yeah
damn the s26 is now available to pre-order but im resisting to urge to get it as i already have the s25. and plus if i trade in my current phone ill only get £260 (this is from currys btw). thats a rip off. i dont get people who upgrade their phone every year.
Woah that is a rip off. I saw the s26 today, it apprently has privacy mode where no one else can see unless it's a straight angle, pretty cool.
yeah but thats only on the ultra, not on the regular s26.
Oh I thought it was the s26 too, hopefully in the near future it will be on all models
yeah same, if its on all of the s series models when they release the s27 next year then i might consider getting it because by 2027 ill get a job.
Yh same, when I get a bit more money together I might get something more flagship, I might just get an iPhone its cheap too if you get the last model so for example I think 17 is the latest model but the 16 is cheaper, I was gonna look at 16e but I don’t think its as good, thats more for people switching from older iPhones who want something a bit better maybe like people on maybe an iPhone 11 or something
Im feeling lonely, Im still took scared to say hi to anyone at work like I actually can't do it, its actually pretty bad, its just off previous experiences even years ago where ive tried to make connections and its failed or I've just been mocked for staying quiet like I have had that. Its like I don't have much social interaction and people suggested social clubs or whatever but I cant even say hi to people never-ending join a club. I just want a girlfriend, its lonely without one but if I can't even say hi to anyone its going to be tough. I don't know what to do
Hi @Redemption thank you so much for opening up about this. I really hear how anxiety-inducing its feeling to say hi and make new connections, especially when you're dealing with those memories of painful past experiences where people have been unkind or even judgmental. That sounds so hard and isolating to have gone through, and it sounds like there's almost an assumption that history will repeat itself, or that new people will respond the same way? Thinking about your experience of making new connections here on Community, I wonder if you can think of 1-2 things that you'd say has helped you to make friends here? For example, were there any little actions you did at the start that helped you get to know someone a bit more or make a new connection?
@eylah , it sounds like its been a really difficult week at times with loneliness and really, really missing people too. How are you doing this afternoon? I wanted to check in
Thankyou @Sian321 , thats actually a great way to put it, I feel history will repeat itself, thats maybe how it feels not with building connections like this but with new chapters like jobs including this one like I had a big fear of it all coming apart that I'll get sacked and still have it now, it is lesser like a smaller fear like I'm lasting, hopefully i will continue to and I really don't wanna jinx it I'm still fearful. Good point about whats helped me build friends here, basically here ive realised its a judgemental free place like most things i say im not gonna get judged on here, here has helped me a lot and it what would hopefully help with this because its helped me realise not everyone is judgemental and the world's not such a bad place, maybe people aren't as judgemental as I think. There's definitely judgemental people out there but it might be a bit lesser than I think, like there's people who have chatted to me or gave me a smile and greeted me which is small but nice feeling. It might just be a matter of time I can say hi and increase it because Im not a bad person, I have qualities like Im funny, kind if I get the chance patience like Ive been given that here. Thank you anyway Sian.

im ok you? @Nathan
@toffuna101 getting there bit by bit thanks. Hey, wanna know something funny?
ok
@toffuna101 I read the hospital psych team's letter to my GP after my admission, and I kid you not, I got roasted by them in the appearance section. "dishevelled appearance", and "hair unbrushed". Excuse me, this is how i always look. 😂😭
wow they shouldnt roast you like that, thats quite unprofessional of them.
I actually can't talk to anyone at work its actually really worrying me, I'm not going to find a Mrs like this
Going into hospital looking like i normally do only to effectively get diagnosed with ugly 🤣 Ouch.
But in fairness they were really nice there, and i actually find it funny more than anything else.
at least thats a plus.
@Redemption , thank you for sharing that, and I really hear how those painful past experiences of judgement or exclusion can add to that fear that it could become a pattern, that history will repeat itself, or that things might always be that way. That sounds difficult, and its so valid that those memories might make the process of finding new friends or building new connections feel really, really daunting. You've felt hurt and let-down in the past, and I can imagine a protective part of you might not want that to happen again.
It's so positive to hear that with your job role, little by little you're feeling less afraid of being sacked and things are more secure. It sounds like - through laying down these new experiences - new pathways start to feel possible. For example, it starts to feel more and more possible that you would keep your job. Or that a new friend would smile at you rather than judge you. Almost like re-writing a story so that there can be multiple possible endings?
Ah @Nathan how did that comment leave you feeling?! Sounds like you found it funny in ways, as well as maybe a bit confronting!?
@Sian321 i don't mind it personally, it's a good bit of a laugh tbf
Hey @Nathan <3 I know I've not been around much, but I wanted to ask how you were doing <3
@Redemption bruh even with a student account the s26 ultra costs over 1 grand...
Yh it's crazy @toffuna101 , quite a few phones are over a grand now like crazyyy
