The thing is many of their ways is my ways. So I'm worried about being influenced by them. And I don't have the freedom to completely change my ways until I leave.
People make god and the bible complicated and its not...the two most important of gods laws are Love god and love your neighbor as you would yourself. Buy loving your neighbor you are loving god..by helping others you are loving god. And understand your gonna screw up over and over and over again and god is okay with that...you ask him to forgive you and keep trying. Better yet here is the story of the good samaritan it is one of my favorite of Christ's parables and sadly it is one that alot of Christians ignore.You see, I want to change my life for God, to repent of all my sins, but I feel I may need to dump everything and everyone to do that. I live with my family and they aren't believers. And till now I was finishing college so I could get a full-time career ( healthcare because I want to help people) so I could save up enough to move out and live as God wants me to. But even then would I be living within God's terms if I kept in contact with friends and family, who are not believers? By leaving would I be following God or just running away from it all?
But then I'd put my family and friends through grief if I did that. And I'd be living on the streets cause I don't have enough to live on.
I feel so lost and Idk what to do to follow Jesus properly. Christians tell me to pray and ask and repent receive the Holy Spirit but nothing happens. And I don't get any answers from God.

Sounds like good churchy world based advice.. Cant find scripture for it through.
I Wil read through the rest of the posts.but so far all have been ... scared ?...to post the obvious words that Jesus said.
Probably because ya can't preach what ya don't ..or never have..practiced.
You told us that you worried that so much as keeping in contact with family and friends would threaten you. So how do you suppose you can function in the world after you leave home? You will be surrounded by non-believers in your workplace and most other associations, pasttimes, clubs, etc. you have anything to do with.
How to be saved/born again:
How can I be saved?
Why can't you keep in contact with, well I can understand maybe some, but not all, of your friends or family?You see, I want to change my life for God, to repent of all my sins, but I feel I may need to dump everything and everyone to do that.

It's only a hypocrisy if your pretending something. But I deleted posts as I did not realize I was in the advice forum.The text states no such thing.
Please. You wrote "Probably because ya can't preach what ya don't ..or never have..practiced." about people you know nothing about. My response to you is "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye."
I will do the same.
