Thanks for the kind words everyone. I really do need friends. Its so difficult for me to be social. I wonder whats Gods reason im this way. I hope you all had a great and blessed weekend.

[Linny]

Silent Loner,
Sometimes you have to push yourself out of being unsocial. It isn't my husband's personality either but now, wherever we go, he finds someone new to talk to. He MADE himself become more socialable and now he is very friendly and outgoing to strangers! 
Also, it has been such a blessing to him to meet so many interesting people. He comes home with great stories about neat people he has talked to.

......to capture us and draw us in. He gets our full attention when we are not out busily entertaining ourselves in the world.

God has also led me to the same conclusion. We don't of our own selves, want to be separated from the love of the world. Only God can and does DRAG us....with me, it takes not only dragging but knock down sometimes too, before drag out which is good that God doesn't give up, is Patient and Long suffering.

Same reason we all are the ways we all are.  He doesn't call many 'wise' many 'powerful'.  He calls ones who are (and confess with certainty they are) weak and lacking.  But He doesn't intend to LEAVE us like this!  You'll be as 'social' as a Son of God when He's finished raising you.

[Deborah-Leigh]

Yes Arc. It is always good to hear your input. Your wisdom here is invaluable, and always wise.
Thank you dear lady.
Blessings

Hi Janine

I thank God  Who continues to prosper in Joy and Peace, the desire He has given to you to know Him, and His Son.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

thank you all. But i feel i am a helpless case. God uses people for evil soemtimes, I forgot which verse it is but its in the bible. I feel emotionally numb and unable to express myself anymore. all these years of being mentally abused and manipulated has taken a toll on me.
L Ray is right, God does creat evil for the good of others and im the evil one. Im gonna stop here now.

Job 6:4  For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
Job 9:2  Truly I know it is so, but how can man be just with God?
Job 9:3  If he will argue with Him, he cannot answer Him one of a thousand.
Job 9:4  He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and been blessed.......?
Job 12:16  With Him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are His. 
Job 14:13  O that in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.
Job 14:14  If a man dieth--doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
Rom 8:22  And we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
Rom 8:23  And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body.

Hi Silent Loner.
Welcome to the forum. From one who mostly keeps to herself as well. When you are ready to socialise again try these rules.
Expect the best from people, prepare for the worst. 
Do not burden the people you meet with too much trust, they will mostly let you down. They may not want to but do it despite themselves.
Take nothing personally, Believe this. Not the nastiest action towards you is ever personal. It is a reaction from something missing or damaged in that person.
Look for something to love in every soul you meet. That person might be trying to backstab you every chance they get but on the other hand they love and cherish their canary, Focus on the canary. Then you can still smile and greet that person and get some pleasure from their company.

Go well friend.
Jassy.
