I am extremely new and very green haha
I've always had trouble making friends and keeping friends and never knowing why then bam it all starts to make sense once you get diagnosed phew
Not that I'm anywhere near where I need to be but just researching and trying to learn more and reach out for support from other like minded people.
If your interested in chatting or friends I'm sometimes a good socialist haha

Love "I'm sometimes a good socialist haha" @Thejps
My feet and roots were there, and now my long limbs sway in the various breezes like a tree. Important these days to have a sense of humour about realpolitik or we will go as mad as the world.

Hi @Thejps , I agree with @Appleblossom : "I'm sometimes a good socialist". I'm not even sure what a 'Socialist' is (politics does my head in, the same as mental health) but I guess having friends would require being social, to a degree.

So good to have a chuckle about politics @Thejps @justanotherguy For me the serious leftie factions used to argue at the caf. Not sure they were being very social with each other, already divided into tribes, Lenin, Trotsky yada yada.
