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!

My life is like a black hole, although I do occasionally see stars.

Hopefully you have some positive moments ahead in life!

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

I grew up in a really bad way. Homeless, mental health issues..

Now I have my own place, and a lovely rescue cat named Ripley.

I dont get out much and have BPD.

I have limited.family and only 1 friend/support, but in some ways im content.

My life is slowly improving.

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

Thanks for making contact. I reckon we isolate ourselves for self protection and it is hard to motivate myself to be with other people when I should.

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

Oh wow, thank you so much for sharing this @Stryk3r83.

I can hear you have been through so much, but that you've been able to connect with little Ripley and your friend for support. It's really lovely to hear that your life is slowly improving.

What would you like to get from your time on the forums? 💛

Welcome @Jane351 💖

Yes! We can definitely isolate ourselves for protection, can't we?

Maybe being here could be a way to slowly reconnect when you're feeling that way?

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

I'd.love to find people that I could relate to, maybe learn how they deal with situations that I find extremely difficult.

Not sure.

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

Yes! That's a great idea. Maybe I can tag you in some threads? What is the main theme you'd like to explore? @Stryk3r83

Also, please type @ and then my name so I don't miss your messages! ✨
