My friends are segregating me because of deciding to be a born again Christian
i liked how easy it is to do the work
nothing
I enjoyed this. I consider myself a good listener, and always try to help others in my own life.
The training was a bit long and the base pay is low. I would hope that after doing the training once, you wouldn't have to repeat it each time.

I have had a similar situation not long ago. It was hard, but once I told my friend it was bothering me, he changed his behavior. Hve you tried talking with your friend?

Have you considered, being more active in your religious community? It could be a great place to make friends.
assistant
Question
i am as active as i can be. they are friendly and supportive but right now they only ever socialize on church events or church. not really a friend i can confide in when facing hardship

It definitely takes time developing new friendships. Have your tired inviting someone from church to hang out, outside of church event?

no not really. I am trying to take time to at least get used to some in church first before anything I wouldn't want an awkward silence when we are together.

Well that's great that you're taking those first steps. I believe that in due time those friendships will blossom. Patience is key.

It also sounds to me like maybe you're over worrying. Have you considered seeing a movie where you wouldn't have to worry about awkward silence? Sometimes people just move on from one another. I personally wouldn't try to make these friends see what you are doing. I think you should focus on you, and look to the future.

yes, movies like war room and break through or a case for Christ but will they like them, what if they don't and they just come so they can be nice its hard but i guess its also true. i usually have a hard time leaving things behind but somethings just happen. Thank you for your insights

It doesn't hurt to ask what movie they would be interested in seeing. Maybe you can come to a mutual agreement! You're very welcome. If you need anything else just ask.
