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:

Welcome @Clay_artist !

It's great to have you with us. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. At the same time, I can hear how isolating it can be at times. I'm sorry anxiety comes into it too.

What are things you enjoy doing? Would you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert?

I remember when I was going through a very dark and lonely time, these forums helped me to connect with people and feel a sense of belonging. I hope you find yourself feeling less alone as you connect with others @Clay_artist

And let me guess, are you a Clay artist???

See you around!

Hello @Clay_artist and welcome 🙂

Just having four children is challenging! And I am sorry to hear about your husband. It is difficult to navigate something like this and will inevitably have an impact on you.

Have you dealt with anxiety before?

@Clay_artist

Welcome to the forums.

Anxiety is so horrible to try and deal with. I hope you find some support here.

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

Hi @Titch1 Welcome! I'm glad you've found your way on to the forum! I've only been on for about three months and am finding it very supportive, understanding and caring! It took me a while to get the hang of it and find my way around! My thought at the beginning was well, if nothing else, it'll help me learn to type faster! 😂
