Anyone who knows you from the forum would have a hard time relating to the idea of you not having anything contribute @Zoe7! You need to channel your online self in the offline world!

Thanks @Pinky Very unexpected.
Considering that I was scared to speak to her.
I was convinced that she was ignoring the 5m long hole in the fence (mostly on the ground).
In fact, my neighbour wanted to replace the fence (with a new one) - as much as I did.
We paid half each.

Thank you @suzanne - that is very kind of you to say. Maybe this group will be something I can contribute to in the offline world - will have to wait and see.
I think that getting 'shutdown' for most of my life has had a significant impact on me forming relationships and thinking I have anything to contribute in the offline world - self- confidence and self-worth are such huge things.

Re: Topic Tuesday // Exploring Loneliness // Tues 18 Sep, 7pm AEDT
@Adge It's so daunting to make the first step in communicating. My bestfriend of 8 years ignored me completely the first time we spoke. I later found out that she lives herself with similar mental health struggles.
Definitely comes back to the projection of potentially negative thoughts/feelings/fears onto others, unfortunately a very ingrained mechanism of loneliness and mental illness. I hope your friendship stays strong x

@Zoe7 you now are in the perfect position to test my fav theory that confidence built through online connections can carry-over!
Ooops. Sorry, just realised how much pressure that's creating! Sorry. Scratch that thought entirely. You'll have enough on your plate without dragging a theory around with you.
So, final thought on this, yourself is a lovely thing. Just take that.

I've gotta go get dinner. Thanks @suzanne and everyone else for tonight's discussion! I really enjoyed my first Tuesday Topic. I feel a little less lonely after this! 🙂
I hope everyone has a great week!
