But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into the wonderful light. – 1Peter 2:9
There are so many pressures to fit in to what the world defines as acceptable. I often wonder why so many times I leave a gathering and feel like, “Man, I did not fit in with that group or that situation.” We were not made to “fit in” every friend circle. We were made to be different and stand apart from the norm. That may seem lonely sometimes because being different requires standing alone. One thing is for sure, you are not alone in your feelings. So many women feel this way especially when trying to find their own sister circle without compromising their morals or beliefs (Proverbs 13:20). 
There are several things that you can do in those times when those feelings of inadequacy or loneliness creep in. You can encourage yourself with the Word of God reminding yourself that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Remind yourself that you were created for greater. Pray and ask God to surround you with women who are not afraid to be different because they love the Lord and they allow that love to reflect in the way they live (Proverbs 18:24 and 1 Corinthians 15:33) . In times that we feel out of place or alone, we should get in the presence of God and seek His direction as He molds and shapes us into the women He created us to be (Ephesians 2:10).
How do you handle those moments when you realize certain things or even certain people are not right for you?
