Hi Clare, thanks for sharing how you felt when you first joined the group. I'm glad you feel a lot happier now. I agree, its good that people are opening up more, I think it helps to form better friendships. To be honest, I had similar feelings when new people joined the group. Everyone already seemed to know each other and I was starting to feel like a outsider. Many times I had thought of leaving the group but in the end decided to stay. Like I say, I really do understand how you must of felt at the beginning. I'm really glad I didn't leave, everyone is very nice on here. Senn.
