lacking community

[sweetbraid]

Part of my recovery, I think, is going to be finding community. Does anyone wanna... try to be internet friends??? Hope you're well <3

Been thinking the same, if i'm to recover i need interaction. i can't risk it in real life. Maybe online is a start

Typing is a good start.
If you like games why don't try altspacevr?...yesterday i had a talk and cry with people with an avatar and a mic. They have parties, they used to have suicide talks, meditation, open mic, comedy...even weddings. You can hide behind objects or teleport if it is unconfortable.

PD:the avatars smile allllll the time

Hello everyone, my Pm is open to new friends if you wish, you are welcome.

That's a good idea and I think the most helpful thing, to have people that understand.
I don't know if a WhatsApp group or something similar would be something people would be open to? Or a discord channel?
If not you can DM me whenever you want

One of the biggest obstacles to friendships is distance. This is reduced by the Internet. However, another limit is time. Some may only be able to make brief contacts and not be free to move from the acquaintance to the friend category.

Also people can be fluid as their circumstances change. For example, a gal may find her friends do not have as much time for her when they get married.

It may be a good idea to invest in and receive whatever level of contact comes along. If brief, then welcome whatever exchange occurs with the time available. Close deep and lasting friendships are rare and all the more precious because of it. However, there are all sorts of other relationships that also have value.

A member started a convo with me yesterday, happened to be my favorite poster so I was very happy about it. Don't be afraid to hit people up and see, they'll be glad you did.

What helps me is getting involved with a community of people with interests, attitudes, outlooks on life similar to mine. I'm doing it right now. I find myself naturally leaning towards people I like, like some otherworldly power pushing me towards interaction. Resisting this force is tantamount to self-mutilation, so I don't feel like I even have the choice in the matter.

It seems every attempt I have made eventually, if not right away, falls apart and leaves me feeling worse off than before. I am trying to do this alone because I dare not risk another episode.
