OK. I went to church last Sunday and did not feel like I belonged there. I felt rejected. Like why is he here? So now I no longer want to go to church. But I will continue to attend church simply to learn, not to learn.

I also felt rejected last night at a social gathering last night. My friend Kathy would introduce me to people and they did not seem at all interested in talking to me.

So I wanted dive right back into sin. inappropriate content brings a lot of comfort to me. I feel like I don't get love on earth so I might as well love myself. I did not look at inappropriate content, but I looked at something like inappropriate content. It was sin. I don't want the rejection of people cause me to reject God. But that is what I am doing when I dive back into sin. I was planning using my money to buy inappropriate content and other sinful stuff for relief.

I know that in the past I said I love to be hated and hate to be loved, and at that time I really felt that way. It was because I was afraid of being loved, for fear of getting hurt. But then I made some friends who really love me. And I really love them. But then they dragged me to this social gathering against my will. In fact, I kept saying people are either going to kill me or ignore me. This is Colville. They hate blacks and gay people. (Mind you I am not a practicing homosexual, for I believe it is sin. But I am still unrighteous, for I struggle with some besetting sins that are just as bad). And guess what, I was ignored. People basically gave my friend a why did you bring him attitude. As a result, I want to dissolve my relationship with my friends. I want to go back into being anti-social and hating people and rejecting them.

Please pray for me.

Don't reject friends who want to help you. They get to be imperfect too! They get to make mistakes when they try to help people but are misguided. I just know you can forgive them for that. Surely you don't think they were trying to hurt you. We can all be unwise and insensitive at times. Friends are people who put up with our imperfections and forgive them. Forgive them and love them. Hang onto people who want to help you even if they aren't sure how to do it. The question isn't how can you ditch them for making a wrong move that they thought would help you, the question is how can you bless them in some ways and strengthen your friendship. Also, how can you explain to them, without anger, that you don't want to go to such social gatherings in the future, though you appreciate them trying to help.

I'm sorry those people hurt you at Church and at the social gathering. The world is so often so unkind. I pray for you to rise above those hurts, in Messiah, and forgive and to grow in love. Yes, lust can be a form of love to some. I pray for you to walk only in love.

And btw I have seen quite a few people on this forum bemoaning the fact that people at Churches were not friendly or inviting. It's not just you.
