RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- 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
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

My old friend actually reached out to me in a dark time when I needed it the most. I'm so lucky to have her back as a friend in my life. My former long term partner was a very jealous woman and never explicitly told me I couldn't have friends who were women, but would guilt trip me and act like I was going to leave her for them all the time. So I unintentionally fell out of touch with a lot of my friends. I feel really loved knowing my friend missed me and wanted to reach out and cared about how I was doing after barely speaking in ten years. It means so much to me, and I would have never had the courage to reach out to her because I felt like a bad friend who bailed on her for a controlling partner!
