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 @Zoe8

Like @heartathome suggested we can tag you on social threads if you would like to be brought into those conversations. I know it can feel a bit daunting to jump into conversations, but everyone is welcome.

You can also always start your own thread if there's a specific topic you'd like to talk about. Here a few guides on how to do that and tips on navigating the forums 🙂

Creating your first thread – A guide for new mem... - SANE Forums

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

I love snorkelling (The feeling of weightlessness in the water is great for when I need to destress temporarily) and swimming.

I also enjoy Mountain Biking. Recently purchased an Enduro mountain bike. Dual suspension, ebike.

However, I have a broken toe, so im caving at home playing games and listening to music for 6 weeks. Kinda getting really frustrated and lonely.

Once I have recovered, I indend of hitting the water ASAP the day im allowed to 🙂

Music is kinda my way of removing myself from the world. Closing my eyes and laying down sometimes is really soothing.

I dont know how to overcome loneliness and negative thoughts, but i have ways of taking the edge off occasionally.

Xmas is going to be hard though.

Are there any online zoom recovery meetings

Hey @Zoe8

Sadly no, this forum is all about anonymity. There are online events and there may be even be face to face meets in your city.

Best thing is to google it.

@Stryk3r83 hoping for a fast recovery for you!

Movement is key for me in daily life so I understand how being out of action can have a big impact.

Can you get along to any music events? There is a ton of stuff going on around the county.

Methods to take the edge off are useful, as long as they are healthy.

Meditation, reading, journalling, chores around the house (I've been filling and sanding plaster over the last few weeks for painting).

Your weightlessness comment around snorkelling made me think of roller coasters and sky diving 🤣
