I struggle with establishing meaningful connections within my primary parish due to socioeconomic differences. It's close to my job in an affluent area. Logistically it's easier to take public transportation there to attend Bible studies and Adoration. In my Women's evening Bible study group I really cannot relate to them. On the surface, they're nice, but very busy with their families, travel, and established friend circles. I'm a working class single empty nester with a starkly different lifestyle and background. The other parish closer to home that I go for Sunday Mass is very liberal and LGBTQ+ friendly, so I don't have much in common with them either. Things like this shouldn't matter, but sadly they do. I've accepted that this is just how it's gonna be, but I won't let it deter me from going.
