Here's a place for you to vent

We usually have thoughts that 'tumble' out, whether it is meeting a friend for the first time, or we're so familiar with our work we get bored and speak very fast to our clients, that it sounds rude; when we win a competition and we're elated; etc..., but when we are upset, and that 'tumbles' out too, we usually find ourselves in less than compromising positions. We lose friends, relationships, even families bc of those kinds of 'explosions'. At the end of it, we may feel spent, but at a huge loss. Venting just is, if we all know how to put a 'frame' to our vents or any kinds of speech. But, as it is, we don't, and our words simply 'tumbles' out.
Anyone may vent their hearts/guts out here. There will be no responses from me. It's not necessary. I hope that by the end of this exercise, some of you would've found some peace or calmness. It's my hope too that through this, you also learn to behave more appropriately in public even if others don't.
Much like the barf bags on planes for our puke, the ecology will look more refreshing when we find proper places to puke our mental/emotional stuff.

I do not believe in God, and it hurts my OWN feelings. I feel empty, because it seems like people with a belief system are so much stronger. I just want to KNOW the truth, KNOW what is real, KNOW what is out there... KNOW everything. And being like that... it's almost a pessimistic, perfectionistic, corner I'm trapped in.

allshookup-i don't know what to say. I believe in god though i don't go that often to church. Believing in him is really a big help everytime i feel so alone, worried and depressed. I dont know but everytime i talked to him it's like all my worries, angers and everything is been lifted up and all of a sudden i find inner peace. maybe if you have time try to talk to GOd and you will know what is the truth behind your questions. Focus on talking to him, lift everything to him and i hope you find what you are really seeking. hope this will help. have a nice day!

To Sayuri: You sound concerned that allshookup has shared her OWN feelings (socially unacceptable ones) about God here. Don't worry, let her get all shook up HERE. There are 'places' she or anyone can do this without being fixed or told to change. God can deal with anything, including confrontations such as this. If you have a fear of her expressions, you may like to examine your own fears of confronting God. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not encouraging everyone to confront God; yet, ironically, if I don't, knowing there is such a lot of religious crap going on in the world of religion, I feel we must all have hidden secrets about our feelings for God that have little place in the real world.
She is not going to remain 'hateful' or angry forever. In fact, her feelings will transform in time, this without anyone's input. Unless of course she asks for it.
If you've been trying to sound encouraging, then, I take it she will hear that too. But, I feel that she is not yet in that position to receive 'nice' pat answers.
Let her 'clean' up her own 'emotional puke'.(it means, let her vent and do an internal self-cleansing by doing that). Then, she will feel free enough to encourage herself and even to ask for encouragement, if she knows that's what she needs.

I used to be a short-tempered person. It's like all of a sudden i exploded when faced in a annoying situation. But as the years passed, i know I am not that old enough and i will experience alot along the way, little by little i learned to control my temper. Everytime I am annoyed and pissed off all I do is just tell myself "ok, dont explode now just discharge later". And the truth is, for me it helps, after faced in an unpleasant mental situation I just found myself being alone and discharging my feeling in doing poetry or anything like photography where I can let go my feeling. That is the best place for me to vent and let go of the unwanted feeling.
