Community Spotlight - meet Bethany! 👋

At Spoony, community is our core. We are deeply committed to connecting with our users and followers, actively participating in conversations, and truly listening to your voices. Every week, we’ll feature a conversation with a fellow Spoony, sharing their unique story and experiences.

This week we're talking to Bethany from Shropshire, United Kingdom. Thanks for sharing your story! 


Are you neurodivergent, chronically ill, and/or disabled?

Neurodivergent.

What barriers have you experienced in making friends and connecting with people?

Making friends is really difficult because I feel like I have to hide a lot of myself to genuinely connect with others. It’s exhausting always being on high alert to make sure you fit in the ‘normal person’ box. Like don’t say anything weird, ‘be yourself’ but not too much, don’t put people off.

What's been your experience on Spoony so far?

It’s been such a kind and supportive environment. Everyone seems so welcoming and glad to be a part of the community. It’s wonderful for me to not have to second guess everything I say.

Each week we'll feature a Spoony from our amazing community. If you'd like to share your story, let us know here.
