Hello! Better to be on a forum than completely alone.

Hi, everyone.

As the username probably shows, I am a pretty lonely person. I battle a lot with anxious thoughts and social anxiety. Making friends and meeting people is hard (especially with Covid). I also have OCD which can affect my mood greatly, as I get really irritable when my routine is shifted or things aren't how they should be.

I hope this place can help to ease the pain a little, even if I only post on occasion. Nice to meet you all. I can't promise I'll be interesting, but I'll try my best.
 
Welcome to the forum, @loneliness I'm a fellow newcomer :).

I've spent only a very small amount of time here so far, but I can tell you this is one of the most welcoming communities full of people that are very easy to talk to, you will feel right at home here :)
 
Its nice to meet you.
And not interesting? I have yet to meet someone that is not interesting. We all have our stories and our experiences. Things we like. Things we love. Things we are not happy about and things we hate.

When you are ready and ok with it I would love to hear some of your things.

Welcome here.
 
Thank you for all making me feel at home.

In other forums I generally send a list of 'fun' questions to break the ice, but maybe we can leave that to another thread. I find people fascinating as we're all individuals with different values and interests. You may well be surprised how much of a value you are too people once they start hearing about you.
