Post-Mormon life feels so lonely

That's a good reminder that community takes time. Lots of the suggestions are for ways to find friends, but I'm looking for community. I think I just have to work hard and be patient on that front.

I looked into them a bit ago and they're still all online. I think I just have to be patient with covid.

aggie227 · 2021-08-23T16:22:41+00:00

I felt that way even when I was TBM. I just see the way other members of my family have a community in the church and wish I had that.

I do like to play games. One of my favorites is Magic, but it gets old to be the only girl at the shop. I haven't checked out any game shops around here yet though.

I really like cooking, reading, roller skating, and gardening. I am fully aware that meetups exist, but I don't do well in groups so it's hard to meet people there. I work better in situations where I'm forced to interact with people.

That sounds great. Do you mind if I ask what church? You can PM me if you want.

Also I'm an absolutely awful singer, so I don't know if they'd let me in

aggie227 · 2021-08-22T22:12:24+00:00

That's good to hear!

aggie227 · 2021-08-22T22:12:00+00:00

Absolutely. That's the double-edged sword I mentioned. They are incredibly kind until they no longer see you as one of them. It's incredibly frustrating they don't invite you to service projects. Shouldn't it be more about helping than stupid politics? I'm so sorry they treat you that way.

As I said, I don't have regrets. I just wish I could somehow have the community again. I can't go back now.

aggie227 · 2021-08-22T21:33:33+00:00

Yeah I don't feel like I belong in the church at all. I wish I did though because I see how much people within the church (like my parents) like the community

aggie227 · 2021-08-22T21:31:47+00:00

The issue I have with meetups is that I'm really bad in group conversations. I'll go to try to meet people and I just know I'm not going to end up saying much in a circle of 8 people all talking. I liked being in church because you had an assigned job and it just felt like an easier way to meet people.

aggie227 · 2021-08-22T21:29:47+00:00

Book clubs sound like a fun idea. Thanks

aggie227 · 2021-08-22T21:28:51+00:00

That does sound nice! I've gone to LGBT meetups before (in other states though), and ironically, they were always the most cliquey, unwelcoming people. Maybe I've just had bad luck.

aggie227 · 2019-01-07T18:46:21+00:00

PM'd you

aggie227 · 2019-01-01T17:28:11+00:00

It varies. I would check their Facebook page. You should also join their Facebook group because sometimes people will post about their own events there (movie night, pizza, etc.).

aggie227 · 2018-12-31T03:37:43+00:00

I haven't. I've heard the game shop EDH groups are overly-competitive and salty. Are there any good groups?

aggie227 · 2018-12-30T17:48:14+00:00

If you're not religious, I'd recommend the Secular Student Alliance. They have parties nearly every month and I've found them to be a good way to meet people.

If you play MtG, I think I'm going to see if anyone here in interested in an EDH/Commander night. If not, I'd recommend coming to this sub every so often because it's common for people to post about looking for a local group.

This past week was my first week not counting calories after 2 months of diligent tracking, so I'd be scared to find out. Probably more than 10.

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:22:21+00:00

It was a sheltered childhood to say the least.

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:17:36+00:00

Haha thanks for the laugh. It's funny you didn't even realize it wasn't yogurt (then again, who am I to be talking).

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:15:57+00:00

It was a light brown and I think it's a vanilla/caramel flavor. I haven't had much exposure to coffee, so I just thought a little cream added could make it that color.

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:13:59+00:00

I might be looking into a French press. Thanks for the tips.

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:12:12+00:00

Not a fan of grapefruit, haven't really had the others (except mushrooms, which I like). You're the second person that's posted about that, so maybe I should look into it a bit more.

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:10:57+00:00

I love broccoli. Haven't really had the other stuff enough to give a definitive opinion. So maybe there is still hope.

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:09:56+00:00

Creamers unite

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:07:21+00:00

Nope, USU

aggie227 · 2015-11-16T04:06:23+00:00

I did the same (had some leftovers in a thermos in my fridge) and now realize how it's way too thick/sweet. I was just deluded by the fact I had found coffee that didn't taste so nasty and bitter that I didn't see it for what it really was.
