Hello. I’m not very good at introducing myself but here goes…

I’m a 31 year old female. I recently moved from Tennessee to New Mexico. I love Pokémon, video games, drawing and going for long walks. I’m looking for people I can relate to or possibly to make friends. I’m pretty easy to talk to once you get to know me.

Welcome to Wrong Planet.

In another thread you wrote:

The final part is that I do have interests that one would consider childish. The main one being Pokemon. I wear Pokémon clothes because they fit me and I love them (especially my Pikachu hoodie). I also don’t mask-at all. I’m always stimming and running around. I get judgment all the time, especially when people find out I’m actually 31. But I ignore them and carry on. I don’t understand the concept of trying to be something that doesn’t come naturally to you. We are who we are, why change it?

You wrote that you do not mask at all. That is interesting because I do not mask either. I am always me. As a result I do not undergo the same problems that many autistic people experience which produces severe stress. So not masking has actually been a good quality. You wrote, "We are who we are, why change it?" Welcome to the site.
