Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Here's today's newest forumites:

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hello!

Thanks for the warm welcome, and hello everyone else who’s new too.

I joined as I’m going through a very lonely period in life right now. I have no family and only a couple of friends but they live in another town and they are busy with kids and family etc.

The feeling of isolation and loneliness is depressing. I’m sure those feelings unfortunately aren’t unique to many of us here.

However I’m grateful there is a community here, and hope at the very least we can all feel that there are people here who do understand and are reading your posts and resonate with the feelings we share.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

hey @Jellybeans25 i think a lot of us (myself included) can relate to the feeling of loneliness. a lot of my single friends are in relationships now, and even though i know i can reach out to them anytime, it still feels a bit different now.

so glad you've joined our community, it's lovely to have you here - if you have any questions, feel free to reach out 💙

@Jellybeans25

Welcome to the forums. I find my connections here on the forums helped with my past feelings of loneliness. I love the community we have here.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Thank you! 🙂

Oh absolutely, that dynamic certainly can emphasise the feelings of isolation. I’m starting to learn that there’s strength in being alone, and embracing single-hood as a superpower for how independent and strong we are!

Knowing that still doesn’t take away from the waves of utter loneliness that create physical pangs of sadness and other emotions.

This seems like a great community 🙏💖

Thank you for the welcome @Oaktree.

That is lovely to hear the forums have helped you in times of loneliness.
