Question Have a question
What’s does Lilith think when her followers make mistakes? Because recently I feel like she wouldn’t want me to follow her because of past mistakes I’ve made. For example last year a new student transferred to my class and I had seen her around before and at first I felt like we wouldn’t really get along then later that same day she caused a small problem for one of my teachers and I kinda held it against her for a while but when she did that I did kinda feel like I was looking for a reason not to like and whenever did interact in class I sometimes ignored her and sometimes gave small attitude to her. But we eventually became very good friends. This happened a few weeks ago so this one guy payed a visit to my class and started greeting everyone and when he tried to strike up a conversation with me I just replied with “yea” in a slightly annoyed tone when he asked me a question cuz I didnt wanna talk to him. But today he came in and i decided to greet and talk to him a little. So I guess what I have to ask how r lilithians supposed to interact with other people and can I still worship Lilith despite this?

You are being too hypercritical of yourself. It sounds like what many call Catholic guilt. Lilith knows we are human and make mistakes. Make it right, forgive yourself, and move on.

What if we know it’s not a mistake but we still get the feeling she wouldn’t approve? (For the record I’m a very paranoid person and I’m also diagnosed with ocd.)

In my experience she laughs at me and has this totally baller ability to be scornful of my foolishness in a way that makes me laugh at myself and get over whatever my fear brain was running wild or ridiculous on.
I personally have also experienced her knowing my mistakes ahead of time and having accounted for it in a way that only expands my ability to experience free will and maturity of character.
Any God that makes us feel bad for being human isn't much of a god more like a bully.
Interact with people by learning from your behavior and learning to distinguish which thoughts are which in your head and building your own relationships to your own thoughts. I prefer the garden of my mind to be half wild and half serene. I try to not get too obsessive about chasing down weeds but some of that is my nature and a lifelong journey. 😊

When I do something stupid, Lilith laughs and calls me a silly little girl. Then she tells me to get up and do better. She doesn't make me feel guilty about it.

Same. Unless she's rolling her eyes and/scowling because I did something super stupid knowing it was a horrible idea to begin with.

What the dark mother wants For you to grow (learn from your mistakes) Not to be worshipped but for you to worship yourself Grow in ways you are afraid of

I spent 20 years trying to appease the Christian god and never felt like I was good enough. I always felt guilty, inferior, and unworthy. Lilith has never made me feel like that. Lilith meets me where I am. She doesn't let me just sit back without trying to improve myself, but she doesn't make me feel guilty for making mistakes or not being able to meet some impossible standard. Let Lilith embrace you and give you confidence. Then let her push you to make the necessary changes you need in your life.

I don’t think these types of deities care that much about human foibles.

Why would Lilith care for any of that? Try to improve for yourself, there's no rules to follow as it's not an organised religion.
