  1. General Discussion
    Give a scenario which could be problematic for someone. The next person to reply has to say what they would say to someone in an assertive manner in order to make another person aware, solve, find a compromise etc. This seems like a good idea at the moment haha First hypothetical situation...
  2. General Discussion
    Old thread exceeded and not working properly for some users. Old thread: https://www.socialanxietysupport.com/forum/f24/type-what-you-re-thinking-about-right-now-2031289/ Post here in new one.
  3. Arts and Crafts
    All right! I've been pondering starting this thread for ages but never had the guts. Here it goes. Similar to its namesake thread, this thread is for typing what you're thinking about, EXCEPT the theme is creativity. Type what you're thinking about whatever creative/artistic endeavor you happen...
  4. Just For Fun
    Ask the person below you a question starting with Have you ever... Have you ever oil painted?
