Here recently I've felt more lonely then ever, it seems that nobody wants to talk to me or even be around me, I go to all the youth night/bible studies, and I tried to surround myself with the people at church but they never want to talk or hangout, it's almost like I'm not even there. I know Christ said he'll never leave me or forsake me, and I'm so thankful for that but I still feel so hurt and lonely. I want to give up so bad even though I know I can't. I'm looking help/prayer not sympathy

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It is completely normal to be hurt and lonely when that happens, and that you feel like this is particularly damning of your church. However, Christians are not immune from the dynamics of popularity. I have found in some Christian circles that some people are popular and attract more friends around them than others.
I have been in a situation of sitting at a table full of Christians and I felt completely irrelevant with no attempt to include me. Thankfully that was a one-off. My advice to you would be to pray. Pray for Christian friends who value you, God is completely able to provide that. If he doesn't where you are now, you may be best at some point to move to a different church. But don't do that lightly.
Perhaps also God has a purpose in this. Having felt like that myself, I am more able to spot others who may feel like that and make a point of speaking to them.
Anyway, I shall pray for you brother and have confidence that He will sort things out according to his "good, pleasing and perfect will." - Romans 12:2

I used to feel this way too.But then someone asked me if I involved myself. She told me that I feel like they don't like me, so I withdrawal from them... So I actually tried to stay involved in conversation and participate in games and stuff with them, and that changed!!!!!
If you really are in a group that does truly ignore you, I've been in groups like this too... try to get involved in other places in your community if possible... I personally like the animal shelter and have made some good friends there. also, depending on your community, they could have friendship organizations that meet together and stuff like that... just something to look into... sorry you are feeling alone!!!!

try to find the biography of Madame Guyon. her husband and her kids hated her and she went through many difficult things but she found the Lord through it. Always God wants us to get closer to Him and sometimes that means being lonely on this earth.
