*sits back down* I've been avoiding the forums because it feels like i'm not welcome there. Nobody pays attention to me, acknowledges me.. I can't help but feel everyone put me on mute when I was going through a difficult time, and now they just don't see me.
I miss being good at making friends :(
First , I like you so much! I think of you often and always wish you well ! I always jump over to read your posts when you post.
Second, I feel there's a certain amount of weirdness inherent in online communities that can sometimes activate social anxiety or feelings of not fitting in. At least that's what I experience.
I like Candace's advice of being persistent and red's advice of just checking in to see how others are doing. Sometimes I think we need to find our friendly corners, where we know we'll be welcome and start there!
I'm glad you posted here today !
