Perhaps stopping worrying so much about what people and spiritial entities think of you would be a good start. Maybe make a couple decisions on your own about good you can do in your community without worrying about cliques and religious restraints can help?

Well.. i could have wrote this! That’s exactly how i feel! 😐 I gave my life to Jesus about 4 years ago! And for awhile I felt like the Holy Spirit had me on house arrest! 😂 He probably did. I believe He removed me from society to transform me. Before and after being baptized I was STARVING for Him! For the Truth. I was ravenously devouring the Bible, reading books about scripture, watching videos about Jesus, reading and writing posts about Jesus! I was malnourished and wanted filled. And God is faithful! When we seek Him with a pure heart and selfless motives, we will be filled. And honestly I STILL crave Him everyday, all day! He consumes my thoughts. There is absolutely nothing I do that I don’t reflect on a verse that coincides with situation. Set-apart doesn’t even begin to describe it! 🤨 But I asked for it! I pray everyday and I ask him to captivate my thoughts to be in obedience to Christ. (!)(Tall order! 😯) To filter my mouth, bless my speech, so that my words are His Words.
🤔 The “in obedience to Christ” is in progress, but He has captivated my thoughts! almost my every thought! And He’s definitely put a filter over my mouth! ( Sometimes it’s better to be silent) because like at work I can’t seem to connect with people! and I was a social butterfly! you couldn’t shut me up! Actually I’m still a chatter box! I always had something to say. It was a bunch of jibberish before I was saved. NOW I have a lot to say still, but He’s what I want to talk about. and I can’t talk about Him at work. I just feel so out of place. ( I didn’t have a real job for about a decade! 8 years of that was before I gave my life to Jesus)
I don’t have friends now. I’m not involved with a church. when I do go I leave disappointed.
it’s just really been hard. I have all the tools. I know I’m supposed to be confident about who I am in Jesus. . but, it hurts… how mean people are. Idk Thanks for posting this. it’s helped me to talk about it I’m sure.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. I love you! 🥰

I too have a very close relationship with the Lord, and even fellow Christians are not close to me. I mean I can expect the worldly people and friends to walk away from me, but Christians too? It is almost overwhelming until I remember 2 Timothy 2:12 “If ye suffer, we shall also reign with him: If we deny him, he also will deny us: I believe that God wants us to learn to hear his voice more clearly. So the Holy Spirit is saying “talk to me I am you friend” In every conversation or question, concern, or problem that we encounter he just wants us to “trust in the Lord with all of thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.

I’m the same way. I haven’t had real friends for a very, very long time. Although I’m a Christian, I don’t feel like I fit in with the people at my church. I often feel different than most of the girls my age (Christian or otherwise). It’s a lonely feeling. I am still trying to figure out why this is true, but I’m starting to think that maybe God just wants me to go to Him in my loneliness and in my differentness. So in other words, maybe God is trying to make me rely on Him and His companionship instead of the comfort of friends, at least for now, to draw me closer in relationship with Him. Maybe it’s the same for you. Either way, I’d pray about and just keep seeking God above all things.

I feel the same way right now, I use to party and had people to always hang out with, now that I’m a Christian I feel like a misfit and I wouldn’t say I’m depressed about it but it definitely hurts to see friend groups at church and just not be able to fit in

Yes I’ve never really had any friends my whole life until I started partying and then I had all kinds of friends but then I gave my life to christ and once again my friends disappeared and like you I don’t really fit in at church I think God just want some people all to himself lol your not alone. remember John 15:18-25 it explains everything Mathew 10:22 as well peace and love
