Friends, or lack thereof

I suppose I can take the jokes, but being ridiculed is an entirely different situation. My close friends respect the fact that I am a Christian, and then there's others who want to discriminate me for it.

I don't mind if they have different beliefs, but I'd just like a decent level of respect. That's all. I give it to them so I should be able to get some back. It's hard enough to practice Christianity alone, rather than deal with people constantly putting me down for pursuing it.

It hasn't changed me personality-wise, and if it did, I'd expect some form of feedback which is fine. But recently, it's just uncalled for and very below the belt statements that are being thrown at me.

It's great that I'm finding myself on this journey of self-discovery, but I fear that I'll be losing others as the sacrifice.
