I have to confess--I guess I've never been close enough with anyone at church to have the feelings described by the OP. In the past, I HAVE felt that way because Sunday mornings was the only time I was around people on the weekends. But churches all have cliques and I was never a part of any of them, so I always sat alone and kept to myself.

There were also times I was going through something and would get so tired of hearing all the same cliched answers that I stopped telling anyone what was going on with me. *smile* Yes, I know this is incredibly cynical. But everyone is always talking about their kids and their families and all the activities the kids are involved in and I can't contribute to any of that, so I just smile and nod. If I can be perfectly honest, church is another obligation for me, just like work--it's just another thing I have to do.

I would love for that to change... one day. Hopefully.

Usually, my mind is so occupied with everything I have to get done before Monday that I'm actually in a rush to get home.

But I can certainly empathize with how the OP (and others) feel.

I actually enjoy Sunday afternoons, either I'm having lunch with friends or at home cooking for our Sunday family dinner, I used to dread Sundays because of work the next day, but now I don't have to be at the office until noon. :D

Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. Especially if no one is home. When I lived with my parents we always had some of the youth hangout. When I moved out and even if my roommates were home, I did experience that melancholy feeling. Especially, when there were no sports on tv ha.

Now, I workout before church and make plans to have lunch with a group. I learned to be comfortable alone as well. That took a little time to get used to but it is very self-empowering

Sundays...Oh how I miss my Sundays of Church, family meal and rest. I WISH and long for them. After Church it is nonstop laundry, clean house, mow the lawn, wash the cars and on and on and on.

Sundays and Saturdays are the only days when my introvert and extrovert quotients are thoroughly satisfied. For instance, on Sunday, I spend close to 4-5 hours at church, socialising with a lot of people. By 2pm I am exhausted, so I come home and take a nap. By 6pm in the evening, I am good to go out again, so I step out for coffee or dinner. So, I do not find Sunday afternoons depressing.

I think it depends on how much of an extrovert or an introvert you are.
