see how that happens.

@just4him but unfortunately..some don't. Sigh.

I used to love the Three Stooges. Now people are even inciting they are too violent.

@Deepizzaguy We have a comic book shop here where people can find just about anything. My younger son has been there many times.

@just4him It is a shame that people cannot enjoy old fashioned comics from the Great Depression era.
