Hi there,
I remember feeling like that when I first got here. I felt like I'd never get to know anyone, no one would ever get to know me and furthermore, I was convinced that it would be impossible to make friends here. And I also remember people talking to each other like they WERE friends and I felt even more left out.

Alexandra gave me some excellent advice. The more you post in support of others, the more people have a chance to get to know you and the more likely they are to post responses back to you. So, that's what I did. I just started posting my arse off and I think a few folks here feel like they know me. I'm sure as IRL some folks here like me and some don't. I certainly have much respect and love for the folks that I have gotten to know here, and I feel privileged to call them friend.

It takes time to get to know people IRL and here as well.

Hang in there!


Best,
Okie
