Am I The Only One?

Do you ever feel like you dont fit in anywhere? I feel like that all the time! I love my friends dont get me wrong. I just feel like I dont fit in with them. Their life style and mine just dont match up. I mean Im LDS none of them are, Im married none of them are, I have a kid and none of them have that either. Sure I have friend that are married and have kids but they are still different then me and they dont seem like they like to hang out with me anyways. I just wish I had a friend that was like me! Does that makes sense? Some one that loves the church as much as me, someone Caitlynn can have play dates with, and someone that understands how it is to be a stay at home mom. I dont know where I fit in. I cant make friends with people at church cause they are all older then me and have more then one kid. I dont know. Ive just been thinking a lot I dont fit in any where and I really wish I did.

Oh man. I understand exactly! When we started going to church it was really hard to still be with the same friends that we love..
And some of the 'new' friends we were making at church and so on were intimidating. I still have a hard time because I have a past and I don't wanna be judged. And I don't feel 'good enough' to be hanging out with them.
I did learn that if I want to get together for lunch or a play date that I needed to take the initiative and ask. I started small. But I dont want to fit in. I want to be appreciated for me.
Let's do lunch!

Afton! You're awesome just the way you are!! It's difficult feeling alone. But remember you're not. If you ever need someone to talk to I am here! Also, remember the Savior always knows exactly how you feel.
