    Hey there :slight_smile: I'm new here so I hope to meet some awesome new people. Im looking to make friends and meet people in the LGBT world. I live in Malta at the moment but I'll be moving to England at the end of next year, so it would be great if I met people from there. I'm a very artsy and musical person and love reading. I'm pretty much a socially awkward introver so excuse my lack of social skills in advance

    Welcome.

    I am fairly new here myself. I am also introverted, so you have company.

    I hope you enjoy the site.

    Introversion is a hazard of being non-heterosexual. Then we come out and nobody can shut us up. Welcome! Be amazing every day!

    Welcome to EC, Charlie! :wave:
    Glad you've found our community! Good luck in advance on your move. I can't imagine how physically and emotionally taxing the experience of moving to a completely new place is, but I've heard that's one of the most enlightening experiences you can have in life.
    Let me, or another staff member, know if you need any assistance here! :slight_smile:

    What will you be doing in England? Maybe school? I know it's a stereotype that English are all polite but they do seem reasonable. (Although there is Brexit...) George Orwell once wrote, somewhat facetiously, that "The gentleness of the English civilization is perhaps its most marked characteristic... In no country inhabited by white men is it easier to shove people off the pavement." And of course any country that could come up with Monty Python clearly doesn't take itself too seriously.

    Hahah that's a good quote <3 My mum and her side of the family or from England, I'm a half and half sort haha. We've been visiting and staying with them since we were kids and have always wanted to move. I'm in my last year of University so we can go when I'm done but I definitely want to continue studying :slight_smile:

    That's cool :grin: where we usually stay/will be going is around the same distance from London

    Welcome!! :slight_smile:

    Hello there :slight_smile:

    Hello!
    A big welcome from an also artsy, reading-loving introvert : -) And I love your profile picture! How long have you lived in Malta? I grew up moving around a lot so I completely understand the being from many places thing. Hope life is good for you and would love to talk more!

    Continue studying after uni? I.e. more uni? That's very commendable. I got much more out of grad school than I did in undergrad. What would you study?
