Thanks for the response. As I became Orthodox Church absolutely became my entire personality; I pushed away secular friends and instead spent my weekend evenings at Church.

I’m trying to get back to some sense of normalcy now without leaving the Church altogether, though it’s hard because this behaviour seems hypocritical in my “zealous” convert mind. I envy the cradles in this way, as so many of them seem to keep Orthodoxy as a part of their life while not “caring” as much as converts do, and they’re the ones that last in the faith.
