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:

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

Welcome @DingoTsv , you're not alone. Welcome to the 'social'/'anti-social' club?? LOL

I don't like going out. I don't like social events. I don't like hanging around too many people.

Do you feel it negatively impacts your life? Do you want things to be different?

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

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

I can certainly relate to that @DingoTsv

Joining this community is a really great step in the right direction though, we have some great social spaces where we can connect and check in with each other, like Best Friends Club, where everyone is welcome

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

Definitely impacts, if not busy, I work from home too, so too much time spent in my own head.

Need to get out of my space.

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

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

Totally makes sense @DingoTsv .

Remember the COVID days? I was living in Melb so we had very very strict restrictions here. I live on my own, and I was working from home.

IN order to combat the isolation, I had a very strict routine to get me out and stay well.

I started with a walk each morning. I had 3 sit down (away from work) meals a day, I had an evening walk..

In retrospect, it was one of my healthiest times.

In the job I was in, I was always in meetings so that was a sort of 'social' side of things.

Do you like walks?

Oh, I have to admit, I'm not that 'good' anymore... I don't exercise or eat well, which I know is not good for my MH.
