The best way to deal with loneliness is to use it to draw closer to the Lord. Plowing through depressed emotions, though, is tough I know. Praise the Father for His unfailing love!

I've never really been popular, but I've usually had at least one or two true friends growing up. Well now that I'm 19 and out in the "real world," I'm beginning to slip back into a depression. I've been attending a church for four years now, but I still dont have any friends there. I know a lot of the people, but we arent close. I've gone to the social events and tried to make friends, but it seems like they all fade back into the same whir of the hive. Recently there was a church split and quite a few of the leaders left. We got a new youth pastor and I thought that would help the situation. My little sister was really good friends with not only him, but his entire family. It seems like the new youth pastor has been a disaster, at least to my family. When we try to strike up a conversations, we are repeatedly ignored. People are gossiping about us leaving the church because we haven't been attending regularly because my grandmother has been having severe health issues. I lead 3 and 4 year old Sunday School for the second service, so I have to attend on a regular basis. When I go, very few people ask how my family has been and tell me to let my mom know that they miss her. No one has called or emailed yet many have this contact info. Is it just me, or is this abnormal? I feel like no one there cares. I went this morning and it was like I was invisible to the people there. Since it seems like this has been going on all my life, I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with me? My family and I have no close friends. We could disappear and no one would really notice. Is this normal? I'm just bummed I guess... People are gossiping about us leaving the church because we haven't been attending regularly because my grandmother has been having severe health issues. I lead 3 and 4 year old Sunday School for the second service, so I have to attend on a regular basis. Hmmmm....... Discernment is needed here. Has any mod checked this ip address? Heb 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. Maybe it's just me, but I do have a little "discernment", and I think it would be wise to wait for the next, if any post here. It seems to me Fez that she may have been going to more than just the second service before, and because of the church split, they may suspect she is about to leave. notmy own22, you will always have friends here at Worthy. We are more than happy to talk with you and have fellowship. We are actually more than friends, we are family in Christ Jesus. Thats the way to tell em Son!....
