I was in the same boat as you. and I can't say I've officially gotten out of that boat. A couple people have helped me learn along the way, and actually met my husband and he helped me. If he hadn't , I wouldn't be as progressed as I am today. Most fc's are cliquey and don't care about you at all. Sadly, this is the case. I often get ignored as well, for literally no reason. It seems like most fc's are the same.
