I've been really isolated for a few years freeing myself from addiction. I lost most of my friends so as not to be influenced. I'm free of addiction but now i feel so socially awkward and out of touch and dont know where i fit in anymore. I'm trying hard to make an effort in making friends but feels like i'm making things worse. Am I trying too hard? not hard enough? i don't know what i'm doing wrong or right. Any advice would be much appreciated. |

Bigsy concentrate on being bigsy and living the best life you can and let everyone else do the self’s and if friendship comes your way on life’s path then great and if not just watch Netflix’s!!!!
Best of luck and keep that head up.

"It's great you are joining in on the forums, especially the games thread. Keep it up !"
I had a suspicion i'd hear from you SallySlinky wasn't sure it would be positive feedback though (take no offense). That means so much to me SallySlinky because I really look up to you, your a strong opinionated woman and you speak your mind. thanks again SallySlinky,  really thanks. |

Hey...good on you OP for over coming your addiction..not an easy thing to do but you have so well done. Just be you and keep on chatting...loads of guys on here don't get meets...its just the nature of this site, keep using Fab as a social site...I've done just this during covid, you never know you may get a meet...Good luck OP and hugs to you  |

Thankyou. The site isn't that harsh i mean the hard part has been the isolation for the last x amount of years especially as before that i was really outgoing with lots of friends. I forgot how to interact and even had a stutter develop and still often say things before thinking properly. Its Really not about the meets either I'm so used to not getting replies to p.m's i'm not assed, but i do get upset when i make a dick of myself in forum. Suppose I'm saying i'm an attention seeker in a roundabout way.  but cheers means a lot. |

If you've never made a dick of yourself in the forum then what are you even doing?
Surely that's what the forum is for? 
Its tough trying to fit in here but as long as it's entertaining you rather than stressing you out then you're doing fine. |

Well domne to you. You may be trying too hard but that would be understandable given what you've been through. Maybe you're just thinking too much and you need to just take the pressure off yourself. I know that's easier said than done but don't beat yourself up and best of luck. |

Well done for overcoming your struggle with addiction.
I thought your profile was great. You sound really genuine. If that's how you are in real life, then you should be ok.
Just be yourself, be respectful, kind and interested in other people. You won't go far wrong.
I hope that's ok. I dont have any mates myself. So I'm not the best person to get advice from, as I'm also struggling. But that's what I look for anyway.
All the best. |
