    Hey there

    i go by Sooty, a Bisexual fellow from Hampshire/Dorset

    I tend to doodle alot (fantasy, superhero, and furry stuff mainly), enthuse about railways, and occasionally do some gaming

    im a little shy, awkward and still firmly in the closet.

    I was once on here when i turned 18, but it was a while ago and i kinda forgot it all (now 23)…

    Sooty.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary!

    *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. In particular you may want to check out the forum that is titled "Sexual Orientation”, there are people there who have dealt with some of the same kind of issues that could be challenging you.

    *****When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can post a question on my Profile Page or send me a Private Message.

    .....David :gay_pride_flag:

    Hey, I didn't see this before but I wanted to say hello anyway! You sound pretty similar to me to be honest. I'm 24 now, but have a lot of issues around anxiety that stop me from being fully out and having the confidence to go about living my life the way I'd like to.

    I like doodling too, although I'm very bad at it. But otherwise those are some cool interests =)

    Hope to see you around, and I hope this place helps you!

    Well you're definitely in the right place. Lots of super supportive people here to help =)

    And thank you =P I don't doodle as much as I should. I should probably start again if I want my doodles to be any kind of good. I have a couple I kind of like, but I'm definitely out of practice.

    But yeah, it's nice to see you posting and sticking around this place so far ^^

    Hi there @SootyLion!

    I am also into furry art! Really want to go to my first con this year, maybe next, but not sure if I can make it happen.
    Welcome to EC. I hope you can find all the support you're looking for here. :gay_pride_flag:

    Hi Sooty! Welcome back to EC. I love anime, comics, 3D art, and sketches.
