True, yet personal new friends is something I have been praying for as I made poor choices in the past and those friends turned out to be not so good and are no longer friends. I have since learned to use more discretion. Still need good godly friends though.
I had the same issue as you. My friends, though I still love them and see them when I can, were just growing distant as life usually does, as well as my faith growing as I sought God. I joined a church and then joined a bible study. It was so painful and embarrassing to do, because I was such an outsider and I had only just come back to Christ. But I'm SO GLAD I stuck with it through the months of awkwardness and discomfort, because now I have a group of real born-again Christians that I can call real friends. I beg you to try the same thing.
It might be painful. You might have to sacrifice time for it. But you might be able to find the community in Christ that you desire if you at least try.
It’s so odd. I feel close to many of you here and have no idea who’s behind the keyboard.
Without seeing each other, we are able to focus on each other's thoughts and words rather than the face behind it. :)

Yeah that's like me with relationships 🤣

We have found a church we like, still trying to get to know people
Same. Wish we could all meet in person
