>and after some months without eating he dies fro lack of proteins

Good thing I'm not gonna fast for "some months", then.

The longest recorded fast is 382 days

Good innings, that.

hey I have a question, this is a bit esoteric but I'll go ahead.....I was born 6 years 6 months and 6 days after my parents were married. also today is my birthday.

is this some kind of prophecy?

I don't think it's a prophecy.

"Love was given man to challenge fate."

If Satan is trying to unsettle you through your odd birthday, just pray more, and listen for God's will.

Hey, so what's the deal with the website? I hadn't heard of LC until the other day, so I have no clue how long its been down

Sorry to change subject but have any of you had trauma that was healed through praying?

There are some things I am still holding onto since childhood/teenage years (like a suicide in the family) that make it hard for me to really get on with my life. Feel like I am stuck in the past a lot. Secular means of psychotherapy and various antidepressants never helped.

I managed to overcome some nasty stuff through prayer. Though remembering the ins and outs is still painful, but it doesn't consume me anymore. Sure one of the things that helped a lot, mainly when it was recent, was doing literally any activity I could

Thank you. Yeah I think I am not occupying my time properly so I am left with a lot of time to ruminate on my troubles. I think however things like being online too much or playing video games are worse for you than doing a hobby that actually feels like an accomplishment. I used the internet as a teen for escapism and I find myself still doing it even though there's nothing in the present to 'escape' from.

I know that feeling, I was so dependant on internet and games that I can't even believe how retarded I looked. This in itself is a painful experience. When people said "wow you're so much cooler on the internet" I just wanted to die

Recently I heard the opposite, if you read the chat from a few days ago, I went on a date and this marvelous lady said I was much cooler in person!

May I ask how old are you, Christelle?

Ok, /rel/ics. You're usually quite a scathing bunch, but your advice can be pretty sound; so I'm going to swallow some pride and ask for it.

I seem to have become exponentially more attractive in the last month or so. Somehow.

And I'm struggling to approach that in a Catholic way. I'm pretty flirtatious by nature and I'm inclined to run with it when I see the signs from a pretty girl. While I'm not a fornicater, I am definitely walking a fine line and putting myself directly in the path of temptation without giving it the due thought and care I should be.

What do?

Make your faith more noticeable.

That way, if a girl starts to show that she likes you, you can make it clear from the beginning that any relationship, even a simple friendship, will be based in God.

This doesn't rule out all fun, however, just the degenerate fun. The fun that devalues the sexual act would be anathema, for certain.

I'm not being too vague, am I?

No, no.

I've managed to keep myself away from the degenerate fun, so far, but the fact I keep putting myself so close to it in the first place is of cause for concern.

I feel like I'm being tested particularly in this regard.

Very true.

Which raises all manner of other questions.

But one thing at a time.

I mean, you sound well aware of yourself as it is, so that's a good point to start from. Let's see. You mentioned you became more attractive in about one month, and that you are an extrovert by nature

Ok, I take it your personality remained the same through that change, but now you're getting more responses. Aside from Kristov's ON POINT suggestion, I would also add that you join an active youngs group from your local Church, in that way you would be surround by like minded people

Tldr, get involved in more... how do I put it... wholesome(?) activities
