Hi Everyone. Kinda nervous. Haven't really opened up on a forum about atheism before but am kinda having a down period in my life and thought I would give it a try. Ive become seriously isolated and depressed and feel i have wasted a portion of my life ruminating on the trauma from my childhood and the fallout of simply questioning my father and religion. Im 34 year old virgin and have been locked in my head it seems for a while.
Thank you for listening.

Welcome, don't be nervous, we don't bite - much.
Sorry you are down and depressed, that's not a fun place to be.

Thank you. Is it normal that I have apprehension about athiests even though I am one. I have some right leaning views and for some reason have lingering stigma of atheists in my head.

Welcome!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

We have all sorts of people here. Overall, atheists are only the same in their non-belief in a god or gods. There are also theists here of various flavors. As with any group of people, you may connect with some and not so well with others.

I dont mind. I used to care about politics and honestly kind of went insane. Trying to let shit like that go for now lol. I've become super introverted so its weird for me even to do this. Has anyone felt self hatred for their views because I have become a very self negative person.
