WOW!!, I didn't know anyone else felt like this, I'm 26 by the way but feel the same exact way you do. I thought I was the only one trying to put in effort and develop lasting friendships w/ quality Christian ppl. You are definitely NOT alone, I hope you know there are other Christians wishing for the same exact thing. And I pray that you will find what you're looking for. I haven't read the other comments yet. I have also felt really let down by ppl in general. This is not to criticize, just an honest commentary but many Christians including myself have a lack of love/empathy especially in the western world. They are too self involved/care about themselves. I'm just keeping it real. When I went thru a hard time, my blood sister was there for me, I saw the true, raw, strong Christian love. I've not met anyone like her. Also my blood family is there for me once in a while but I feel a bond to them. With ppl in the Christian church, I have a hard time trusting/bonding b/c I don't KNOW them yet, there is not a sense of "family" and I'm afraid they'll abandon/let me down (keeping it real). It can be developed, but many Christians lack that courage to reach out to others and show who they truly are. Also another commentary, I so desired that sense of "community" that I even thought of joining a commune (lol) and I can see why ppl join communes, cults or religious groups (not the super extreme ones), b/c there is that sense of community and you never feel lonely and they depend on each other many times better than Christians are doing it.
