| Noises that I can't identify used to frighten me, and still do. I call them noise monsters. Had neighbors years ago who enjoyed tormenting me with as much noise as possible. When I complained to management or called the police, the neighbors retaliated. After about a year of that, I had a breakdown.... |

| I once had a job in a third-rate sandwich shop called 'Panini Express', and the woman there (strident, barrel-shaped, small paper hat) suddenly said to me one day: "What are you thinking about? Eh? Always away with the fairies. Live in a world of your own, you." I had been looking out of the window... |

| Definitely can relate. Often when I go on a forum I'm either generally ignored or it attracts some troll who finds a fictional reason to be annoyed with me.when they do mention why they are annoyed it's basically over things I cannot change about myself, because if I could change them, I would have ... |

| Yes, I can hear my neighbors cat upstairs walking around overhead. When my neighbor walks it sounds like a herd of buffalo. The low frequency sounds of footsteps overhead drives me to distraction some days. I have air filters going that help with their white noise so that sudden sounds are not so st... |

| It's about heirarchy, status and power. People are usually consciously & unconsciously aware of everyone's 'place,' and are in some way are always pushing/pulling/jockey-ing for increased status in that system. ... Beware the Social Politics. In my experiences with people, yes, I agree with thi... |

| Even when God was among the people of Israel and delivered them from slavery, there was rebellion. Even many of those who witnessed Jesus' miracles did not believe in him, but simply attributed it to something else. Yet there are countless people today who believe in God, and that Jesus is the Son o... |

| Yes, I have that kind of PTSD. It comes and goes but the smallest things can set symptoms off sometimes. Sometimes I get some significant panic attacks as a result. Because of extensive therapy, I've developed some self talk to get me through them. Also self-understanding, like knowing i'm on the sp... |

Perhaps it is taken as insulting because the believer is suddenly face to face with his or he... |

Well, in my case, I suppose I should feel some degree of despair, because I have become too great of a fool for Christ. Ah, yes, what a dismal life, there's no hope for grati... |
