I sometimes muse on my Atheism,
One of the reasons I became an Atheist, was the difficulty of ascertaining certainty in the Bible,
It's vast, a giant puzzle of thousands of years of history and philosophy,
Arguing on meanings,
Questions just keeps branching out and out and out. . .
But there is much in life I 'do accept and identify or hearken to, without worrying much on gaining absolute knowledge or certainty of understanding.
I'm not sure it's even that I want the Bible to be 'Right, for me to identify as one,
I just want for 'certainty on what everything in it 'IS and means,
But such is impossible.
And 'yet, I am 'Not bothered by my lack of certainty in 'other histories, of Earth, or America, of technology, of American law. . .
. . .
Hm, well, wouldn't matter 'anyhow, with my Atheism being 'now partly from my Materialism viewpoint of reality, (Doubts because of problems such as Being and Consciousness aside)
Also the problem of even if I believed, I think I still wouldn't be motivated to fully follow the Bible, love myself, my Ego, and Pleasures too much.
I recall liking Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
When I watched it as a kid.
I assume people can be more or less masochistic,
Just because they are so, doesn't mean one should 'encourage such a movement.

Maybe having a few friends might help you get over your negativity.

Eh, I'm close to my family,
Have a friend from High School I talk often with, was his Best Man at his wedding,
Though I think I was third or something on his list of possible Best Men.
I communicate on Discord pretty often with 3RU7AL
Talk with a person I met on Debate.org now and then on Discord, I forget what their username on that site was.
But still, we talk about our lives now and then.
. . .
Still, I 'do dislike friendship a 'bit,
I dislike 'losing friendship. Can't be betrayed if you never let anyone get close.
I dislike the obligations of friendship,
I feel more duty to a person when I 'call them 'friend, than if I call them a friendly acquaintance.
I sometimes dislike people taking up my time or attention, as I feel 'obligated to do for friends, more than acquaintances.
I like having my own time and thinking my own thoughts.
Though, I 'do like talking with people, often enough.
I enjoy having people I trust 'somewhat.
Or people whose company I enjoy from time to time.

That explains why you are afraid to make commitments. Better to be safe than sorry.

I prefer to think of it as caution, than fear.
Or as having higher regard or definition of what friendship entails.

Maybe your expectations are unrealistic. Or just to high to be met.
