Didgee, thanks for accepting my friend request- At least you have two friends that you can talk to. Yeah, people like us need to stick together as most people tend to not want to befriend people with mental health issues unless they have similar issues usually-

Sorry to hear that you don't have any way of connecting with other mushroom enthusiasts. That's great that you're no longer a victim of bullying! Yeah, people on-line can be horrible! Ironically, I find it easier to be friends with most people online as I tend to be more open and a little less anxious talking to most of them!

I'm usually a little nervous at first when meeting new people, ugh! Most people can tell that I'm shy which sucks! Thankfully I think that I found two new women that I might end up being friends with. One is from meetup and she's the organizer of a women's group. She's disabled, so she's limited in how often she can go out. She's really nice. Also, this other woman seems OK and supposedly she agreed to hang out with me again this Friday for the second time, but I haven't heard back from her yet.

Hopefully I will soon. I just hope that she's not another flake. Anyways, you and hvert should be friends as you both are into mushrooms. Having an on-line friend to talk to is better than not having any friends at all.
