Does everyone feel strange on a new site?

This is my very first post here, and I feel like I'm in a sea of unknown people. Hopefully I'll get to know you as new friends, and the good thing is, I see already that I know some of you. That's wonderful, and at least I know I'll get a few comments! Looking forward to seeing how life is for you, and hoping things will be really good here. There wasn't much room for my profile, but I can tell you now, I love writing, family, gardening, nature, and enjoy hearing about your interests and your life too! Thanks in advance for reading my very first discussion!

Oh my, I thought I'd replied to you, but apparently not, my friend. I remembered on the other site I didn't follow peeps without a profile, unless I knew them already, as I don't like spammers! But you're a sweetheart. You don't need a profile, but it would be nice.

@crazyhorseladycx Scuse me butting in on your conversation but.... I'm the same ... what can you say in 160 words... I usually need a lot more n that to describe myself or make a decision on other folks...

Welcome to MyLot! Well, it's yours and mine and everybody's really! Yes, starting on a new site is daunting. A bit like starting at a new school. Don't worry, though, you'll soon learn the ropes. The Rules are called Guidelines here and you'll find them and other essential stuff up there at the top left next to your username and avatar under "Help". What many people seem to be asking is "Are there any limits on how much or how little you can post?" The answer is no (within reason). There are no word limits on how much or how little you can type for a discussion, response or comment (but bear in mind that MyLot likes 'quality', so very short discussion topics or comments may not be worthwhile.) You can also post as many discussions as you like per day. Whatever you feel comfortable with, bearing in mind that you'll be more successful the more you interact with others in your discussions and elsewhere.

There are quite a few of us here, now. I was on this site long before I discovered Bubblews. But they've changed this site a lot since I was last here a few years ago. So, in a way, it's new to even the old myLotters.

Having just re joined I am seeing lots of familiar profile pics already, I'm sure you'll soon find friends you already know.

Welcome to mylot. You will find mylot a great site, where we can make lots of friends, learn about their cultures, have fun, and of course earn as well. You will find that the more interaction you do, the more fun you will have, and the more you will want to do. I am having so much fun here that I have to pinch myself to see if it really real.

Okay, I'm working my way through this now, and want to thank you for your welcome! I thought I'd done so previously. I'm wining on a mobile, so it might look a little different.

This is my first day here and I know what you mean, it is a bit intimidating. I am sure we will feel at home soon though.

Hi I'm new too... but I felt like that too... but then came across some people I did know... like some of the people on your discussion below... but it feels comfy on here and folks are very generous with information and helpfulness...

Hi Vicki, nice to see your familiar face here. I only joined yesterday, but spent a bit of time exploring and getting to know the place, so feel much more comfortable today.

I felt strange when I joined too, but not for very long. This place is a lot more friendly than the other sites I've tried lately.
