In 5th grade, I prayed for a friend in the congregation cuz I was lonely. Still waiting.
I know this one all too well. I only had 2 friends in the congregation. One is disfellowshipped, and I've come back in contact with him. The other one moved to BC. Around the time I turned 18, I absolutely refused to get close to anyone in the hall. I basically blocked out everyone who made an attempt. There was one brother who was determined to keep me going, and I just kept trying to shut him out. I found myself getting more and more angry with him.
I'm putting a lot of my experiences in my autobiography. It'll probably be finished near the end of this year, and I'll put it up for free downloading off the internet.
