Difficulty reading people

I'm really sorry if i've offended anyone at all , i'm not a bad person I just get really angry at certain things , I don't expect a reply but just so you know =(=(

I don't really know how to make friends either , it seems like everyone knows each other on here it's intimidating as I hardly know anyone and always seem to say the wrong things

Sorry

It can be hard to make friends when you see a close knit community and feel as though you aren't a part of it, however there are probably many many other people on RYL who feel exactly the same as you do. The trick is to not be afraid to reach out for someone, if someone posts something nice or you see something that makes you laugh PM (private message) the person, introduce yourself in chat, just post basically. You'll get there :)

Hi there, just to introduce myself, I'm Fran. Feel free to PM me, even if just for a friendly chat.

I found when I joined that posting in the Fun and Distractions, and General Chat forum really helped to get to recognise people.

I hope to see you around the boards.

It very much depends on what you want out of a post - is it support, opinion, advice?

A fair few people have been on RYL for a while or may be part of on-going threads, which may mean they know each other. Otherwise, it is a case of posting and getting to know people that way, or taking the leap to join chat and meet people there. It takes time, for everyone at first. Do try not to give up though, as you can get there.

Worth knowing that I am personally terrible at replying to PMs, so for me don't go that route. I am good at replying to forum threads that I am following though.
