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:

Group zoom. Managed to get into it by sheer luck. I'll need to learn how to use it before the next session.

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

Thanks, signed up months ago, looking through the chats again now, because I'm feeling very weighed down by depression and pressures from society/government expectations and how I parent etc. Also because of Father's Day yesterday and I lost my father to MND a few months ago 💔 I hate life right now 🥺

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

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a difficult time at the moment @Sad_Tree but I'm glad that you've been able to connect here

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father, I can only imagine how hard yesterday would have been.

With you looking over the forums, what do you feel would be the most helpful for you here? Some members are looking to hear from others who have been through similar experiences, or to get some guidance or advice for a situation, while others just find connecting to be the most helpful. Do any of those feel like they would be helpful for you?

Hi @Ru-bee,

Thanks for stopping by to say hi — it’s lovely to e-meet you here. I just joined the community this week, and it’s been nice to see your message.

This week I’ve enjoyed getting back into bush walking, and today I felt glad to catch up with a friend. How has your week been?

Hi @RebelliousAngel and everyone— nice to e-meet you. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

@rav3n Hey, my evening hasn't been too bad although I'm glad it's started to cool down a bit 😄. How are you going?

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

Hi @RebelliousAngel

I was just wondering to myself how you can be rebellious and an Angel at the same time.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
