Im a guy, 30-something, married with kids. My wife is still very much a believer, as are my friends and family. I feel so alone in my faith transition. I really want to go to the Sunday exmo meetup to hopefully meet other people who can relate to what Im going through. The problem is I am very much am introvert. It is extremely difficult for me to just walk up to people and start sharing my story. That isnt me and I have to be myself. Im afraid that if I go, even just to listen, I will appear standoffish. Yet i also dont want to feel forced to “participate.” Thats one of many things i disliked about church. I can play the part when I have to, like in my career, but that isnt personal. When it comes to something real and sensitive like this, Im not sure how to approach it, especially as a man. It seems like generally male relationships tend to be superficial and I need a friend that I can be real with. I realize not one can do this for me, I have to step up. But how? Does anyone else feel this way?
