How Do I Deal With This? (aka All Hell Broke Loose On Fb)

[vee]

[LittleWaySoul]

Just give 'em some space, DC.  Sounds like they are upset about something that probably isn't really about you... but you inadvertently hit one of their buttons and they are making it about you.   Just pray for 'em and leave 'em alone.

 

We love you. :console:

 

I don't get it?? Do they think you are being braggy or something?? The only thing that I could see would annoy them would be the discerning since 3 thing, most toddlers don't really have the intellectual capacity to begin discerning a call as the Church truly understands it (thinking nuns are cool or pretty or wanting to be one when you grow up doesn't really count, I wanted to be a bathtub when I grew up).  But still what's the big deal. People are weird. Sadly this behavior is not limited to high schoolers.

 

All of this. Just pray for them, and don't worry about it too much. I stalked your Facebook profile after seeing this and I find nothing whatsoever offensive. Just a ton of Catholicism, which, if they aren't Catholic, maybe that's why they're offended, but if that's the case, oh well. You're not being rude about your faith or pushing it on anyone. You're just talking about it like you would anything else you love. And there's nothing wrong with that. Take heart, and pray for them :console: I'll pray for everyone involved!

That is what I am suspecting too. It is more about them than DC.

It's supposedly stuff I've commented elsewhere. :pinch:

Another thing to keep in mind is don't throw your pearls before swine, lest they turn and tear you.  Or, alternatively, don't give bread to dogs.  QED

Well, then just pray for them and don't worry too much. If it's a serious problem someone will eventually tell you what you're doing wrong. If not, there's no need to worry. Either way, you're not at fault because you don't think you're doing anything wrong. So just don't worry too much and pray for them :amen: :)

Is the advantage of FB (whatever it might be) worth the agony and stress you've gone through in the past 24 hours? 

 

I'm praying about unfriending her. Aside from this one incident, everything has been fine.

I mean...Therese wanted to be a nun when she was TWO...so...not like it matters.

[Lilllabettt]

yeah, two year olds don't discern. They want. And they don't want.

That's exactly it. I said I WANTED to be a nun, not that I was discerning to be a nun when I was 3.

I love how there's even a prayer for people we don't like.

Like, a written form prayer. 

 

ETA: And I don't "dislike" them; I am just disappointed that they decided to behave this way and that I was fool enough to actually trust them, whoever they are.

Just wait until Festivus comes around. You can send them cards.

I make it a habit to purge my FB friends list regularly and mercilessly. Some people boast about how many online 'friends' they have. I boast about how many I can cut from my list on any given day.

Wait so you don't actually know these people?
