I've found over the years that the socializing process involves creating a fake person that everyone can accept based on the group's values and norms. This fake person is then judged according to its compliance to the rules set up intuitively by the group.
.
But me? I'm just an expletive adjective who just continues to be himself. I derive no benefit from being accepted as "the fake person" that people might like me as, they can like that imaginary person all they want without me present.
.
In this sense, "I" am not loved, accepted, or even acknowledged as existing except by my Creator.
.
So fellowship in contrast to socializing is in relation to that creator, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. I do experience fellowship from time to time with people, and it is a good thing.
.
Acceptance based on a lie, isn't why we were called into the light, it was so we could display what God has always seen in us as a potential ... that the socialization process rejects as impossible to exist. But that's what Jesus does, the impossible. Trust Him continually and watch as you become who you were born again to be.
