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:

We wouldn't have the community we do without their efforts and their passion! Feel free to reach out to them, they're always quite happy to help guide and support 😊

Hey @Ru-bee, thanks for the welcome and tag, much appreciated 😊. How’s your week going?

Mine has been okay, been a big week actually. Hoping for some quieter days ahead.

Have a good weekend everyone 🙏

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

Thanks my problems are not worth sharing tho I need to just man up and get on with it

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

Hey @Lostaz, I totally get this feeling of just needing to 'get over things', but sometimes we really do need to share, ask for support, and be held in our feelings. And it sounds like a part of you wants and knows this, because you've come here to sit with us. 🥰

There's no need to share before you're ready, but know that when you do, it will be recieved without judgement. - AuntGlow. ✨

I'm stuck in a huge internal battle with 2 clear sides and no good option I'm not comfortable sharing this battle publically but it's one that's destroying me both mentally and physically I'm keeping on for now outwardly but internally I'm a wreck

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

That's okay, you don't need to share more than what feels okay right now. Maybe chatting with a service like Blue Knot Foundation 1-1 could be helpful? They specialise in this and are the perfect place to start sharing. https://blueknot.org.au/

What I would love to know is if you are feeling safe right now with your thoughts and feelings? 💛

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

Good question, when I look in the mirror, I'm not sure what I see

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

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

I had a look I think it's better to leave that for someone with bigger troubles than mine it would be nice to speak to someone without judgement but that's just not an option for me I don't have anyone close.
