Hello, I am a bit new to this,(kinda...), I created an account on this site about eh, 2,maybe 3 years ago but after posting an initial hello as it were and and maybe a little bit of interaction I kinda just stopped for awhile a long while. At that time I suffered with a severe social phobia, even in online interactions along with my aspergers diagnosis which I received at 11, though the social phobia developed over time. For the most part my childhood was good up until maybe 4th grade as that was when my peers social development went beyond my own, though I was different from the get go and there was a fair bit of things I struggled with sensory wise, but the social struggles began to skyrocket at 4th grade on. During my early teens I struggled with depression and such great anxiety that I had to be homeschooled, which helped academically but social the insulated environment fostered greater isolation. I also struggled greatly with misonthropey but by the grace of god I was greatly able, in time, to forgive and finally have a joyful outlook again even in circumstances that would reduce me to a balling pile of tears, not to mention the kindness of others which I am very grateful for. Though progress has been made I still am in isolation and struggle to push past painfull sensoryoverload+still strong anxiety but I want strongly to overcome and to connect with people. So I hope to make more friends and would like to participate more in the WP community. Well that's enough of me, I hope you will have me.
