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:

@Jynx I’ll take those over unknown blues!

I like to draw but I’m working on a finicky project that I can do with my nails on very well. Just waiting for my mum to get home in all honesty, want a cuddle and some company!

@Shaz51 not to good having a bad time can't seem to shake the bad thoughts and focus on the good just can't get out behind the darkness

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

hey @Me2024 sorry to hear that you're struggling with some dark thoughts, that must be hard blocking them away. are there any strategies that have helped you in the past? like for me, journalling helps focus those thoughts and write it out helps me release them - do you have something similar?

Bunnings is definitely my favourite place! I bought a lavender plant today.

I'm not working at the moment either but am hoping to soon. Hence the reading and gardening and spending time with my dog and parents.

I'm sorry to hear that your dog passed away. The greatest injustice in this world is that animals don't live as long as humans. I have a golden retriever.
