Hi,
I have tried to engage yesterday on the Hello tread unsuccessfully. Are there ever people on this platform who wants to chat or am I using it incorrectly?
Maybe it is the season or time of day I need to get right.

@Oaktree
Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad to hear that you are doing better and found your stride. Keep up the good work, it is important to not to feel singled out when life gets tough, to remain hopeful, and to reach out if stuff gets too hard.
I am wondering if anyone else would have any input or wisdom to offer regarding my path seeking and philosophical questions.
I have good qualifications, 20 years of corporate career behind me and sound physiological functioning. Still, I am being rejected, ignored and ghosted.
Sorry to bother,

Hi @lightseeker I'm sorry that you're not enjoying the forums so far, or that they're not meeting your needs.
I'm hearing that you have a lot of big questions and are seeking other's thoughts and opinions. With the forums being an a-synchronous space conversations tend to move at a slower pace, and often these philosophical questions may require members to take longer to consider an answer.
While you wait for the right members to find your post, and craft their thoughtful responses I might encourage you to browse the forums and provide some support yourself by posting in existing threads. Not only will this help to pass the time, but it can help to boost your sense of community and help you to start forming connections. I know that you're looking for a tribe and community, so perhaps this can help as a starting to point to feel that community here on the forums.
