I haven't had booze in a week. I thought Covid had turned me in to an alcoholic but it hasn't!!

I've just done something I swore I'd never do. I've reactivated my Facebook account after 10 years. I have to start reconnecting with people. Trouble is, I don't actually know how to use the thing properly (I was only on it for about 6 weeks in the first place) and anything I have found has just made me really sad. I'm wary about looking people up after such a long time and having people think I'm creeping on them online. And what would I say? I've put in a request for a friends group for my Alma Mater- would it be weird to have a post on my profile page saying I was looking to reconnect with old friends and acquaintances?

Leg End Reject

I think your best bet is just to send friend requests. I doubt anyone will question you rejoining or sending the request, but all you have to say is the lock down prompted you as real life meet ups aren't possible.

Be careful.. Facebook is a funny place at the moment...it's full of right wing nutters covid conspiracy theorists...anti vax etc
Look up your school mates...send a few requests... follow a newspaper, or radio station... join a local Facebook discussion group and connect with people.
Or just troll the living fck out of everyone..that works too...err I hear

Is there anyone Sardi you could text and meet for a coffee? We can meet people and keep a distance from them.
If there are particular people you would like to re-connect with then Facebook could help with that. I'd mind yourself on it though and limit your use to purely using it to get in touch with people.

No. No one I could meet up with.

I think I'd like to reconnect with some people but wouldn't have a clue what to say.

Think I'll leave it. I've got a feeling the venture would crush me, TBH

This is what I would say;

"Hey, It's been a long time. I thought I'd reach out and see how you are doing "

Try and approach it in stages. A first message is just testing the waters. There is no guarantee a friendship will be rekindled. Right now you are only at the very beginning.

If they don't respond then tell yourself that you made an effort and that it takes courage to reach out to people so you should feel proud of yourself.

Thanks Persepoly.

I think I'll leave it. I'm not feeling too robust at the moment and don't think it would do me good. I wouldn't want to hear from me, why should they?

Am a wee drowned rat, but i have tea and i'm not budging for a while now.

Getting myself a mug of tea and some big fat slices ofor lemon cake to lift my spirits.

My sleep pattern has been disrupted though i try to keep active with walking and catching up on reading.

Wearing the sling 24/7 is so annoying but hope it will be worth it.

And not driving is the pits.

Still I am pain free and tended hand and foot so just being a whingy old git.
