The not fine club

[Wakeboarder24]

wouldn’t this be a hit. A club where you could be not fine. You’re upset because someone wronged you. You are stuck because you are in a depression. You are scared because something coming up makes you uncomfortable. You’re lonely because you love too hard. You feel uncomfortable about your appearance because because your gut tells you so. We need this kind of club and a way to deal with these things.

[Ellamaye]

I'll join the club lol .

[Wakeboarder24 in reply to Ellamaye]

It was a bit your idea that made me think it should be a post.

[Ellamaye in reply to Wakeboarder24]

I was going to mention that but not sure my joviality would have come across in the written word. 🤣 without inotation lol x

[Ellamaye]

Intonation even *

Attached to the club house is a Bar & Grill called “The Not Fine & Dine”

I hate clubs. No, to be precise, I hate night clubs—and just feel tremendously uncomfortable in "normal" clubs, like, say, chess club.

I have so much social anxiety that I am unable to interact normally with other people. I realize it's a joke, Wakeboarder24, but even in a club like the one you describe, I would feel odd and "not at my place" despite being obviously a perfect match.

More seriously, that's what makes me stay away from group therapies. Does anyone have some experience to share in that matter?

[Wakeboarder24 in reply to Sylvain-]

I wasn’t going to set one up. I was just posting my thoughts.

[IncognitoC]

we are all in the club you described. A club where we all chat yet we don’t know each other’s names. We help each other yet we don’t know what we look like. The online anonymity club

[Margaret_712]

Yes! This is such a great idea! I posted a few weeks ago about a similar idea, and I love this! A place to go where you can just be real and it's totally welcome. No witty banter needed! Just a gentle space to be a bit off your game. Or a lot. I feel like with our growing mental health crisis, these should be on every corner, like Starbucks!

[Isinatra]

This is exactly the club you’re looking for. Open 24 hours, no cover, no last call and we all have a lot in common to share. Only draw back is that you have to furnish your own snacks and drinks.

[fauxartist in reply to Isinatra]

I know!....what the issue is about a club escapes me....this is a place where like you said, where we are anonymous....you can be open and honest, be kind...be helpful, and no cover charge.

[Isinatra in reply to fauxartist]

We are a community inside a huge website, and not technically a club, but membership is required with what the poster, I thought, was asking for. I guess I’m just kind of repeating what you said. (I’m a bit tired today. Please excuse)

[fauxartist in reply to Isinatra]

Yeah....I hear ya.... I'm tired too.... stupid Long Covid..... I'd love to be running around like I used to....now it's an effort making a cup of coffee.... be well my friend.

[Isinatra in reply to fauxartist]

Cheers, my friend…☕️☕️☺️

[Panchero]

I’d definitely join that! I think it would be super inspiring and helpful for so many people. Also, what if it was a global/worldwide program! It would be a huge life changer.

[Wakeboarder24]

How about a club where men could cry and not be called a pussy or selfish. Just that guy is experiencing some feeling and he is gonna work himself out of it. Instead of going to anger and acting like men do in a bar.

[Isinatra]

What bouncers? Lol

[Dolphin14]

What bouncers

🐬

[mizzou7016 in reply to Dolphin14]

I'll be the bouncer.....I definitely can tell war stories

[Wakeboarder24 in reply to mizzou7016]

Here for it!

[Dolphin14 in reply to mizzou7016]

Haha!

You got my vote

🐬

[Dolphin14]

You haven't been here that long have you seen and reported disruptive members. We did have one last week? I remember letting you know they had been removed by admin

Our " bouncers" lol ... I love it, work hard to keep the place safe. You would be amazed how many people are removed. You would also be amazed at how many keep coming back after being removed.

The ones that get banned and come back are the most annoying I think.

I give the bouncers a high five for doing their jobs

[MadBunny in reply to Dolphin14]

I agree- they do a wonderful job.

[Dolphin14]

Please don't be sorry. I was just trying to point out that we do work as a team to keep things as safe as possible.

Not hearing back doesn't mean they didn't look at things and take action.

It must be frustrating to feel you aren't being heard. I'm sorry that has been your experience

[Sillysausage234]

They’ve got great reviews on trustpilot if you look

[hypercat54 in reply to Sillysausage234]

And other review sites too....

[Sillysausage234 in reply to hypercat54]

I only look on trustpilot ….I review lots of online stuff,trustpilot always accept them ,Amazon politely refused my review for natural senna 75 mg

[Wakeboarder24]

this is a idealization. I’m not putting action into it. Maybe some day things will be this way.

[Perriex]

This is an amazing hypothetical idea.🥰⭐️👍

[LoveforAll41]

I went to an inpatient treatment center and we were all this way cuz, heck, you're in a treatment center. I also really enjoyed the Emotions Anonymous group, a 12 step program for accepting emotions and being okay feeling all sorts of ways. Support is so important!

[Perriex in reply to LoveforAll41]

Can you share a bit more about the Emotions group? Thanks.

[LoveforAll41 in reply to Perriex]

Yes, they have a website at emotionsanonymous.org. I really like just reading through their handbook too. I think it goes along with acceptance therapy. I haven't tried joining a group as life is really busy outside of treatment, but they have their meetings and stuff posted on the site.

[Perriex]

Thank you so much!

[hypercat54]

I'm not arguing but just pointing out realities.

[fauxartist]

Exactly.... I don't get the post .... what's the point... this place is already all those things unless the poster feels they are oppressed and need to start their own site....then they surely can do that.... and anyone who isn't happy here can join up..... otherwise, all are welcome here, and like Hypercat said....the guidelines and rules help to keep out the trolls and people who come on to catfish.

[Wakeboarder24 in reply to fauxartist]

I think you misunderstood me. I have no problem with health unlocked.

[fauxartist in reply to Wakeboarder24]

I guess I don't understand the post....but that's okay...I don't understand a lot of things said.... as long as there is peace.... it's all good.
