It's not that easy, especially since I haven’t attended church in…I don’t know how long. As a single person in my late twenties with no friends and tired of my attempts to make friends, I just don’t think there’s a place for me. My mom and dad still invite me occasionally, but I’ve lost the...

Maybe. But I’m not holding my breath.

*eyeroll* Friend back then meant something different from what it does now.

I have also prayed about this stuff more times than I can count. Every time I get next to NOTHING. I might as well be talking to an imaginary friend. Sorry but, not everyone gets to enjoy what you apparently do. It's one thing to SAY to me that you care. You also need to SHOW me you care...

Oh my word. Not THIS again!!! Jesus/God is NOT my friend! That's not his role. He's my God and savior, nothing more, nothing less. We have nothing in common. Friends hang out with each other, friends are physically there and audibly talk to you. Can God do that? No. How about quit saying "Oh God...

Maybe I'm tired of having to change constantly so other people will accept me. Maybe I'm tired of giving "other people" one chance after another. If I'm gonna be a waste of your time, then you're gonna be a waste of mine. If you can't make time for me, why should I do the same for you? Every...

I was watching something recently about the Carrington event – this epic solar storm that happened in 1859 and caused telegraph poles to go haywire. Experts say that, given how much more we rely on tech and the internet now, the fallout could be worse. To that I say, good! We could use one of...

Yeah, partly cause of all this bogus tech, therefore no one has to try anymore, and partly because, again, we’ve made idols out of marriage and family.

Thank you. As for what you said earlier, what I want is for people to quit assuming that I haven’t tried or put myself out there or gotten my heart broken. I have a sister who lives a few miles away. I often want to hang out with her, but she has two young kids to raise. I can’t relate to...

Everyone please pray for me. I can’t sleep and feel like I’m on the verge of an anxiety attack.

That's all nice and good. But I already had that experience with my late grandma during her last days. I need friends my age with my life experiences. If you have a family and kids, I'm sorry, but I can't be friends with you. And I have tried different churches. It's exhausting starting over...

Problem is not all of us are gonna get married. And church hasn't been much help either with how they often put single people on the margins. Let's face it, the American church has made marriage and the nuclear family an idol. And it's easy to tell someone not to give up when you find what...

If only I could control people's choices.

At least one friend. By which I mean not an acquaintance, who'll just drop the relationship on a whim.

I didn't say it would help.

I honestly wish I wasn't built with a need for social interaction, because half the time, people just ignore me. "No man is an island," yeah well, sometimes when you're shipwrecked because of circumstances beyond your control, you have to do with what you've got. Namely, yourself.

I don't want interactions filtered through technology. If you exclusively want to use Zoom, I can't be friends with you. And I'm tired of Bible study. I want something else.

I have tried, for years. I went out. I applied. And every single one of those attempts led to disaster. Don't assume that I haven't tried, 'cause you don't know that I haven't.

No it doesn't. Anyone can make rat poison taste good by encasing it in cake icing. Doesn't mean it's not lethal. In the same way, no matter how you put it, no matter how good it may seem to you, the word "use" is bad when applied to other human beings, whether we like it or not.

Real relationships don't involve people using each other.
