I downloaded this app feeling so hopeful and excited that I could finally maybe connect with people who could relate to the experiences I have had because of my chronic illnesses. Because I have never felt that in real life. And now I feel worse than I did before I downloaded this app because i can’t even connect to or talk to anyone here. It’s like, my brain is laughing at me for really thinking I could meet people and that anyone would care about what I have to say. I just feel so dumb and sad. I know I sound like a child right now. I’m sorry. It’s just painful not having a single friend. Not one. Thanks for reading this far.
Why can't you connect with or talk to anyone? I don't really have any friends in real life other than my boyfriend. I've only been here for a week or so and I've chatted with a couple people a little bit. You can send me a private chat if you'd like..... 🤗
I think we have to give it time for the community to grow. It seems like this app is just being launched or relaunched and needs that time to cultivate a following. Don’t give up!
Jbug I am the same, my boyfriend is my only friend but even he doesn’t understand some of the things related to my illnesses. I don’t know why I can’t connect in real life. It just hasn’t happened since I was in middle school :( on here I got the courage to send some messages but no one replied to me. Bergeron that’s true thank you for your reply. I was just feeling really sad and couldn’t tell anyone when I wrote this post and was desperate for a connection. I’m sorry it was so whiny. Thanks for replying you guys.
i’ve found this app kinda helpful, it’s personalized around like minded people and with people who kinda get where you’re coming from. i feel comfort reading and responding to posts on the feed. what i’ve seen most people do is make a post introducing themselves and people kinda just flood in and message them
