I joined this site yesterday, I found it by total chance. I was looking for a way to deal with being a Christian who does not have very many family or friends who are of the faith. My hopes are that maybe this will keep me connected with other like minded individuals who hold the same beliefs. I do have a church home that I love but it is about 30 minutes away and I'm not able to participate in all the extra functions as much as I would like. I just wish sometimes That I wasn't so introverted. That when I had the chance to spark conversations, I could. I deleted my Facebook because I just couldn't take all the negativity and drama or the way people bashed others beliefs. family members with their constant bitterness. My husband says my standard are too high for friends and he's probably right. Maybe I do this subconsciously to Sabatoge potential friendships? Idk. I just want to be able to talk with someone who has the same values, morals and goals I do. Are friendships not for helping build each other up? For showing us we can be better people? I have a best friend who now lives an hour away and we still talk but hanging out has taken backburner since we both have little ones. Sometimes I wonder if this season of my life is just going to be solitary because of my situation. I suppose my biggest fear is that being so introverted and picky is making me miss out on a friendship I could form. Ugh. I've got to get out more or I'll just end up being an old hermit. Lol
