Building Stronger Relationships

Turning Pain Into Purpose: Finding Hope in What Tried to Break Me. Content Warning.

Finding God Through Community
For most of my life, I’ve known all too well what it’s like to be alone. I am neurodivergent, which means the way I interact with others is a little different. I don’t like eye contact because it feels physically painful. I can sometimes miss social cues, and socializing doesn’t come naturally to me like it seems to for others. Because of these differences, I became the target of bullying during my school years. I’ve been left out, teased, called every name imaginable, and even physically targeted.
