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 was 20. I started university. Joined a theatre group and the newsletter group. We also organised the introductory weekend for the new students every year. Made a best friend and a whole group of other friends. That's after years of being bullied at school.

Sadly it only lasted a couple of years, then I got a toxic boyfriend who wrecked my social life through malicious gossip and mental abuse. He's still friends with that group, they literally turned their backs on me last time I saw them. It's been decades and I still miss them.
