So, I actually get really uncomfortable when people say they're gonna pray for me because I don't believe in God. But then I feel rude for being uncomfortable because that person is doing what they think is one of the best things they can do to help me...

And I always have people telling me I should be grateful, but it just makes me uncomfortable. So most of the time I just swallow my own feelings and say thank you.

It's like, when I'm in public and someone sneezes. They all look at me like I'm rude for not saying "bless you"...but like...I don't believe in that?

If I had to explain how I feel...it just feels like I am always the one expected to compromise my beliefs or lack thereof, bc it makes the other person feel good to be praying for me. So I always have to swallow how I feel and tolerate it, since they're doing it out of love.

And maybe that's ungrateful, but why do I have to respect how they feel but they don't have to respect how I feel?

I will probably delete this post...idk...
