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:

We wouldn't have the community we do without their efforts and their passion! Feel free to reach out to them, they're always quite happy to help guide and support 😊

@Alittleorange I do miss my own space sometimes. I find that when I come home from going out I need to just relax on my own for a bit as I don't enjoy being around too many people at the moment.

I don't volunteer. Good on you for doing it.

ya pulingina from lutruwita/Tasmania guys 😁

Thanks for the deadly welcome intro.

I'm a loud and proud pakana (Tasmanian Aboriginal) trans man who's on a journey to support #lived experiences & the telling the truth regarding corporate misconduct.

I'm a domestic family violence specialist and I'm currently designing services and programs for my "multicultural men's business" healthcare line of products.

Thank you for listening 🤩

Hi rav3n 🤩

My Monday has been a bit slow today.

The weather has been dreadful and extremely windy unfortunately but other than that I'm all good 👍

How was your start to the week for a Monday?

Hi Magnoila,

love my space too, one of the reasons I remain single and live solo.

Am a happy dad though at the moment as my son has his first job out of Uni after 7 years study. Now he gets to taste the grind. I used to do 6o+ hours a week until health matters saw centrelink pension me off, do not miss those hours, or office politics, but there is a certain regularity and rhythm to work that is hard to replace.

how do you occupy yourself?

Hi I'm a BPD sufferer in south Australia

I have an amazing partner who tries to support me as much as he can but it's also hard for him. I'd love to hear from others that have similar experiences.

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

@Nanztaz yikesss hopefully the winds settle down! is it just me or does a slow day when the weather is a bit wild feel kind of right?

my monday was surprisingly busy (which is VERY rare for me), got some errands and appointments checked off, needed to buy a couple birthday gifts as well - 3 of my friends all have their birthday this week - still stuck on one more gift to buy (if you have any ideas let me know!)

also here's a lil tip - if you'd like to tag people, you can use @ and type in the username like this @Nanztaz - that way, the person you tag will get notified that you've responded to them!
