This will be my first post here, and it is very difficult to write, as silly as that may seem. I suppose it is not helped when I have been very honest here on my profile regarding things that I normally am not particularly forward with. Hello massive anxiety.
I have received a warm reception from the welcome committee volunteers. Very friendly and helpful. Taking the time to say hello, ECT. to newbies is a really an awesome thing to do. It is strange and somewhat scary to be in a place where I do not have to hide behind a mask. The kindness is very much appreciated.
I hope to maybe get to know a few people better, or at least branch out a little bit socially. It is a rare pleasure to be able to share thoughts with others, unconcerned of the repercussions of honesty.
To anyone who reads this, if you should feel so inclined, please feel free to say hello or whatever else you may wish to say.
Thank you to all who take the time to read this.
(The response to this post has been massive!!! Thank each and everyone of you who have taken the time to say hello and such. I appreciate all of you for taking the time to do it. It is really nice to have seemingly been so warmly embraced by everyone. I want to apologize to anyone I do not personally respond to. I am going to try and give each and every person the thank you they deserve, but if I miss you, or it takes awhile, please have no doubt that your response is very much appreciated. This place has gotten off to a really awesome start. Thank you all again!!!"

Welcome! I hope you find the same sense of camaraderie that I have found here so far as a newer member myself.

Greeting and Namaste. I am also relativity new here myself, I have found most to be warm and friendly and those that are, oh lets say not so much.... keep telling them they are good and wonderful and at some point they start believing us. I am intrigued by your screen name, it speaks of a meloncollie sadness but has a beauty all to its own.

Hello. Meeting new people, on-line and in person for me, has always been fun. Over the years -- in life, not here -- I have met some grumpy people, but if I'm nice they are nice. Time always tell whether you will be friends, close friends, or more. Always have fun even with those who disagree with you. Those that are nasty usually leave or get kicked off. Welcome.

"If you take excenent care of yourself, the very best that can happen is that eventually you will get very sick and die." Take advantage of every chance you get to make yourself at home and enjoy as many good friends as you can. Choose wisely but don't be bashfull. It's your time to live. Be brave. They can't eat you. So savor the good and shine on the rest. Do not, as Thorough said "come to die and discover that you had not lived".

Welcome to the dark side! Most people are nice. You can report or block people who aren't.

I’m so sorry you have anxiety writing here. I think for the most part you will find people extremely welcoming. If you’re just looking for fluff conversations that’s easy enough to find. If you’re looking for deep philosophical questions, you can find that as well! If you haven’t already, I would suggest looking through and joining groups you are interested in.
Just like any internet site, there are trolls and assholes here. Don’t be afraid to block people. I’ve only blocked about 5 but it’s made my time much more enjoyable.
Welcome!!! ❤️❤️
