Growing up, I was raised Catholic but we were never religious. At about 6th grade, I decided that there was no God and that religion is all made up. Now, at the age of 18, I've become mature enough to understand that there can be a place for religion and God in my life even when there is an apparent "lack of evidence" to support it, this being called having faith. Now that I'm mature, I've figured I wanted to get back into Christianity, or to be more precise, go through some exploration between myself and religion in order to develop a stronger sense of understanding and faith towards God.
Upon looking back into getting into Christianity, I've gathered that Catholicism is apparently corrupt because of Vatican II, some of the actions of Pope Benedict, and also given that they pick and choose what laws of God to enforce. I'm leaning towards Orthodoxy as it seems the most faithful to the intention of the Bible but from what I found, there aren't any nearby Orthodox parishes within my city so I have to look at neighboring towns. What should I look into and look out for?
Also, how do you keep your faith even when there are some opposing views and "evidence" against it? Why do you believe in the religion you believe in and how has your faith confirmed that what you believe in real?

Go church shopping.
It is perfectly respectable to visit a different church in your town each Sunday until you find one you feel comfortable with.

I'll try to keep this short. I met a girl last november and soon we started dating. I'm 20 and she's 31. I met her at work and soon enough the whole store knew about me and her. She has some issues, mentally and otherwise. So we date for a few months eventually she moves in and we planned on getting married. One day i decided to look through her phone because i thought she was smoking weed and not telling me. What i found was far worse, she was cheating on me and smoking meth. After that i never said anything until i tried to break up with her after valentines day, at that point i still cared and couldn't just keep my emotions together and she took a bunch of pills in front of me and her daughter when i tried to leave her the first time (daughter is ten). We sort of split up but got back together in a few days, i was still in hell but i didn't know what to do. Eventually i figure i need to get a new job because she told everyone at the store we were getting married. So i put my 2 weeks in and break up with her right after i quit my job. That day she said she would kill herself and told me she was pregnant. As time went on obviously she didn't kill herself and we just talked and occasionally met up. About a month after she claims she is really pregnant, but shows me no proof. I will be honest, this is not someone i want to raise my kid or any kid for that matter. I told her to get an abortion, she says she wants to keep it and i can just move on, she wouldn't put a name on the birth certificate. I kept telling her to get the abortion done, and a few weeks ago she supposedly did. Again she has shown me no proof she got it done. At this point in time i don't know what to believe. i haven't talked to her today and i don't want to contact her because every time she's just like i love you anon i want to be with you anon so on and so forth.

All i can do know i think is just be friendly and watch her for a few months and make sure nothing develops.
TL;DR
Got a crazy ex gf, supposedly was pregnant but it still hovers in my head. what should i do.

You can't really force someone to get an abortion anyway, if she lied about it and ends up having a kid, get a dna test to make sure it's yours before going full JUST

Hey /adv/. I've never had this happen before. This girl I knew from high school started liking my FB posts, so I hit her up on messager. We talked, I got her number, we kept talking, we scheduled a date.
I was told ahead of time by friends that they know she has small anxiety issues, but those didn't seem to matter.
I invited her out with my friends to go drinking, and she was seemed via text to be super excited. The next day we flirted, then late at night said she wanted to bring her friend with her. I remembered the anxiety she had in HS and asked her if she was uncomfortable with the plans and she said no.
The day after she said she is going to get a ride with her friend's brother on top of that as opposed to Uber or an alternative like the rest of us.
What the fuck? Should I just flat out ask her if she's even interested? I mean fuck off at this point. It became "hey let's get some drinks together" to "hey I'll meet you there with my friend."
9 times out of 10 I would just write her off immediately and cancel on her. But I can't tell if this is an anxiety thing and if I'm being insensitive.
Should I just ask her flat out what the deal is? Or is there anything I could ask more subtle to find out? Because I don't want to waste my time when I have four other women I could invite instead.

You asked her out with your friends so why does that mean she can't bring a friend, obviously you only care about yourself.
>>
An anxious person it's going to be super comfortable saying they're anxious. It's sort of like touching someone's wound to ask if it hurts. If they were okay before, they certainly aren't now.
Being anxious about going alone is different than completely not being okay with your plans. But you don't really come across as ready or willing to deal with her anxiety. Might be better for you both if you move on.
>>
>>17213229
I was fine with the friend by itself. The fact that now she's getting her own ride strikes me as a red flag and that she's weird.

Why is she hardly replying to my texts anymore? We hang out a lot and have cuddled a few times, we have deep meaningful talks in person, but she doesn't ever really have much to say over text, how can I change this? I want her to start texting me first and replying more often and with longer messages.

So you didn't make her laugh, didn't flirt, and when it came to physical contact you never escalated shit. What exactly did you expect?
>>
>>17213195
I've asked her if she wanted to date before and she said she doesn't know (she recently got out of a serious relationship), next time we get physical I'll be sure to escelate, I just don't want to be rejected and her think I'm a freak or something and avoid me.

/Adv/, can any of you share the experience of resisting or giving in to peer pressure? What results it gave?
For some reason, being rebellious to my peers views was my motto since childhood, and i ended up a studying loner, who listens to her parents, doesn't smoke anything, doesn't go to parties and doesn't get wasted.
I had no sense of tact and didn't desperately want company, so peer pressure had little power on me.
Now.
Obviously a virgin, a girl, so it's ok.
I don't like the idea of poisoning my brain with chemical substances to numb the emotional pain, i'll stick to the plan.
So my life experience differs from the majority of my peers, but I'm not alone. There are like-minded people and it's all that matters to me.
What's your opinion on peer pressure, anons?

Sometimes you just got to conform
>>
>>17213167
In what cases?
>>
>>17213145
The problem with doing things alone is a lack of support. If you are incredibly tallented than its not as much of a problem, but a group is always stronger than a single individual. Infact what usually happens is a strong individual ends up leading a group. They are symbiotic in nature.
As for peer pressure, i highly suggest not going the "stick up your ass" route. You do NOT have to do what anyone tells you to, but you dont have to say NO to every new experience. Swallow your pride sometimes, and kill your convictions. Keep your integrity, and always respect yourself. Sometimes the greatest saints are the worst sinners. But the greatest sin by far is to so nothing at all.
Does anybody else have maladaptive daydreaming? And if so how do you deal with it?

I did when I was younger, like early teens. I basically thought about how much time I wasted, and what I could have been doing instead.
What do you daydream about?

>>17213092
I mostly daydream about different worlds and stories. They're quite elaborate and complex.
>>
I never knew what that was up until you made this post Op. Thanks, I guess? I think I might have the same habbit. But this all depends on what exactly is going on in both our minds.
I personally daydream about situations that aren't about myself, fantasies, if you will, regarding my otps. But on occasions I do take a moment to try to sort things out or think about whats actually happening in my life.
But when it comes to daydreaming about realistic things going on in my life I try to actually face them, but probably not at full force. Just little by little.

It sounds stupid but I was bullied really heavily by my parents, carers, and class mates.
I struggle to actually connect to people and I have never had a girlfriend because I'm somewhat distrustful and fearful of them.
I'm incredibly lonely because I don't know how to make friends, everyone I used to hang around with secretly hated me. They'd spread rumors about me and insult me behind my back.

You have to fresh start with new people, express well your own carachter, even online friends work to start. 4Chan is a place where you will do the opposite of socializing, I hope someone gives you some better advice tan I, but that´s mine. Good luck

I>t sounds stupid but I was bullied really heavily by my parents, carers, and class mates.
More common than you think.

Suprised?
>I'm incredibly lonely because I don't know how to make friends, everyone I used to hang around with secretly hated me. They'd spread rumors about me and insult me behind my back.
You were surrounded by shitbags. Spreading rumors and insults behind someone's back is something kids and girls do, not adults.
>>
I'm sorry OP. Bullying can take its toll. But really the best thing you can do is harden the fuck up, and I mean that in the most sincere way possible. Letting it bother you will make you miserable. Accept that you are a slightly dysfunctional individual and find a fulfilling hobby, form a meaningful relationship, or find a purpose or answer a calling.

So I got high on edible marijuana cookies today and things were feeling good 1-2 hours after. I was laughing like a mad man.
A while after that I start experiencing shaking all around my body, extremely salty taste in my mouth to the point where my saliva tasted like salt and heat spreading from my stomach to my groin which cause it to become numb. It still feels numb which scares me. I rotated between having a clear conciousness and phazing in and over the course of 5 hours, experiencing heavy breathing and nausea/bloatedness.
At some point I remember watching a vlog on just uploaded on youtube and experiencing deja vu as if I had definitely seen the video before.
I was also in the toilet try to take a shit but whilst it felt like i was shitting when I checked I hadn't shat anything out.
Wtf happened guys.

It sounds like a panic attack. You probably became extremely anxious for whatever reason and because you were high you had difficulty processing that thought.

Some people act differently to drugs than others.
Your body simply doesn't like THC and it would be wise to avoid it moving forward.

Hey /adv/
I have a problem. A weird one tbf.
I play video games quite a bit and often go on during the evening around 6 or 7. Two of my best friends would be one quite a bit but suddenly they stopped. I was weirded out by this. It was so sudden. A few hours ago I was invited to a beach party by them and found they have been taking drugs. They have been getting it off some fucking scumbag. He gives it too them and in a sick way feel replaced. They mostly ignored me for most of it as they were taking ecstasy and some other shit. I know they have free choice but it feels they have ditched me completely for drugs. It really hurts. I was shocked by this as they go to a pretty posh school. Anyway long story short is there anyway I can stop them from taking drugs? Or is it too late? Should I just never engage with them ever again? I find drugs fucking degenerate.

I don't know how old you are OP, but you sound like me when I was in early high school (14sh) so let me give you some advice:
Whether it's drugs, booze or girls, you're reaching the age where your friends will discover things outside the bubble of childhood, where all you needed was some buddies and some vidya. It happens to everyone sooner or later. If you don't see the appeal of what they're doing, don't worry. You're not broken, you just appreciate different things and there's not anything wrong with that. Basically it comes down to pleasure: they've found something that gives them instant pleasure and it's totally unlike anything they've ever encountered so they want to overload on it. If you're approaching high school/college/uni, this shit is going to happen LOTS.
But you sound jealous as fuck, and that's a bad place to be in. I've been there. You want them to have a bad trip or get caught and shamed so they can come crawling back to you and you can say you were right. But you're wrong. You have to let people live their lives. If you really respect your friends as friends, you'll let them do their shit. If they look like they're about to fuck their lives up (skipping school to do drugs, plummeting grades, getting fired, w/e) then step in a little harsher. It works on the flipside, too.If they respect you as a friend, they'll understand that you don't want to do drugs at parties with them.
I'll give you some advice though: go with the flow. I was a lot like you when I was younger (total sperg anti-drug ABOVE THE INFLOOENCE) and now that I'm a lot older, I can say I missed out on a lot of fun experiences that you can only have when you're young and dumb. Maybe ask them if they want to do E sometime, just the three of you, and play some video games. Or not.
Anyway, enjoy the rest of your life, OP [spoiler]it only gets worse from here[/spoiler]
