you did well in letting it out.
As far as the Chruch may be it is a very good place to make friends. You have something in common that you can talk about and something to do together. Sometimes Churches also have groups of people that meet up for many reasons.
I've been without friends and sometimes it feels like a mountain, all we have to do is to take down the mountain pepple after pebble
So don't expect big. Expect some company and some people to talk to.
That's a start. In time you will make closer friendships and, while your friendshop feet get better, you'll find other ways and places where to make friends.
Loneliness is terrible, loneliness kills us.
PLease do something
