So my name is SomethingGenuine. I here to meet more people like me. I was diagnosed somewhat later in my teens with Aspergers. I find it hard to meet friends and if I somehow do make acquaintances, I usually burn bridges. I am in my early twenties and I am still having a hard time meeting people. I live anime, video games , Alternative rock music, food and working out. It is nice to meet all of you! :)

Hi and Welcome, SomethingGenuine. I like your name, it reminds me of a song I like with the same name.
I like food too. I like to bake it and sometimes cook it. I sometimes make foods just to find out what they taste like. I wish I could go on a Food Tour in Japan and Korea.
I don't watch anime anymore, but I've seen a LOT of it. I don't ever intend to watch it again, but I don't mind conversation about stuff I've actually seen. What kind do you watch?

Welcome to Wrong Planet. About 50% of the people in the world are Introverts and the others are Extroverts. I am in the extreme of the introvert scale. Most people are scattered towards the middle.

An extrovert recharges their internal batteries by coming together in a group. One person starts talking and then another one joins in and before long a conversation happens. They talk and talk and talk. And by talking they recharge their inner batteries and are ready to face the next day.

But introverts are different. We recharge our batteries by being alone. We might read a book or watch a movie. We think, think, think and soon our internal batteries become recharged.

As an extreme introvert, I do not need thousands of friends. One or two is mostly what I need. Sometimes when I find a close friend, I will open up and Talk, Talk, Talk. It is a one on one conversation. Sometimes I Listen, Listen, Listen.

I watch all kinds but I have currently laid off on the rom-coms and slices of life because they are making me feel kinda alone. I haven't watched as much as I could of anime considering work and life has been very busy and stressful.

I completely understand. I might be a little more extroverted but only to a degree. Once I reach a certain point I get really drained and do not talk to anyone for a bit.

Yes I loved Zombie Land Saga when I watched It and I heard there was a season 2 coming out. Shoot, it might have already came out. JOJO is pretty awesome too. I need to finish Stone Ocean.
