Do you fit in at your parish?

That's the most burger thing I ever heard about.

No i dont fit in. Everyone is friendly but theyre all my grandparents age and only care to make small talk. Every church ive been to is like that so i eventually quit going.

Tried out some normie non-denom groups on campus and actually got laughed at for asking if it was the place, so i 360ed and walked away.

I kinda fit in at my church. The priest is a really friendly guy and I'll usually strike up some small talk with him after mass or if I see him at the chapel whenever I'm doing something there. As for the rest of the laity, there's only a couple that I'm close with, two of whom are in my fraternity. Most of the guys are kinda weird and not really a crowd that I can relate to, most of the girls are the same or worse. Whenever I go there for events and things I'll find myself sitting around awkwardly with nobody to talk to unless one of the 5 or 6 normal people I'm close with are there.

Sure, I do. I'm Christian, they're all Christian. All are one in Christ Jesus, so yes, I fit in.

Yes. We have lots of physically or mentally disabled people, as well as ill people, and pretty much everyone under 30 is in university or an engineer. When nobody fits in, everyone fits in, right?

I have a similar feeling, been going to my nearby church, hasn't been since long, but it being pretty hard getting a feeling for community, I'd say 75% are senile old lonely ladies, 20% are established adults, either going through a hard phase or established family pregnant or with kids, the last 5% I'd imagine is the real youth.
Sunday is the only day where a lot more people congregated, I still go on some weekdays as well, it makes me feel well, but there is just a handful of people, mostly the senile ones, so the priest call us all up close to pray together.
So even then, the only handful of young people that partake in the choir group, feels like most are fresh young 18 boys and girls, since I'm a 30 yo neet still not established young adult, its hard for to feel part of.
Even then there is just one cute girl that calls my attention, I feel she looking at me from time to time, and she is always partaking in church activities, helping with the service and whatnot. Still I would feel bad to make it look like I'm just there because of her.

For that reason, I"m looking into going to some protestant churches for the sole reason to check out their youth groups. Is that bad?

I think you might be to old for youth group tbh

I guess so. Well I was born there. I know most priests, but the only people I get along there are my family members.
The only girls in my parish are over 70 years old so that's a no go and the ones about my age in the village are already pregnant with bastard sons.
t. Catholic.

PS: those whores of course don't go to church since their 14 years old and even so only when the catechist made them to.

I go to a traditional/liturgical LCMS church and there are no single women between 18-29. It's all boomers and families with young kids. Wonderful people, but no wife material. I live in a place where the majority of Christians are katholisch to be fair though.
