Less and Less
It seems the more time i spend here the less i belong here.
I don't connect with people; Members or Staff.
I also don't feel I have anything to offer people here.
@Gettingbettertoday if ok to ask what makes it difficult to connect with other people for you here?
could people around help in someway to make you feel more comfortable here?
you deserve a place for support also and I hope you do find it sometime <3
@Optimisticempath
I go to the chats and people are talking about things i don't relate to and i feel like i shouldn't post because i would interrupt them.
@Gettingbettertoday irony or something but I really relate with this
I've felt misplaced in rooms so often also.. sometimes when people talk about other things or talk to only certain people... I know it feels so bad to be ignored like this and more discouraging to say anything in those chats where it seems like we are interrupting or something :/
its said around here that chatrooms are for everyone and everyone can talk or share also .. so like we won't really be interrupting anyone 😅 but I relate with the hesitation that comes
sometimes a hi or asking people how they are helps to build conversation too .. something I also try doing is welcome people who enter ... wouldn't want the next person to feel ignored and unwelcomed as me too :)
you deserve support too and I hope you do find some rooms and people to connect with more.
Havw you tried sharing circles? they offer uninterrupted space to share for 5 or 7 minutes and most people in the room are very kind and actually listen to those sharing :)
any room you wanna try or feel more comfortable in? there are also mindfulness discussions, 50 + discussions etc that offer a supportive place to everyone
@Optimisticempath
I have tried the sharing room. I didn't care for it. It like getting up before class and reading your report. It seems cold and i can do the same in the forums without waiting.
@Gettingbettertoday I see how it would feel that way :(
mhmm have you tried huddles? they are comparatively smaller groups of people and you get to meet same people regularly to talk with on a topic you want since these huddle groups have topics for them and we can choose from them :)
I hope this doesn't come across as a bother ... I just want to try and explore some available options with you if you're interested ofcourse... no worries if not.. I respect your feelings, experiences and choices.
@Gettingbettertoday im proud of you for trying and hope it is a better experience for you <3
@Gettingbettertoday I understand that you're feeling disconnected and unvalued in your current environment. Remember that feeling like you belong and connecting with others can take time and effort, and it's okay to experience these emotions in different situations. It's also crucial to remember that everyone has unique qualities and experiences to offer. Even if you may not feel like you have anything to contribute at the moment, don't underestimate your own worth. Take the time to explore your interests, strengths, and passions. Embrace your individuality and recognize that your perspective, experiences, and skills can provide a valuable contribution to any community or group.
@Gettingbettertoday
Why did you come here in the first place? What were you seeking and hoping to find?
@88Avocados
I came here looking for relief of the pain of my existence. I am not sure what i was expecting to find here.
