Your anger and loneliness are probably not the same thing as double-mindedness.
A double-minded person is always thinking about and calculating the easy way for himself, who he can double-cross profitably, and what is best for him regardless of morality and honesty. The Proverbs of the Old Testament are prettty direct about this vice.
You, on the other hand, are somewhat alienated and afraid of being even lonelier -- and that's probably not double-mindedness.

He lives by a double standard.
Outwardly condemning others and living secretly in sin.
It does not sound like you are double-minded.
More like frustrated by not being understood, and perhaps a bit paranoid about losing your friends.
This too shall pass.

A double minded person is someone who says one thing but does another thing. They have no definite boundries. They will fall for anything.
Being angry with yourself is normal to some degree. However, if it persists, you should speak face to face with a caring adult or a professional about your fears and concerns. Best wishes

Of everyone who answered your question, Chokolate Chip is the only one who is correct!
A double minded man is someone who has not made a DECISION as to something. In other words, he doesn't know what he wants.
When someone KNOWS what they want, they will ask God for it in faith, because they are absolutely confident of that thing that they are asking him for. God can work with someone who knows what he wants. As long as you are not clear on what you want in different situations, you don't have a faithfilled, fervent prayer. Nor the determination to go after it.

A double minded man is unstable because one day he wants to serve the Lord and the next he wants to do something that he shouldn't. One day he prays and talks to God the next day nothing.

Double mindedness is the prevalent mindset of our day. It's the idea that Jesus is just one of many ways to be saved. The truth is that only Jesus, by virtue of Calvary and the Resurrection, is the Savior.

A double minded person; sometimes follows the law of God, sometimes follows the world.
look for passages about single hearted people, or single minded, or single eyed people.
Don't be afraid about people, if they are Christian they will always be your friend. And besides, you can have the best of friends; Jesus.

A double minded person says one thing, but does another. Specifically, they say the believe in God, but they ignore his commandments. They're hypocrites.

They are unstable because you don't know if they are for you or against you. You can't depend on them. Double-minded people are indecisive.
