Re: What's your favourite kind of tea?
@ebyrne556 Not a fan of tea at the moment but it's one of those things I do want to like. The closest for me is iced coffee/hot chocolate depending on the weather. I've never tried boba but there have been so many shops/stalls opening near me. I'm interested in it but the idea of the bubbles kind of scares me even though that's the main selling point 😅
Re: What's your favourite kind of tea?
In incredibly un-british fashion - i just don't like tea (i promise i'm british)
I have tried to get behind it several times but I just can't to be honest. Although in general the closest I'm getting to a hot drink is probably a hot chocolate 😂

Re: Britains Got Talent
@ebyrne556 I don't really watch it anymore but when I did watch it I mostly just enjoyed the banter between Ant and Dec!
I think it's off air now but I actually preferred Steven Mulhern's aftershow thing Britain's Got More Talent
I watched the SU2C Great Brittish Bake Off recently which was pretty good but I only knew Joe Locke!

Re: Rebuilding Bridges that I Burnt by Accident
Hey @Radical I really appreciate you sharing this with this with the community. It takes a lot of strength to be this vulnerable and honest. I can hear how much you want to make this right for yourself and this person.
Here is something which has stood out to the me most in your message- you clearly care a lot about this person, and even though things didn't go the way you'd hoped, you're still taking responsibility for your actions, which is really great. It's also completely understandable that you'd be feeling so anxious and confused after all this time.
Although it might be difficult, it sounds to me that the best way to show respect now is to continue to give her space, even on the other account. This is the best way to show her that you respect her boundaries and needs You mentioned seeking help for your mental health in the past, which is really positive. I am hearing that this situation seems to be triggering some old anxieties it might be worth thinking about talking someone again to help manage this specific stress and moving forward in a healthy way.
I also really want to zoom in on self-forgiveness here. It sounds like you were in a really tricky place with your mental health and the thing that matters now is that you've apologised and sound really self aware of what happened and why. Not feeling great about doing something out of character is healthy and natural but there comes a point where self compassion is important for moving on. You deserve to be happy and accepting of yourself How does that sound for you?
I wonder if focusing your energy on building friendships with people who are currently available and open to connecting with you is the healthiest path forward? You really do deserve positive connections, and I am sure there are people out there who would love to get to know you.
It might take some time, but with some self-compassion and effort, you can definitely move past this and build strong, healthy relationships in the future.
If you'd like to talk more about any of this, we are here for you.

Re: The truth about who I am
@Amy22 I've responded to one of your most recent posts but I thought I'd quickly respond to this one as well. You don't need to apologise for reaching out for support when you need it, we're all here for you and happy to help in any way we can
You do seem like a genuinely good person - you're extremely kind and caring and those are brilliant traits to have. It's completely natural to not like people, you just have to make sure you're treating people with decency, but you're never obliged to like someone "just because".
It's okay if you use the internet as a form of support, so long as you're comfortable asking for support in safe spaces I don't see anything wrong with it, I actually think it's a huge strength to ask for help when you need it!
It's also okay to use AI (generally), lots of people use it for a variety of reasons and so long as you're not using it for obscene/illegal reasons such as explicit images or for plagiarism, I think it's completely okay! It can be a really useful tool.
I hope this has reassured you somewhat

Re: Acceptable sayings
@ellie2000 I think it's fine for you to describe an individual's appearance where you don't know their name to someone else that might know them, who is able to tell you their name or where the person's appearance is relevant in conversation
So long as you're respectful in how you describe the person I don't see anything wrong with it
If it someone you know but you can't remember their name you could see if you could get a chance to ask them when you see them next

Re: Who are you voting for in the next general election?
I`m old enough to vote but I haven`t actually gotten around to registering and tbh I don`t understand most of the politics stuff.

Re: Who are you voting for in the next general election?
SNP isn’t an option but they’re probably the best out of a bad bunch if you’re Scottish
