Where is the last place you've been where you felt completely out of place?

@FreeSpirit1 menagerie au Trois 😂

@FreeSpirit1

thanks for bestie

@iamnikki I tell people to go once if youre slightly curious, but have an "out" in case you say nope, like I should've.

@Slade Same here. We always had beer, so there was a core 5 of us, sll in various grades.

They, I would see again, but not my classmates.

@ArkBallet Sadly, very.

@Sojournersoul I'd much rather have a small get-together for some fun now!

@ArkBallet me too.

@caPnAhab Oh wow, that sounds tough!

@ArkBallet I still work in the same place, except it's the kitchen where I'm really efficient

@caPnAhab then might as well stay

@BeachGirl47 Yeah, it's usually like that every time.

They always have a large crowd of people at the reunion, when in reality you only had 5 or less people you talked to at most.

It gets sad fast, lmao

@ArkBallet true

@ArkBallet I had a pretty tight bunch I went to grammer school with. They always come to our HS reunions even if they didn't go there

I'm always happy to see them

@Adogslife I can relate to this. I feel strongly that I don't belong there.

@CrazyMusicLover Exactly. I’m waiting for the lightning bolt. I know where it’s aiming.

@CookieCrisp Yeah, it didn't have much lasting impact on my life. My friends were still pretty in to it though

@ArkBallet thats the odd moment when you realize that you have progressed as a person and your friends... maybe not so much so. lol

@CookieCrisp That's honestly always a sad realization... but funny at the sad time

@CrazyMusicLover Yeah sometimes you just need to get the hell out

@496sbc :( I know many people can feel that way

@ArkBallet yeah its always been that way Ark. always but see u understand me which is cool

@Donotfolowme What happened there???

@tenente I'm sorry! That doesn't sound like a pleasant nor fun occasion at all. :/

@ArkBallet at mass, the leathernecks told me Desert Storm changed him, and not to judge him. the drugs and violence aside, i loved him. but i don't think anything i did could have made him believe it. he was too far gone the moment i was born. sitting there with these other jarheads in that esteemed place of worship, listening to the eulogies of a man i felt never met just felt so weird and fake. the venerable ceremony tore me in half. the veteran side of me couldn't reconcile with the fractured relationship i had with a father who beat my mother daily. just the most awkward experience i think i've ever had

@Musicman
I agree with you. I wouldn't bother going either.

What those guys are showing you is that they belong to an exclusive men's club, not a Bible Study group. For them to tell you they are taking the summer off, but then never invited you to join 'them' for pancakes at a restaurant, is telling you that their Bible Study group actually serves as a facade for the clique-group of like-minds who use the church as a self-serving stage for their own gain.

Word of advice.. when someone shows you who they are and what they're all about but you just can't believe it, just believe them.

@Musicman nonsense. They would be grateful to have you. If not shake the dust off

@swirlie @Madmonk You are both right.
