Looking for like-minded members to chat with
Watch this postHello all, I am new! Never joined a chat site before. Am looking for people to chat with from near and far!
It is understandable that everyone is a little unsettled! With this virus here and abroad, we all need to feel comfort and reassurance! I
know everyone feels a little bit alone, not being able to get out like before. I am glad for this chat room.
By the way, we are going to get through this! Together from miles apart! I am here to listen, if you want to talk!

I love the words you posted "we all need to feel comfort and assurance". You nailed it with that sentence. I am 60 years old and never, ever in my wildest dreams did I expect a pandemic. It's so scary because there is so much unknown. Where will it end? If you're looking for friends to chat, vent or whatever...know I'm here and available.

You cannot make future plans as you usually would as everything is still uncertain.
I do not see my family much. I think we will get our lives back but it will still take some time.
Some people will be changed as a result, in some ways their values will have changed for the better. Life is not all about consumerism! Hopefully some people will develop some more empathy for others and realise what is important.
Interesting view point you got there, Wanna private chat?

It is stated that it is harder to process non-verbal cues which means more concentration is needed which can be tiring over time.
It is also stated that the delay of 1.2 secs can make people look less friendly or focused. I have noticed this delay. You say something and the person looks blank, then people talk over each other!

What I found interesting about your post was that I'm on a US site and lots of the men there (all of whom have prostate cancer) talk about wanting to move somewhere else for a variety of reasons. Some political and some just to move away from the more urban areas where there might be some unrest. I follow closely....mostly daily...US news and track the struggle to contain the virus. I communicate regularly each week with some chat friends - one in NC, one in Arizona, one in WV and another in Kanas.
I had a trip booked to go to New York for a wedding on September 2 for the daughter of a friend who played basketball in the States and then to travel to meet up with two of these friends and check out the East Coast but unfortunately the virus had other ideas.....hopefully next year ♀️
I hope you meet others via this site who might give you some ideas about where would be a good place to move. My friend in WV talks about moving to Florida....guess that's where a lot of Americans retire to.
Enjoy your weekend. Marianne.

Happy to chat. I live in Australia but distance isn't such an issue now is it with COVID!
I've just posted for the first time. I'm a carer for my husband who has prostate cancer but I'm still active and involved with family and work.
keep safe and stay well.

Hope you fine I've just joined here.
I have been at home for months now.
This virus is steeling a year and maybe more of our lives.
I can't visit my family and thank goodness for facebook so I can see and chat with them for free

Yes, I was saying to some others it feels we cannot make future plans as everything is uncertain. We will have to focus on what we can do now. What do you like reading? Do you have any favourites?
Take care

I am a dog lover as well. I have learned to appreciate garden as of late. I would rather be outside that inside. It’s a little hot here right now. Do most of outdoor activities early in am or later in the evening.
Hope your day goes well!
Stay safe
