I am practically new to myspace..You know when I heard of myspace it seemed like a place for teens to "hook-up"..It seemed like the newest fad and the cool thing you can go to myspace and find a "friend with benifits" because thats all 99% of the men want anyways..Any how since I have gotten saved and became a Christian (to the very best of my ability)..I notice I have 0 real friends..I mean where my phone used to ring off the hook daily..no one calls at all besides my mother or my children..I mean nobody calls to even say hello to me. I go to church and try to find friends but these people are so self-absorbed that some barely speak and look at you like your the dirt on their shoes..Now I heard you can find friends online..NOW THIS IS A BIG LIE..I have had people contact me and thinking they want a conversation, all of a sudden its..what is your a/s/l..then what is your phone number..can I call you and how much they wanna sex you up and brake your back out.."mind you I still havent even said my real name to these clowns"..but it does hurt awful bad and it is very lonely being a christian these days when the whole world has turned evil..I love the Lord so very much..and I am physically dying to self..so I can be renewed in the spirit and become closer to him..and when I say dying to self I mean..I no longer do the things that is so called the "down" things to do that the world does..I dont fornicate, I dont want to, I really dont want to be touched at this point in my life..so I guess I am gonna be a lonely woman because I am not dropping it like its hot and rolling over like a dog...is this just me or does anyone else relate
Though the lose of friends probably is because of your conversion,
Most of those losses are probably for the opposite reason from what you think.
Reread your post – you speak of everything in the negative.
My guess is you started telling your friends they were going to go to hell unless they convert, and stop doing all the things YOU used to do, Right?
Did you turn into a proselytizer?
If you did, then most of your friends probably didn’t leave you!
You ceased being a friend to them, and chased them away!
I finally had to tell a friend of mine, to stop e-mailing me, unless she left out all the religious crap.
Normal conversations about her kids, friends, family, and what is going on in the world, had turned into pages long tirades of Christian crap!
If you want one or two of the ones whom you really considered friends, back, call them up and talk like you used to, instead of preaching at them.
