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!

Hi @Ru-bee

Lost52 here and as you can tell by my user name, I am 52yrs of age and am Lost!

I have more than half a dozen physical ailments, several mental, eg: chronic depression, anxiety + more.

I also care for a family member.

I am a dedicated cat lover. One day I would love to have a huge cat sanctuary. There is a cat sanctuary in USA called Cats on the King, I would love to do the same here in South Australia. The only reason I am still on this earth is because of my family, my sybling and my kids (cats) who are my children. They are my life. Are there any other cat lovers here? Do you also believe they are angels here to love and protect us? I am so very grateful to have my family but I still get lonely and feel alone. I have many interests/hobbies and likes so if you want to chat, I'm here. I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community (asexual) I don't like physical intimacy, holding hands or hugs only. My sibling is gay so if anyone here is part of the community please feel free to talk to me. I have never met anyone who is also asexual to chat to, I feel like the odd person out. My sibling and I and my kids (cats) live like hermits, no friends or anyone to talk to, isolated mostly from society, except for necessary trips. I am being vague when talking about my family as I need to keep my anonymity. I trust no-one at all. I know this adds to being lonely and alone but it has to be this way. I am easy to talk to and I do care about nice people. I am just tired of fake friends and family. To anyone who reads this I hope you are well and having a great day, to those who are not in a good place at the moment, I hope things get better.💞

Hi @Lost52

I'm pretty new to this too. The people here are lovely. You'll find that your stories have much in common with the rest of us.
