I have been married for 17 years with kids. We have been going to the same church all that time. In all that time I have never been able to develop in any friends. My wife has had no problems making friends.
We participate in Sunday school and we attend services weekly. I try to talk with people but have never in all that time been able to develop any connection with anyone. Yes. I am an introvert. But I do try. No one seems interested in getting to know me. I talk and ask about them. I try to take interest in their lives, but no one seems interested in me.
Other than my wife, I have not had a friend in 22 years. I have grown to accept the fact that it is just not meant to be. My wife prays for me about this. But to be frank about it, at 45yrs old I just feel there is no point in trying anymore. I know this is contrary to christian teaching.
I am just confused about what to do. Why I can't seem to make friends. My wife says it is not OK but in over 20yrs of prayer, other than my wife, I am still waiting.
