    Hello there,

    I'm new here and this is my attempt at being social because it's not working out so much in real life. Any introductions would be very much appreciated. If you don't mind could you share some of your hobbies with me and we could see what we have something in common and grow from there.

    Nice to meet you all.

    :smilewave

    Hey, nice to meet you too :smilewave

    I'm very bad at social situations so I understand. Um, I'm not really sure what to say about me. My name's Quinn, i like to read and write almost any genre. I like to run sometimes and I like video games that give me something to do. That's all i can think of right now.

    Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Ace and I like to play video games, read books, and write stories and fan fiction. I mostly read and write fantasy and sci-if but I'm a sucker for a good paranormal romance novel too. I hope you make a lot of friends here because everyone is very open and accepting even if we all kinda suck at social situations.

    Hello! Welcome to EC!

    I'm SAYGEUR, and while I am not really great socially IRL at the moment, I'm trying to get better via the power of the internet, such as you are doing :grin: Some things about me, I love music. I mean, LOVE music and everything about it. I also enjoy playing video games when I have time, and enjoy messing around at scout activities, where most of the time I'm an awkward clutz as I have no idea how to be a normal person :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    You seem to be super awesome! I hope to see you around the forums!

    Ah welcome to EC!!

    I'm Nicole and I totally feel you on the not being great at irl social interactions ahaha, but I guess a lot of people here can relate. It was really relieving to find a community like this online.

    So what are you into? I'm into reading, writing and music? But I have horse so I spend a lot of time taking care of him and horse riding.

    Nice to meet you!

    Nice to meet you Sealgirl!
    Friends are hard in real life :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Though you'll meet amazing people here!

    I'm very much into (metal) music, and I play multiple instruments as well as sing. I'm pretty artsy I guess ^.^ Also videogames are cool. I love nintendo.

    Hey Sealgirl! I'm also new here and I also suck at making friends, so you're in good company (sort of :icon_bigg)

    Books and music are my main things (especially non-fiction--history and philosophy--and indie rock or post-punk), but I also love swimming and long distance running, and dabble in TV/Films, anime, video games, and martial arts.

    Let me know if you want to shoot the breeze about any of those things, or anything else

    I'm into coding, video games, anime, drawing, and streaming videos. I usually listen to whatever sounds good (except country). I don't mind random conversation and good laughs with open minded people.
