Feeling Left Out

[SarahB622]

Ok I feel so left out....I hate it....I don’t know what to do....part of it is that I have a panic disorder so I'm not very outgoing...I'm not in the popular crowd or any other crowd....I don't know what to do is there anyone out there that feels like this too.

I grew up feeling like that, minus the panic disorder. The popular crowd does not matter, you just need your own good crowd of friends. You don't need many of them, just a few good ones.

You can always pray for friends. Also, are you a good friend yourself? Friendship is a two way street, and if you're a good friend yourself, you deserve some good friends. If you think you have difficulty keeping friends, pray about how you can be a better friend yourself and for how to love people as yourself. That's bound to attract some friends, if only a few.

I've also grown up feeling like that; like I never fit in anywhere. However, after finding Salvation, I know exactly where I fit. If possible, get active in your church. And, avoid churches that have divided groups within it.... for they are what makes people like us feel left out.

I know what you mean..I've always felt that way (not the panic disorder). It is only within the last year or two that it didnt' bother me to realize I didn't fit in with many people. I've never had many friends, I've always just had one or two good friends who I hang out with alot. I never had a group of friends. But it's ok b/c I love them and they love me. And I know I'm different from alot of people. But it's ok. I wouldn't worry about it. Try to become comfortable with yourself, then worry about what others think.

Jesus wasn't in the "popular crowd" either .

Not cheesy at all! I'm with the Jesus crowd!

Count me in too! See, it isn't always bad to not be a part of the popular crowd!


To the OP, seriously, I do know how you feel. I suffer from anxiety/panic too, often in social settings. But as I start to focus on God, and becoming what He wants me to be, and realizing what an awesome, special creation I am because of Him, I start to worry less about what the world thinks of me and more of what He thinks of me!
