If you are one of the faithful, this can be one of your strongest moments. It's like when you are running strong, you are going at a good speed. But if you start hobbling, you can call your best friend and they will pick you up and drive you. You went fastest when you were in the car, because you were hobbling. You might be at a time of transition, and your best paths lay in front of you.
2 Corinthians 12
8Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.5 -

People say that they are totally themselves online but most have a separate account on social media for just their online friends10

it's a fine line to walk- you wanna be genuine with all your friends yeah sure. but then you also end up attracting crazy or jealous people sometimes who will literally comb through your IRL friends and try to hurt them too.
me personally, i don't have a lot to lose sure, but some IRL people i know, maybe they do, and I wouldn't want my friendship to be a liability to them in any way, just because of some random creep online.4 -

I've had the first scenario happen here, not once but twice. There be some crazies out there and one of them still posts among you all....2 -

it happened to me once a few years ago. i got a publicly searchable job and someone i got close to ended up emailing my boss. it didn't hurt me too much in the end, but it was one of the most humiliating things i've ever been through at least.
just this last year, i made the mistake of having my IRL and online friends both on my IG account and ended up having to burn it down and start it over, just because one of my IRL friends, she was one of these people that i think had a lot to lose because of our "friendship", and i didn't want to risk that after an online friendship turned bad.
so yeah, nowadays, i'm a firm believer in one account for IRL and another for online friends exclusively.4 -

It’s hard for me to feel sorry for you, ya pop-socket filthy mirror chaser!
Jahst keedeen, I do totally get it. I do the same, although not because of crazy people or even privacy.
Seven years ago I was on a forum like this and added like 50 online friends to my fb account, so I’ve done the mixing thing too. It wasn’t terrible. No bad experiences. In fact I’m so close to a handful of them that I’ve been guests in their homes~ one for a week this past winter even.
But. They just didn’t mesh with my real life list. Probably because the vast majority of my friends list IRL is my family, and most of them are very conservative Christians. So they were right horrified when someone would post a hookers and blow meme on my wall 😂
I feel I’m more myself online than within the confines of my real life, actually. I love having an ig where I don’t have to carefully weigh what I post as to whether or not it’ll offend some old bat.
Anyway. My comment was just me musing, it contained zero judgment.3 -
