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!

@heartathome What type of bipolar do you have? I have a cat. Not allowed to have dogs here sadly I would like that it would force me to go for a walk. Do you have pet(s)?

Thanks for sharing! Do you have any animals at home @Spiritmission6 Do you want to say your gender. Again, no need to answer! How long have you been on SANE? I have all these questions and I'm not even sure what I can ask on here. 🙃

Wow so many pets @Spiritmission6 I have just the one cat. There are a couple of blue tongue lizards in the garden and 2 brown snakes have been seen yikes. I’m always noisy when I go into the garden because I’m petrified of the snakes! One time at uni where I worked I almost trod on a brown snake! Sometimes I walk in a native gully up the road from my place. I’m always on the lookout for snakes there. Other times I walk along the beach, but at the moment we have an algal bloom in SA and it makes you cough, so I haven’t been down the beach lately. Now the weather has improved I like to walk everyday.

I’m not very good with technology either @heartathome , but when I tried to load the message it told me how to email moderators. It is ok now.

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

@GezzaP now that you say that im petrified of brown snakes we get them quite often in the warm weather. I enjoy walking but haven't been for a while because of my anxiety
