    Ahh... this is a tad new for me. I haven't attempted to socialize with people of my own volition since about 2011. I only usually talk to my partner, as I have a hard time feeling safe talking to others. This year, for about 6 months, I attempted to socialize with others for the first time in ages. And it ended in disaster as I had feared. The atmosphere turned toxic, and the conversations within the group of friends devolved into spite and hate rallying against people we didn't care for. Uncomfortable with the behavior, I abruptly removed myself from that atmosphere and cut contact with those people. Now I'm looking for a new social outlet.

    Rambling aside, I use they/them pronouns and identify as agender. Though I usually just say I identify as "nonbinary", 'cause I'm not big on labels. I'm very open about this online, but not so much in real life. The one time I attempted to do so, it didn't go so well. But anyways, I hope to meet some nice people here!

    I guess it's time for some facts...
    • I'm an artist (Color theory is my favorite thing ever!)
    • I love Pokemon
    • I'm currently majoring in a science program
    • My favorite color is orange
    • Owls are my favorite animal! (closely followed by frogs, which I have two of)

    Welcome to EC!
    It's great that you could get yourself away from that group and could see it wasn't right to keep talking to them. If you need help with anything, just message me.

    Yes, it's been very nice to get away from those people. My grades and health have improved drastically since making that choice.
    Thanks so much though, it's nice to meet you! :blush:
