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!

Thankyou for the warm welcome also!

I'm eager to see how things go, this'll be my first time interacting with people going through similar struggles or rising above them so I'm hopeful!

It's lovely to meet you all ❤️

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

That sounds amazing! I actually wouldn't mind finding some threads about hobbies and interests I have too. Hmm.. I'm a bit of a gamer, although mostly single players or with friends/family, I love to write, draw and read and I do love a good movie/series. I also have an unhealthy obsession with lego and pokemon 😅

Hey @romanempress , How are you today? Great to see you.

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

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

Honestly not great. But I'm proud of myself for coming here and trying to move forward

Thank you for asking, and how are you

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

You're right @romanempress . It takes a lot of courage to reach out to an unknown community. Yet it can be a step in the right direction.

For me, this space was such an important step for me in my recovery. Things were hard, but just knowing there was a community out there who i'd be able to connect with, was so so helpful.

What are things that you enjoy, or things that keep you going?

From my end, I'm pretty okay. I'm interstate staying with family at the moment, but will be returning home to Melb in a week's time or something.

See you around @romanempress
