Reply to comment by RidiculousBadger in I used to be a Chassidic Jew! Ask me anything! by RidiculousBadger

Appreciate your honesty and yes you do have a point that we could go on for hours about it tbh. I understand its a very sensitive issue and subject but I do find the Israeli governments actions quite deplorable at the treatment of Palestinians, especially after what Jewish people went through in WW2 (not looking for an argument, just my opinion)

How are you finding life now? Do you feel like you've missed out on anything or don't have any/many regrets?

I'm much happier now.

I used to say I live my life with no regrets, but that's such a childish thing to say. I have regrets. I would definitely have done things differently.

I spent 10 adult years being ultra orthodox. I definitely feel like I missed out on forming strong social bonds with people my age, and as a consequence, I feel as though I live largely in isolation.

Having said that, I have a decent online social life.

Fair play to you mate, nothing is ever too late in most instances.

Sincerely wish you the best and hope you get past the isolation part as you're more than interesting enough to build strong social circles

All the best
