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!

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

Not big on fun facts, I'm afraid. I do lead a fairly dull life. I have had a few months of high stress and I am seeing a therapist, and I am trying to connect with more people through various forums, including this

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

That's exactly how I feel whenever I'm trying to think of a fun fact about myself @Indigo_ 😅

Great to see you're working on connection here, it's a pretty brave thing to reach out and connect with others so good on you!

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

Hehe I feel you @Indigo_ never been a fan of 'fun facts' - whenever asked, it's like I forget everything about myself hahaha. Maybe a better question is, 'What are you passionate about?'

Hope you find some good connections here!

Hi hope you’re doing well.

New to this forum and impressed with how kind and professional it looks, must have been a lot of effort from everyone involved, I appreciate it 🙂

I’ve only ever posted on a mens fashion advice forum, so please let me know when I’m being triggering or not doing it right.

What I know about from experience in regards to mental health is anorexia and depression, I also know about bipolar disorder from the outside through my brother.

Hoping to find someone that has experienced some form of anorexia and would like to share their experience and understanding of what it still does to your mind.

For me it’s been about 20 years since I was in the thick of it but I still find my mind playing tricks on me. I’m hoping to start RO-DBT(Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy) soon.


Hope that makes sense, would love to hear from you.

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

Hello!

I don't really know why I've looked into these things, but I've done it for a reason, and I'm going to take the chance.

I'm looking for connection. I have the worst relationship with my inner critic, and I feel speaking to like minded people can help me overcome the fear of connection. And hopefully will make my inner critic my number one fan!

I'm sorry if I'm not responsive. It takes me a while to process things. But I'm hoping to make connections, not only with others, but with myself as well.

Cheers to all of you. We are so brave!

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

True: the facts I can think of aren’t much fun - and the fun things are pretty much a fiction. I guess I am trying to make sense of the world and my part in it. What is truth and what is lies, and why either of them matters. Work out what baggage I’m lugging around and how I can divest myself of some of it. Figure out what is love and what is habit, and what I need to do for my future health both physical and mental
