Hello

Thank you for these resources

hiNdovu and welcome.

So pleased you've decided to give this forum a try.....hope you settle in here soon.

Hi Ndovu,

Welcome to the online community.  I am sure you will find lots of peer support and advice here, our community members are most supportive.  In the meantime these resources may be useful to you:

Making friends

Masking

Kind Regards

Hi, in my opinion trying to make friends is kind of forcing the issue and can lead to more unnecessary and uncomfortable masking. If friends come along they come along in the meantime this forum is a good place to just be yourself.

Hiya :-)

I have spent my whole life masking but because I'm getting older, it's more and more difficult.

That's what brought me and as I understand it others here too.

So that, in my experience, makes it a place where, in the main, people are pretty cool to chat with, vent to sometimes and maybe even work out ways of getting over/around/under/past or just being able to put up better with some of the difficulties together.

Best Wishes

Welcome, I hope you can find it useful here for talking to people.

Welcome! This is a safe space.
