Hang With Friends

Come on in, pull up a chair!

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.

Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.

Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.

This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.

A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.

Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on July 13, 2012 at 6:06pm: Hi Destiny. I see you are new to Atheist/Nexus. Welcome!! Your announcement on Facebook felt refreshing, I'm sure. It's times like those when you find out who your true friends and supporters are, and that's a good thing. It makes those relationships stronger and more cherished, which in turn makes life better.

You're in a GREAT group here in Hang With Friends. Some of the nicest (and funniest) people to associate with. I wish we could all meet for a big bash of great pot-luck food and drink. I know it would be a blast.

Happy Friday, everybody!

(**Special shout-out to Sk8eycat: you crack me up.)

Comment by Destiny Tripp on July 13, 2012 at 4:08pm: I'm late! Soo late!
I have always liked the name Melinda! Destiny Tripp is my actual name. An atheist named "Destiny Tripp". A bit ironic, huh? My poor brothers name is Chrstian, also an atheist! Anyone is welcome to find me on fb btw

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on July 13, 2012 at 3:59pm: Sorry, Destiny, I left Facebook a long time ago.

Comment by Destiny Tripp on July 13, 2012 at 3:51pm: Thanx for the friend request! And the words of encouragement! I may be young but I feel old! I JUST gained access to the internet and because of groups like this, I would have felt enough support to come out YEARS ago! This point in my life I just feel like those who matter dont mind, and those who mind DON'T MATTER!

Comment by booklover on July 13, 2012 at 3:43pm: I'm sure they are adorable! There are SO many cat-lovers here!

Comment by Destiny Tripp on July 13, 2012 at 3:42pm: Also, I have been trying to share a pic from my phone to booklover. I have here with me 3 adorable, fluffy kittens! Try to just picture them, 2 black and ome grey. =^..^=

Comment by booklover on July 13, 2012 at 3:41pm: Good for you Destiny! You won't be judged here. My daughter is Bi, and Atheist, VERY Liberal, jewish heritage... As a cute,little 20-year old blue-eyed blond, she could walk into a KKK meeting and be totally safe as long as she didn't open her mouth! She and I both have that we are Atheists on our FB pages. So far no one has cared. If they do, buh-bye!!! Stay strong!!!~ Melinda
