@PrivateHell it is definitely a red flag for me
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
I've known several of those types, yeah. My mother is one of those who seems more obsessed with the afterlife than the life she has.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@UndeadPrivateer Exactly.

It's like they won't live now but continue to talk about how they will live better in the afterlife.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@JaggedLittlePill Yeah, it's really weird to me. Especially when it manifests in incredibly self-destructive or just generally destructive ways. She's burned a lot of bridges with her shit behavior.

Most people I spend any time with are aware of and endeavor for a positive afterlife.

I know many more that have trouble finding any meaning or purpose in this life and mock the concept of an afterlife.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@Budwick I don't necessarily mock the concept. I am speaking more about those who use it in manipulative ways and there are many. Narcissistic and sociopathic people who subscribe to such things use it in a way to attempt to absolve themselves from doing something here and now.

"We can't be together now but we will in our afterlife" it's a string of attachment they tack onto the relationship in order to keep control and manipulate the situation to their advantage.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@JaggedLittlePill Manipulative narcissistic sociopath; sounds like you are dealing with people suffering personality disorders. The afterlife issue would be an interesting addition to the mix, but I doubt a cause or anything nefarious.

No, I'm not a psychologist.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@Budwick a cause of anything nefarious? Lol. Ok. 👍️
summersong · F
Tbh I find that really creepy.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@summersong me too
DownTheStreet · 51-55, M
I’d pretty much drop kick someone who said that to me
Classified · M
I think you know I believe in afterlife. 🙂
Hard to imagine how it would be though. 🤔
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@Classified Yes..but this is not to mock that belief. I hope you know this.
Classified · M
@JaggedLittlePill I know. Otherwise I wouldn't have replied. 🙂
Sourdad · 56-60, M
Walk away, and don't turn your back on them.
Gangstress · 41-45, F
Argh that seems to be me recently. All im talking about is death.how i will die. Will we die together. Will i go first. Will she be ok
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@JaggedLittlePill i fear there is something he is not telling you. From what i know, love is unconditional. It does not matter your situation,you go all out. When i professed my love to glitter i was besotted. Which meant i gave my life to her. Love also can become complicated dependent on circumstance. We were only 300 miles away. But i hated it. There wss a yearning of physical affection and things online aren't the same. Ldr are not for the faint
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@Gangstress Oh yes there was a lot he was not telling me that ended long ago I was just stuck in my mind yesterday thinking about all my fucked up relationships!
Gangstress · 41-45, F
SweetMae · 70-79, F
My first thought is that there will be no marriages or love relationships in heaven.


My second thought is that this person might be stringing someone along.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@SweetMae yes indeed!
NudasPriest · 46-50, M
To live solely (or predominantly) for the afterlife is a waste and a tragic shame ... life is a gift, to be enjoyed ... but I do think it's wise to live in a way that doesn't ignore the possibility of an afterlife either ... personally, I believe there is one.
SunshineJ · 41-45, F
I found it creepy.
