I definitely wouldn't mind joining such a group. I am currently in a sort of support group for MAP's but there is always a therapist present. Don't get me wrong she's a real understanding person. But still it would be nice to meat MAP's outside in RLhugs wrote: Mon May 05, 2025 6:18 am I feel like inconspicuous signals like that are only useful for offline communities, which we don't really have, unfortunately. It's never too late to try and make one, though. You could use slightly more conspicuous means to gather a group of maps, then convince them all to wear a certain signal like a pin, ring, or bracelet. If your community grows large enough, and if others begin to form, then the practice could spread to other map communities by word of mouth.
Can't you also meet up for beers informally, without the therapist?neveragain72 wrote: Tue May 06, 2025 8:03 pmI definitely wouldn't mind joining such a group.
