I personally hardly ever hang out with people. A lot of the times any of the activities my church acquaintances do I have no interest in. However it comes to a point where someone can become invincible and no one ever invites you to anything. When people do invite me I reeled honored, yes I know it's silly, and although I would decline at least I was thought of. Anyone feels the same? If you have no interest in hanging out it feels nice to be asked.
Anyone ever feels it's better to be asked than to participate?

Ya know, I am an introvert and in the last couple of years I have become more extroverted and have gained many friendships. Let me tell you tho, that it has required me to get out of my comfort zone in order to feel comfortable with others. God wants his children to mingle with one another and I find it somewhat selfish to keep to yourself when you have so much to give to other people. now this doesn't mean that you have to go out every single weekend, but you don't know what your presence means for someone else so get out of your comfort zone and meet some amazing people. I promise you that you will never be the same again 
I don't "hang out" with anyone. I sing in my church choir and do maintenance work at the church every Monday with another fellow, and I visit my brother and his wife up in Oregon a couple of times each year. I enjoy the time I spend with those people (and in church Sunday morning), but that pretty much satisfies my desire to hang out. Sometimes I wonder if I should hang out for a while in the church social hall after church is over, but I haven't been doing that.
If you turn down invitations and make it obvious that you don't want to be invited then you can't blame them.
I got that but I like it.
What kinda sucks is when everyone starts making fun of you just because you ain't like them.
In my experience it just ain't worth it to be like them I guess that people human or otherwise are natural herd animal so they like need to group together I guess for some kinda secure feeling that they get from the herd...not me, I ain't like that.
All's I need is God watchin over me welst I do my own thing and I feel great.
God bless

Introversion has nothing to do with not socialising with people. Introverts, such as myself, get drained easier in social situations where extroverts are energised by them. It is true that introverts do prefer less social contact but it's not to be confused with being a hermit.
Relationships are important and is how God has designed for us to become the best at what we can be. Right relationships are an immense blessing, they help you grow, encourage you, keep you accountable and brings people together for a common purpose (especially for the Kingdom).
I too find it difficult to form friendships, always have and always have had a few very close friends, but as you step out and involve yourself socially with people, you'll see the blessing soon.
