Introduce yourself here! AUGUST 2015

HI GUYS

 

OK, so here is the place to say HI! and make yourself at home and introduce yourself! How we do it here at ReachOut is get to answer 5 simple questions that help us get to know you.... And because we all love talking all the oldies also end up answering the questions too.... Coz that's just what we do...

 

Here we go

 

1) What do you do during the days usually....?

 

2) Finish this sentance "For me, ReachOut is _________"

 

3) What is the way that you treat yourself?

 

4) Tell us something you are working towards at the moment

 

5) Tell us about a person that you are grateful to have in your life (keep it anonymous, just explain their relationship to you)

Hey @Lonelyboy @bushtakka @Craycray17

Can you please create a new post to keep this discussion going? It's getting wayyy off topic now and that's a bit against guidelines. 

 

Actually meant to lock this thread...so I'll have to do that in 24 hours. 

 

Okay I'm going to go back and hide in my server now 😛

That sounds really tough and confusing @Lonelyboy, I'm sorry to hear this! Have you guys tried getting off the phone/ separating for a few hours when you're starting to argue? Whenever I am leading down that path with someone I try telling them I'll call them back later, go calm down by doing something relaxing, andcalling them back when I'm more level-headed

She says she doesnt believe me when i say i love her etc, she thinks i use her

LonelyboyPosted 11-09-2015 03:45 PM

She does support me equaly but ahe just seams to be getting more and more tired of arguing as am i, most of the time we argue of a mistake ive made or something to do with me, she can often get depressed and then she gets mad over small things most usually dont, and it gets hard, i love her and she loves me but she also doesnt

@bushtakka is very right, @Lonelyboy, relationships can be so great when they are equal, but if your girlfriend isn't showing the equal level of support for you, maybe it isn't you that isn't good enough for her! Please don't beat yourself up that shedoeant share things, some people aren't as open to sharing as others, I know that how it is with my partner! I'm sorry that you are feeling like you fail at things, don't forget often we are the only thing in the way of ourself succeeding! Sometimes a bit of faith in ourselves gets the ball rolling

Idk i feel okay now ww just had an argument but its okay j guess, it can sometimes be hard to deal with as we are both in avhool and her parents dont let her meet me often but they do like me, but we do argue regularly

@lonely boy how are you going today? I read your above message about trying to fix things with you girlfriend, do you guys argue a lot?

LonelyboyPosted 11-09-2015 12:49 PM

Hey @bushtakka , i havent done much to make her upset i tell her how beautiful she id every day and she like me and eveything and i never turn away from her i just feel like im not good enough for her anymore, we were so close i could tell her everything and i did, but then she has slowely found it harder to tell me things, ahe doesnt support me in the same way and im worried she will find someone better, i love her so much, and i dont want to lose what we have, i just dont know anymore, i just really want us to work

Not too long ago i lost a friend that ive known most my life and since then ive lost most of my friends with out anything actually happening, it doesnt help with the scenario im in and i just want aomeone i can say hey to when i need and blurt out what im feeling

Yep, for sure @Lonelyboy, relationships and friendships are awesome sources of connection , sharing , valudation and strength for us all - when theyre going right! And make us grow and challenge ourselves. Its really good to have a place to talk about whats happening for us and talk out those feelings we have inside.

 Awesome you've come here.

 

I'm without my computer and ipad now since two days ago, and just have the iphone now after a week. I am a pretty icky typer on the wee smartphone buttons! 😞 So what i'm saying is, the other contributors or forum moderators usually all be jumping in to chat to you too, and they usually post the links to the tip sheets on this website. And just say hi! 

 

if you want to talk to someone in realtime about your relationship, there is always Lifeline 131114 or they also do online chat sessions in the evening.

 

Hope things work out well for you @Lonelyboy 

 

I'm all over the place with my comment, but just thought i'd give a hoy while i was here. Take care.

Hey im new to the site and i know this is for last month but i liked the questions better so here i am.

1) browse the web try to make some friends, i always love learning new things about my hobbies.

2) reach out is a place for me to start fresh, to find someone i can talk to as a friend

3)i dont really, i dont really get to do so because right now i dont seem to treat others

4)a goal would be to help recover my relationship with my girlfriend

5) my girlfriend, i am so grateful to have her in my life, grateful doesnt start to explain it, i just dont seem to be able to make her haooy rn, i try but i seem to make her more upset, there are things she wants but i cant seem to offer, our relationship is okay but could be better, ahe just doesnt realise how much i love her, i know she loves me, but she als is upset with me i just dont know what to do, its confusing me and i just would like someone to talk to, to help get me back in tracks with her and i came here looking for someone to talk to who could helo me but i could also helo then, i dont know if this site is the place to do so but i thought i would try

Hi @Lonelyboy we have something in common! ... Sometumes I see myself as a lonelygirl too.

i am glad to hear of you wanting to seek people to have a friendly chat with- i know you ve come to the right place here! Lots of friends.

i guess being friends first no matter what the attraction is most important. I tried hard to please my friends too, but sometimes it was hard to make them open up. So dont worry, maybe friendships go thru that ?

you know what? I'm thinking too thst maybe the ones that drifted out of my circle temporarily, that they just couldn't offer me at the time, the friendship or connection i wanted to share with them at the time... And thats okay too- you cant change anyone. But usually friendships balance out, and we get our social needs met by our whole circle of friends and acquaintances and networks...

 

Like you, my friends are never out of my mind and like a soppy thing i always hope they are doing fine and well! 🙂

So how do you communicate that your friends make you happy and you enjoy their friendship?

So maybe she feels that way ?

 

anyway please feel free to chat and message, and share. Maybe were all in the same boat. Just dont settle..

All this talk about Japan is making me miss it even more. Next time I'm definitely going in Spring! I've stayed with friends in Japan before, which was an awesome experience - getting to experience Japanese life.

Yeah I'm definitely excited, @evanescence! Wow living in authentic Japanese accommodation sounds great, where would you recommend? We are on a budget, but a night or two would be great 🙂

Welcome @Craycray17 and @evanescence! I reckon you guys should start a Travel Tips thread here on the Hanging Out board. I reckon loads of people are in similar situations and could use the personal advice from people who've been where they want to go 🙂

Craycray17Posted 01-09-2015 05:20 PM
Wow thankyou so much for your tips, @Richardman! Thermally sounds really cool too

What a wonderful trip to look forward to, @Craycray17! Japan is a breathtakingly beautiful country, and nice n close to Oz! Two weeks is a perfect time frame to taste a bit of all the special places you want to see.

When we went a few years ago, we loved going off the beaten track and experiencing authentic Japanese accommodation and culture! We visited as many nature spots and yes, @Richardman - we did see some cherry blossom trees. Before that, i'd only seen them on tv or episodes of Sailor Moon lol!
Really really beautiful though!

@Craycray17 February is around the end of winter over in Japan. I'm not sure of any interesting accomodation (i was on a budget and preferred to stay in hotels that cost less than $50 a night). But in terms of shopping, my favourite shopping mall is Namba in central Osaka. It is a huge mile long outdoor mall. In Tokyo, you can shop in Shibuya, Harajuku, Akihabara and Ueno market (each shopping district has a different style/theme). And the department stores in any city are huge, multi-stories. For tea ceremonies, try Kyoto. It is the city most in touch with hitorical traditions.

 

@N1ghtW1ng Thanks, these forums are great! Ive heard about the cat island, I think i wanna go too! While I was in Japan, I went over to Seoul, South Korea, for a few days. That was an interesting experience. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it was really good. And scary - the military and police presence over there is crazy! I've also been to Fiji.

@N1ghtW1ng thankyou! Loving this community space so much. Always been a fan of the reachout.org pages, and now I'm loving the forums too!
I haven't been anywhere outside of Australia, been around Qld a lot, like Cairns and Port Douglas, there are some incredible beaches and little nooks away from civilisation, however I can't wait to be dropped into a new culture

Also, @Richardman, what time did you see the lovely trees in autumn? I'm going beginning of Feb so might be too late?
