[nabs-l] having a hard time fitting in at church

[Danielle Sykora]

These things happen pretty much everywhere I go. People ignore me all
the time and leave me out of their conversations. I either try to find
people who have similar interests and treat me with respect once they
get to know me or I try to find a more accepting group of people
altogether. You can only try so hard to show people that there is
nothing wrong with you.
