Hey Jen,
Well thats good that you want to go to church.
I'd have to advise first things first. If you really want to know where you should go to church, pray. God will show you where He wants you, where you belong, & where He can use you. I know, chuch shopping isn't a natural thing, so keep an open heart to WHATEVER He might say. He'll guide you. He knows your needs. Don't be in a rush either.
When you walk into a church, keep in mind every church is full of the same thing-SINNERS. No one's perfect, so don't get scared if the people seem to run up to you, or if they don't take notice of you.
When your ready to go, try to keep your eyes on the focal point of church-to worship God. And, no you don't sound like a snob. We're all different. It's natural to want to be in a comfortable place. In situations like that, it's a good idea to just sit back, watch the people, listen to what they are saying, & take your time getting to know them. Not that you shouldn't be yourself, but know enough about them not to say something that you know would offend them. Maybe try asking them "so, why do you beleive that?", during a conversation.
As for the friends part of it, just try to find common ground. Like "what brought you to this church?".
I hope this helps. I'll be praying for you.
P.S.When you pray, remember to beleive that God will answer you! Thats a very important part of prayer.
