That's why they avoid me.
I stood around waiting quite a while to see my friend. But I could see him in the distance talking to all kinds of people. It took a long time for him talking to those people; so I couldn't wait for him. I took off and went home. He and I never ended up talking to each other.
I feel like I am entirely different from the people at the church. So I'm considering leaving there for good. I've been going there for three years. It's very heartbreaking that it has to come down to this. My friend would never want me to leave, but I feel like maybe it's the best thing to do.

Hi, Will. Before you began going to your friend's church, was there a different one you used to go to where you felt more at home? It might be a great idea to go back, because a place that should be uplifting and isn't, is a bad message to give yourself.
And your friend can still be your friend. I'm sure he would be happy that you are only changing churches and not friends. Good luck.
