I actually just joined yesterday. Honestly the sheer size of this forum overwhelms me. I'm surprised any but the oldest members of the forum 'feel like they belong'. When there are so many other people it's so easy to feel like just another face in the crowd.
hi mishi_sings! glad you are here!
most people go to the introduction thread :getting to know you: and post a hopeful yet dignified opening thread with an interesting topic like " hey, I'm the new guy!" and then watch your emails for the post notifications to come through, then you can click on the links in the emails and see who has posted in your thread. If someone does say: I like to bla bla bla." and there ya' go. a conversation! just like that.
I used to wander up and down the lists like looking at books in a library, and , like the library, I stop at the thread titles until one interest me and then I read, and if I am moved to post, then I do.
Welcome to WP.
