Hello! I posted an introduction to myself some time back, but it was while I was in a pretty bad state of mind and mostly feeling sorry for myself. My first intro message, as a result, very much reflected that state of mind XD
I'm still feeling pretty down about life, but I've been making an effort to at least try and be more positive about myself, and see if I fare any better as far as socializing is concerned.
My name is Aaron. I'm 25, from the US, in a tiny town around southeast Ohio. I was diagnosed with mild Asperger's as a child, and suffer from pretty bad anxiety and depression. I graduated from Edinboro University in Pennsylvania with degrees in animation and sociology, and right now I'm self-employed as a freelance writer. I'm very interested in filmmaking (mostly animation right now,) and regularly make animated short films that I post on YouTube, submit to film festivals, etc. I'm pretty interested in film (and television by extension, or at least high quality "golden age of TV" shows,) as well as reading and music. I'm living at home at the moment after a brief run of trying to make it on my own for a while (the stress and expenses kind of added up.)
Lately I've kind of been feeling at rock bottom as far as my relations with other people are concerned. No romantic relationship, most of my old friends seem to be disappearing, no co-workers, and going out and meeting people is hardly my strong point. So, I guess I'm sort of poking my head up here after having joined and vanished a few months back, to see if I can at least moderately improve my functioning around others. I can be a bit misanthropic when I'm not careful, but I like to think I'm a nice and caring person at heart. Just been spending a few too many years in isolation. Nice to meet you!
