Able to meet with DoubtingTom

[Anonymous]

I had connected with DoubtingTom over a year ago as it just seemed that he and I were seeing many things the same way. We talked a bit on facebook.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with DoubtingTom yesterday as we both happened to be in the same city yesterday. I very much enjoyed it and was glad I was able to meet him and chat for a while.

I would really encourage those that are either active participating here or lurking here and are really struggling to work to find someone you can have an honest conversation with. I generally work through stuff in my head (and reading up / listening to podcasts for info), but for me I didn’t really start healing until I was able to meet up with some folks that I could be honest with like AmateurParent and her spouse.

We sometimes talk about authenticity and how to avoid dramatic Jerry Maguire – “I am leaving and taking the goldfish. Who’s with me?” moments at church. There is value to not emotionally vomit in public.

However, I also believe that we humans crave acceptance and validation. I believe that it might be unhealthy emotionally to hide yourself from everybody all the time.
