    Hi!
    Just this morning I was looking for some advice online or helpful information to deal with loneliness... Turns out I didn't find much in Spanish, but luckily ended up discovering this fantastic site in English. So, I decided to set up an account and introduce myself :slight_smile: I live in Mexico City and I am doing a doctorate on communication, I love reading more than anything else. I was in a committed relationship that lasted for two years: however, it was a long distance relationship and, given that my girlfriend was always too busy to talk, I had been feeling lonely long ago before the break up. I know people around the world think Mexicans are noisy and extroverts, but in my case that's not true: I have no trouble talking to people or hanging out, but I am definitely more of an introvert. So, it's hard to make new friends, the ones I have are amazing but most of them are straight and just don't get what it feels like to be a lesbian in a conservative, religious environment like the one we have here. Same sex marriage is legal in Mexico City: however, people are rather homophobic, which makes thing hard for gay people.
    So, I decided to join this community: hopefully I will find people I can relate to. I love sharing ideas and listening to different points of view, so I hope I'll get to do just that in this site :slight_smile:

    Welcome to EC!
     
  10. Hello! Welcome to EC! It's great to meet you! You're always welcomed to wall message us! I'm an introvert to! But I talk too much and too loud sometimes, especially when I'm telling people about the outrageously funny stuff my dad says. We hope you like it here! :slight_smile:

    Hi.... My name is David, and it is brilliant to have you here. Everyone is so nice and friendly, and you are very welcome here. I was so glad to have found a safe and welcoming environment. I'm another one who's introverted and nervous myself, but since being in EC (only a few days), I have felt at ease here..
    I look forward to chatting, and sharing news, views and thoughts with you. (*hug*)
