First of all
I have met some great people in the last 5 weeks and been made most welcome into the comminity
Yes sometimes still feel a little uneasy in a large crowd of people i dont know and being a shy person i am someone who wont go and "barge" in on conversations
My point is that how dose one get to know other people and for other people to get to know me?
I’m just the same mate, I tend to be rather shy with folks I haven’t met (that’s the real met, not the swinging “metâ€) It takes time for me to feel comfortable enough to join in. It’s a confidence thing, some people have it all the time, some people have it some of the time(me) and some people struggle to find it at the best of times.
As for “how do I get to know people/how do they get to know me†it takes time and a bit of patience. In the Forum just do some posts in threads. Try to pick the less contentious threads at first, don’t be confrontational respect others views etc and soon people will be used to “seeing†you about the place.
In real life, much the same
I think you stop being a newbie only when you feel like you’re not one any more.
For the record, I’m just beginning to feel like I’m fitting in, and I’ve been here for 11 months.
Thank you for your positive replies
the shyness is something that i will have to overcome in a nice way
hope to meet mnay more people soon(when finances allow) and make new friends to
there are some great people on here and yes some not so great but you do get that in all walks of live that is why we are all different
I still feel like a newbie.
