New and nervous about posting a new topic all for myself!

Post Reply New Topic

I hope this is the proper etiquette.

I actually already posted twice without introducing myself to the community; sorry about that.

I am 30, female, from the East Coast of the USA, mixed race, an artist; have been diagnosed with a plethora of lovely things, but never Asperger's although I have suspected it for the past several years and online tests confirm it.

I function well now, but not so much when I was younger; social phobias and ocd kept me from going outside for extended periods of time. Now I can go outside for work (don't like it, but I do it), but it takes a lot for a social event to have enough of a draw to make me leave the safety of my solitary little haven

I have a long-term boyfriend who is one of the few human beings who "gets" me. I have a cat who keeps me going when even the boyfriend makes no sense to me. I have more computers than I need, talk to myself constantly when alone, and most people find me to be "weird" but somehow I have managed to make that quality endearing as I try not to take myself or my social blunders seriously in public. Laugh and the world laughs with you.

I am here to find some comfort and camaraderie, especially on those days when I feel most like an alien. So far I already like you guys, from the things I have read. Hi!

Welcome to WrongPlanet.

Thank you Rebellious One!!

Welcome to Wrong Planet! I was a little nervous about posting my first topic, but the encouragement I got from people who commented made all the difference.

Thank you Mr. 292!

Yes I was a little scared last night that no one would respond and that posting was a grievous blunder (typical? hehe), but feeling a bit more secure now! *breathes*
