Not allowed to do

[Jazzy]

What were you not allowed to do as a child that now, looking back, makes no sense?

 

[gaze-universe]

Make friends and spend free time with non-believers.

Sleepovers. My dad believed that children belong in their own home and bed at night.

Go out on the main street. My parents would refuse to ever let me go down the stairs on to the main road because it was dangerous. My friends would tease me for it.

Going to school and returning home on my own.

Makes sense to me. I wouldn't let my child wander the streets on their own at a young age.

That's very sad. You must have been very lonely.

It was mostly limited to interaction in school, very limited time otherwise. I didn't see any real difference between being friends with believers kids and non-believers kids. Believers kids live double lives and don't differ very much from other kids, aside the hypocrisy. And within there comes the ridiculousness of the believer kids parents thinking I was the bad influence when really I stood there watching the kids do things I wouldn't of done at that age. Not sure what part of me was supposedly the bad influence? The fact that I wasn't very good at making friends? Or the fact that I didn't really think of the kids as the best possible friends to make? dunno. I wasn't even liked by the majority of my relatives >.> for a long time it's had me thinking I'm somehow not a very good person.

But no, I wasn't lonely - I still don't get lonely and don't really understand/comprehend what 'being lonely' means.
