Re: Hello! Community Officer
hello @Verity - it's lovely to meet you and have you here with us 
Re: wanting a significant other
hey @toffuna101 hope you're doing okay this morning.
those are perfectly normal thoughts to have - even if we aren't ready to actually get into relationships, it can be good to think about the type of partner we would want, the qualities we would look for etc. And there's no harm at all in a daydream about it - I know i've done it in the past plentyyyyy of times too

@so_very_tired it might be hard but dont be so harsh on yourself mate, you made a mistake we all do it and people have done way worse. You said you didn't intend to come across how you did too, you were trying to help, you have apologised, taken responsibility, thats all you can do. You're accepting it was wrong. We are a forgiving community. I've said not the best things here myself at times but Ive been forgiven. Im sorry to hear that you’re deleting your account, we will miss you as I said but we respect your decision and if you wanted to pop back in the future you'll be welcome to. Please remember whatever you have said or done, you are worthy.

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 03.11.25
@so_very_tired I’m so sorry to hear things have been so difficult for you lately, and I think, for what its worth, that every single person here will be able to acknowledge that things sometimes get said that shouldn’t be said when we’re feeling like shit. I’ve done it too, as have most people here.
While I did feel irritated by some things you have said, it’s not a grudge I’m prepared to hold - you are still very much welcome here and I don’t think anyone intended to make you feel you weren’t. I think what happened was, you had been saying some things that had made people feel dismissed, and eventually it became too much and they felt they had to say something to you. The thing is, if these things aren’t communicated, it just builds up and builds up, and people eventually snap.
I really feel you are capable of positive change and, if you did feel you wanted to stick around, we would support you in that. You deserve to be supported as much as the next person, and no one would want you to be isolated in such a hard time.
When you’re in a space full of people from different walks of life, there are bound to be disagreements and personality clashes in some places, and that’s normal. It doesn’t mean you have to leave, but at the same time, people might feel in their own mind that they need to call it out, and that’s ok too so long as it’s done respectfully (which here, i think it was). It’s not a sign from the universe, it’s part of interacting with other people online in particular.

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 03.11.25
im rly having a difficult day. i know it’s only 11am.. but im rly not in a gd mindset. my brain is filled with so much shit it rly is tricky.
. i wish i could go back to sleep for a few hours but i cant.
Hey @eylah, I know the feeling and I'm sorry you're feeling down today. I know it sounds kind of clichéd but it's okay to not be okay. I'm here for you and I'll always listen if you want to talk about anything at all
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? (Triggering stuff edition) w/c 03.11.25
@Mai ugh sounds like your classic crisis team. I really do think they should offer more text based options, as so many people struggle talking over the phone about feelings, it feels a bit intense having to do that. I hope you’re feeling a bit better since sunday but we’re all here to chat if you did want to talk about anything
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 03.11.25
im listening to christmas songs.. 🤣
@eylah It's never too early for christmas songs - I start listening to them as soon as summer ends 😌 I love your new profile picture btw, it's absolutely adorable
