Too much too soon?

[Friendless]

Hi I'm new and known as friendless

I feel I may have revealed too much of myself on the notifications and replies. Maybe I misunderstood this site. Or am feeling friendless for a reason.

Why do you feel that way?? Just reveal what you feel comfortable with. We won't judge you. We all can relate. That's why we are here.

I'll put in my two cents if it's helpful (hopefully)- I felt I revealed too much of myself in a comment, and a site member then lectured me on what I should and shouldn't have done in a past situation. Apparently if someone is really nasty, you should report (it didn't get to that level yet), so I just deleted my own comment. (But I don't judge you, as the majority of the members don't)

You've got friends, right here The best way to make friendships stronger is to slowly open up a little. Whatever you're comfortable with! Maybe start with low-key sharing like, do you have pets? What kind of music do you like? Do you have a hobby? Favorite movies/books? Welcome!

Thanks for the advice Calm mama.

How about a small group of people who would be willing to be your friends. My new chatline has 8 very nice people on it from this site. It's on my pm and pretty secure. It's called, 'Circle Of Friends 4'. I call it that for a reason. You can discuss anything you want with other people that are new here just like you. You would be member #9. The chatline is free, runs 24/7 and nothing you say will go beyond the group itself. All I have to do is add your username and when the chatline is in session your chat button (top right of your screen) will light up. Tap it and you go directly to the sight. Chime in by writing a message in the message box and tapping the blue 'send' button. Repeat as desired. You can also simply read what the others are saying to get a feel for the group. If you like that, there are busier chatlines you might like. As usual, it's up to you, though!

Hi I am sure you haven't revealed too much about yourself but if you want more privacy it's a good idea to lock your posts to 'Community Only' rather than leave it open where your posts and all the replies can appear in full anywhere on the net. To amend this click on the 'more' button under your post and amend. x

Aww..im sorry you feel that way. We are here to help and comfort each other.

Please dont be insecure about us. We all have insecurities and it's OK. Nobody is perfect. The site is about talking about your feelings and venting. It's about connecting w others on an emotional level. It's such a great thing.

Talk to that insecurity in your mind and calm it down. Please dont beat yourself over this.

You're not alone.

Being friendless must be a theme with those with our issues. I can honestly say that I am without friends as well and I have a very public job helping people succeed in life. I tell others that I have no friends and they can't believe it! This is an appropriate site for you to share your feelings.

As seen in previous replies, this is a very supportive site. We are not here to judge but to support. Many of us are friendless and it's hard to find new friends especially if you are older. Perhaps there is a community group near you or check out if there are social clubs in your area. There are also church groups but if you are not the religious type, this option may not appeal to you. I think JEG325's offer may help you out as well. Lots of us in the same boat, so don't be shy to continue reaching out to us. Hang in there!

[Friendless in reply to B4andafter]

Will do!
