Secret Confessions
Welcome to the Secret Confessions thread. Beyond the pure anonymity of the internet, there lies a certain level of understanding behind all the accounts here on FF. The SC account carries burden of allowing the user to give a candid, private confession with (hopefully) understanding feedback. The SC thread is for other posters to give kind and/or helpful advice, words of empathy, or a secret of their own (under the SC name or not).
This account is a group account, and EVERYONE needs to treat it respectfully. By posting under the Secret Confessor, you are pledging to refrain from hate mail, "finger-pointing", insulting and being a jerkface. By posting in the SC thread, you are pledging to keep the comments respectful. This has not yet been a problem, but it's nice to have written down "just in case".
If you would like to use the SC account for ANY reason beside posting in this thread, please PM me- even if it's under the SC name (this is not to exert authority, but to maintain order over a very accessible account).
Thank you!

I had this friend who used to complain about guys "stalking" her all the time. It made me feel the same way SC does now.
I have another friend who was seriously stalked by a pedophile. It didn't make her feel pretty or special, because the only man who gave her that kind of attention was a 40 year old man who had problems. After watching her root through scary emails, and vulgar texts, I never envied her, not for a second. She didn't feel pretty. SC wouldn't either.

Even being stalked by someone your age-ish can get creepy. Everyone wants to be admired, I get that, I do too. But I don't wish to be stalked. I had to deal with that last year, I don't want to repeat it. He somehow got my cell number and called me all the time, and started showing up in my after-school clubs, and he figured out my schedule and then switched his around so he had classes with me, then he stalked me online... it was just, no. Not fun.

I don't believe in God.
But sometimes I start to pray anyway.
I'm so confused.

Were you raised religiously? Or did you go to church/a religious school as a little kid?
Because I do that. I'm atheist, but I went to pre-school/daycare from ages 2-4, in a church. Now, still, when I get really scared, I'll catch myself silently praying to a God I don't believe in. Similarly, when something that I consider a miracle happens, and I'm all relieved because I wasn't expecting it, I'll catch myself thanking God. Like, actually thanking, besides just yelling "thank God!" as a meaningless exclamation
It's just... it's what I was taught to do at a really young age. I actually remember being taught that, too. It's a coping mechanism.
So... yeah. I guess it could also be argued that this is proof that deep-down, you actually do believe in God or a god, too. *shrugs*

Too, something it's just comforting to talk/think you're talking to something/someone. Especially one greater. And since it's rather everywhere. . . . it's not uncommon that happens.
Don't over think it, too much. If it makes you feel better, just go with it.

@Both of you - My parents are both atheist. I have never been to church, except for when I went to my friend's choir concert, but there was no preaching going on then. I have gone to public school all my life. So, I have had no exposure to religion at all really. . .
I'm just confused. I thought I didn't believe in God but. . . I don't know now.

Were you just praying randomly? Or was something worrying you/rather wrong?
I'd still suggest not over thinking it. Go with it. If you find yourself praying, cool. If you find it helps you, then look into things further, but don't freak out about it. It is the holidays, too, so that might be rubbing off on you.

^ This.
Also, if you're truly confused and want to figure out what you believe... I'd suggest talking to people. Not 'someone,' but multiple people, with different views. Read up on different religions, maybe visit a church/place of worship if you find a religion that you've found you can identify with.
Just, don't talk to one singular person and have them alone help you. No matter how unbiased we try to be, our advice will always naturally promote our own views, which might not align with yours. At the very least, talk to both an atheist and a religious person, so you get both sides.
