Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I got dumped last year and I found it a bit tough. Since then I've been working on getting sober for long enough to really be able to work on myself, with a view to decide whether I want to stay sober or whether I want to go back to it.

I don't really want to risk anything during this time. I miss dating a lot, I love being with somebody and getting to know someone who means a lot to me, but I just don't think I'd be great to date right now and I am struggling to trust people easily since the breakup anyhow.

I'll get there, though. And when I'm ready, I hope I'll have more to offer than I've ever had before!
