Had to leave my last life group.

I recently joined a life group Sunday after Church knowing that it would be mostly couples and their kids so I expected it.

The first couple of times I went it was good. Even though one girl not married completely ignored me no matter what I did.

There also was one single guy named Joe who said hi to me and we talked an bit.

Then the third week I showed up it all fell apart. That one girl still ignored me but another girl older than me started to swear. The first two weeks she did not swear at all. She must have used the S-word about 10 times. I think she even slipped in the F-word.

It bothered me so I did not say anything. Then I got an text from someone from life group wanting to hang out for coffee. I thought it was the girl who ignored me or the other two girls, not the one who swears bit no it was Joe. I basically texted him back saying I don't drink coffee and blew him off. I don't want to hang out with a single guy. I have enough guy friends as it is with Justin who questioned my obsessions with girls and the married associates pastors.

So then I went last week and of course that older woman was there and the other girl who ignores me was there too. I accidentally bumbed her head with my shoulder getting an drink I said I am sorry and she said nothing. I did that again with a guy and said thanks.

Well we were telling stories around the dinner table and it was that older woman's turn to talk. She talked about her experience with a friend when she was a kid. The friend was sick but she used those words I don't like, the s and f stuff.

I was shocked and disappointed but even more than no one said anything since it is supposed to be an family friendly Christian church group.

She did not swear again after but I wanted to leave so after we sang songs about each other I left not smiling with no intention of showing up again since that rotten apple is there every week.

Then yesterday the leader of the group texted me saying are you coming. I told her I did nit like how that woman sweared. Did not mention the other woman ignoring me. She basically said you will be missed but did nothing else.

Now I am back with Justin crappy group which did not meet last week and won't meet until May because people could not make it but the ones that show up are two couples one never there and other one takes about her husband in the Army. While there is one single guy Keith I don't want to be friends with. Then Justin promising new people that don't show up.

But it is not all bad in Church. They dropped the mask requirement. I already had one girl that I did not know actually talk to me and she prayed for me. I also had another girl who I did not know talk to me so now I greet her on Sunday if I am sitting next to her like this Sunday.
 
Hi Tony,

Sorry to hear of your experience with church. I know it can be difficult to make friends and finding a group of folks to hang out with is also what this "fellowship" thing is supposed to be about.

Hang on in there and keep trying
