Where is each other's greatest happiness

I have a girlfriend who is 2 months younger than I've been dating. She says that she did something terrible to her the other day due to her lack of confidence, and she didn't know if she liked it. My feelings were too great, and even if I reflected on my lack of confidence and said that I...

About choosing not to have children

It's almost been 1 year since we got married. People around me ask me about pregnancy and birth plans, but to be honest, I'm really worried about whether I should have children. There are a few reasons. First of all, I'm extremely anxious. There were times when I left feeling unwell for a while...

Nice to meet you. In the past, I've been caught by the police for sexual crimes (the content is hard to say, so I'll hide it). (same content as last time) Yesterday, there was a request to appear from a police station different from the one I was indebted to, and they will show up next...

Strong self-loathing towards oneself

Do you have a fever only before going to school

Yesterday and today, I only had a fever before I went to school. I ended up taking a day off. However, when I take a break, I suddenly feel well and feel guilty that I was able to go to school well without a fever. I wonder if it's a false illness? There are times when I think. But now there's...

I don't like my friends

I have made Chinese friends at my current workplace. That friend is younger than me, but he is very solid, works fast, and is excited. It's simple Japanese, and I speak to everyone with the same attitude. It's very bright and positive. It's kind. I'm so envious of her. They are relied upon...

I'm sad not being able to have children

I can't give birth to children due to an intractable illness, but every time a child is born to a friend or relative, it's painful. My cousin has been estranged until now, but when we get married or have children, they come to my parents' house to get money and stuff. That is frustrating and sad.

I'm complaining that he committed suicide in front of his home until the 49th day of his suicide

People who committed suicide 10 days ago were asked questions about whether they could go to heaven or attain Buddhism. This time, while drinking alcohol in front of my wife, who committed suicide, I thought almost every day, “Why did you do this. That's stupid.” My mother also committed...

Change of feelings

How should you switch your mind when something you care about that cannot be replaced is damaged or broken? Every time something like that happens, I get caught up in it. Also, it makes me freak out that other important things might get damaged or not. Even though they were meant to heal me,...

I want to die but I can't

I want to die, but I'm too afraid to die. It's so much harder to be alive, and it's hard to keep living like this, but I can't even die. It's hard to change even if I think it will get even a little better. I don't even know what would change and how I would like to live. I've managed to live...

Monk from home

I think it's a question. Isn't it difficult being a monk from home? Isn't there a lot of people who have almost zero jobs as monks? Just a personal guess.

I want to know “myself.” A turning point in life?

I'm a 26 year old woman. The trouble has continued for the past six months or so. Other things that had been going well until now, such as continuing illness among family members, getting into trouble continuously at work, and things that had gone well until now suddenly stopped going well. My...

Please give a neutral answer

I broke up with my boyfriend a few days ago. Last Tuesday, when we had lunch together, they asked me about the atmosphere at work, and I said, “The person I hired recently retired without telling you anything. When I told them, “It's fine to say one word by phone or email,” my boyfriend said,...

Why is there pleasure in violence?

I'm a 33-year-old man. It is said that violence and murder are prohibited, so why did God give pleasure to violence? I used to bully me when I was in middle school. I'm reflecting on it now, but I think it was fun back then. There was a spider that had plucked the dragonfly's wings and attached...
