The loneliness of never having an open and honest conversation.
The realization that you are not given unconditional love.
An overwhelming feeling of guilt.

Spending 9 hours a day at work with people who like you. Then turning down their friendship. Then go to a meeting and not have anyone who gives a darn about you.
Not being in the socially elite group in the congregation. If you're older, single, have a lot of kids, married to an "unbeliever," you have no social life.
As my sister, Waiting, and I were discussing the other day: being forced to set stupid boundaries or issues. E.g., the holidays, birthdays, voting, etc. Then, after offending people needlessly, you have to work extra hard to not offend them further. Forget about setting strong boundaries of your own.
