I've been struggling in my faith for quite a while now. It's all a battle for me. I've gone from being extremely active to almost not at all and, what is worse, those I saw most on the parish level have not cared to connect with me at all, and it hurts. The one phone call I've received has been someone wanting something instead of asking me how I've been and what was going on. I realize part of it is me- I'm introverted and have numerous flaws- but I had always been there and was involved. The apparent lack of concern has had an extremely negative effect on me. As a result, it makes me less inclined to want to go to any parish activities.
That my priest even commented that he had once considered calling me and then decided not to- and further insinuated that my issues stem from feeling out of place due to not being Lebanese or whatever (nothing could be further from the truth) has made me resentful (I've not had even one conversation with my priest since then- and it's definitely been a while).
Please pray for me.
