Go to Church!

There are a lot of people your age at Church, men and women who would love to get to know the real you. BC is overrun with pessimistic loner rejects who try to pull others down with them, but what we don't hear from is the 99% who participated here for a few weeks/months, before realizing that they don't want to dedicate their entyre existence to being an ostracized society rejecting troll. Winners rarely post here, because we don't fit in with all the negative outcasts who have given up on ever fitting in with normal people. Often times it's people's fear of rejection that makes them reject others without giving them a chance. It's so hard to walk in that Church door for the first time. It's embarrassing to be the new guy. It's scary at first, but once you've been hanging around for a few months or few years you'll be totally comfortable. Then you will be the one greeting newbies in the fellowship hall, hoping that they feel comfortable enough to come back Wednesday night for the potluck supper. Many churches have programs for people with trauma where you can join small groups to process your trauma together. Don't listen to the voices of fear and doubt here who tell you that no one will ever accept you for who you are. Who you are isn't defined by your mistakes or by your attractions. What you are is a child of God and believe it or not, you are perfect in his sight. No matter where you go there is a local church ready and willing to take you in just as you are and love you and support you and accept love and support from you. That's what it means to be in a church family.
