Hey,
I did fill my profile, so please have a look...but in summary
42 year old, awaiting assessment (score highly on tests + "hyperactive" as a child), moved to West Wales from London (born & raised).
On here venturing out to be more 'social' - just with my kind of people now, to take the sting out lol! But also learning a LOT too!
Like Arsenal, dogs, cars, trainers (footwear not the people), architecture, horticulture and history esp Caribbean (due to my heritage).
Im not great with technology (patience and practice), and not keen on the whole 'socials' thing, bit old school.
Would be great to meet people not just on here but perhaps eventually IRL groups/outings? Im new so apologise if I've missed the massive section dedicated to that! Im working my way through this beautiful discovery of this website!
Yea so...thats me! Hi!
Welcome!. This community is normally very welcoming and I hope you won't be put off by your early experiences here.
I enjoy lots of the same things as you, museums and galleries, country houses, holidays, getting out walking in the great outdoors etc.
I'm also socially isolated and don't do any social media whatsoever. This place is as social as I get. I try not to mask these days.
I share your fear of small dogs. Their bark is much worse than their bite. That incessant yapping noise is the worst form of sensory torture
wow its lovely to have so much in common with someone! i too am working on the masking - being more of my authentic self, without the judgement/worry. lol the yapping gosh...thats the beginning of fear. never thought about it being sensory torture, so insightful, but you're spot on, making me wince typing!
You don't need to mask here.
Nearly everyone is friendly and supportive ^^
