Ok so this is funny but serious at the same time haha
So I've been in my new church for almost a year now, and I do not get along with any of the youth. They have totally different lives from me and I feel whenever I try to get involved with what they're talking about I'm so lost. Sometimes I try to be nice and people just don't seem to want to be my friend . . . yet I feel like when I'm my naturally quiet self they think I'm being stuck up or something.
Now, normally I could care less because I honestly do not like people in general and don't get along with anyone outside my close group of friends, and trust me I live a happy life. But surprise surprise, the youth in my church recently voted me to be president of the youth! In my church how it works is the congregation vote for a president for the men, women, youth and kids and well in the election I got the most votes for youth president. I'm now "the example" gotta be real good and stuff and I have to arrange youth services and activities and all this other work (lucky me right?). Again, the problem is, I DON'T LIKE THESE PEOPLEEE. I love them as my brothers and sisters in Christ but I just blah. I am such a sit-in-the-back-corner-run-out-before-people-talk-to-me kind of guy!
Does anyone get what I'm trying to say? Anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice?
Thanks
