I'm learning how to give up on things that no longer serve me

This church group I'm in makes me upset and does not meet my needs.

I've never been happy with any job I've had. I've always stayed at them too long, causing SO much stress, and anxiety.

My immediate family (mom, dad, siblings) are fake and 90% of our gatherings seem inauthentic. Actions speak a lot louder than words.

I'm no longer going to ignore my feelings.
I'm no longer going to persevere through a job that leaves me feeling drained and terrible about the job and myself because how I'm treated.

Hate that I have no one to turn to but, I'll survive

Check around, there are many religious/spiritual gatherings that may can fit your needs better...

Not all families are blood related and sometimes you have to create your own...

Jobs are everywhere, but you must know where is you want to go

@QueenandCrown Yea I've been looking for new churches. Creating a list. I have one that I plan to visit Sunday. I see online they do outings once a month. My current group does nothing but zoom once a week.

Yes, just need to find decent people. It's been difficult.

@iamnikki Check with meetup in your area, they have different groups of like minded people you can meet

@QueenandCrown I"ve tried that several times. Even went way out of my comfort zone and started my own group;covid messed up my progress. A couple years after covid, i tried again and no one would come to anything. I've joined a few groups that I am interest in but they have events every few months or so.
I reached out to the organizer of one to ask if any events were coming up.
She wrote to me what seemed like a "nice-nasty" message. Something along the lines of "I am busy in my personal life and have alot to do so I do meetup when I have time. Yes there will be more events [b]and please note that I am not accepting a co-organizer,[/b] hope to meet you soon". The part in bold was verbatim.
So yea, I'm done with it.
