Thank you, all. 
I just struggle with the desire to be liked and loved. I don't have any friends at all, truly, and my family holds a verbally abusive element many times, so knowing they love you, but don't like you, hurts. I had my friends reject and abandon me en masse 5 years ago...I overcome and press on, but when it feels like not even your family likes you, it just becomes too much. Thank you for your kind words and prayers.

Is there a reason why your friends left you 5 years ago? I've seen that happen too - usually it's because I raised the bar on them and they chose instead to limbo under it. You don't need friends like that.
To be honest I'm tired of people and their attitudes. More often than not these days I'd rather just be left alone. That's why we're moving to a small (only 2,000 population) farming community in MN. To be among a small group of people who by circumstance have to coexist and help each other.
A doctor friend of mine gave me good advice years back. He said that if an environment is making you sick, the best course of treatment is to leave that environment. Not sure if that will work in your circumstances, but it's doing wonders for mine
We are never alone, of course. We can always talk to the Lord. I live alone but I never feel alone. I do get bored sometimes.
A church is a good place to make friends. I belong to my church choir and feel close to them. I enjoy going to church - I feel a closeness to many members of the congregation.

At the age of 55 my little brother still lives with - and off of - mom and dad (who are in their 90's). He does no work or chores (my mom broke her hip 2 years ago doing HIS dishes). They walk on eggshells and hold their tongue out of fear of setting him off. 3 years ago I got fed up with it and told them they either had to enforce some discipline and respect on him or I wasn't coming around anymore (keeping in mind that twice a week I drove 100 miles to shop, cook, and clean for them). My dad told me that I could either learn to get on my knees and kiss the little lord's @ss like they do or I could stay the h3ll away. I don't see them much any more.

In truth, they left because they had a Pharisaical spirit and I was moving toward grace, mercy, and love. The church we attended was very hateful, though you don't see the water you're swimming in, so they couldn't see how evil it was. It doesn't exist anymore, but I am still shunned. The friendships were the deepest I'd ever had, so needless to say, the shunning hurt more than I imagined. I was actually uninvited from a wedding days before it happened. I ended up with an outbreak of hives for months due to the stress of it all. Even now, looking back, though I've released them from judgment and moved on, I cannot open myself up to make friends, and so I don't have any.
Thank you, again, for sharing. May God give you peace and prosperity in your new town.
Sweety, if you can not open up to make new friends then you haven't forgiven and moved on. I'm reminded of that saying that when God closes a window He opens a door... you were obviously on the right path and this world will always reject those who are on the right path. I would assume that path would have led to a new church and friends... but I would also guess that it did not. Or, maybe it still does, it's just waiting for you to walk down it.
