Recently diagnosed, I'd love to make friends and chat!!

Hi! I'm Rebecca, and I'm a 21 (22 in a few days) year old psychology undergraduate student. I'd love to make friends with people, especially those who share any of my interests!!

I LOVE video games. RPGs are typically my favourite, but I am happy to try out any genre. I love all aspects of video games, from the development, to the art direction, to the voice acting and to the software/development limitations that end up becoming defining traits in a game (such as the fog in silent hill!)

My favourite games are the Yakuza series, the Pokemon series, Persona 4, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Red Dead Redemption 2, and the Splatoon series! I also just like learning about games in general, even if I haven't played them myself.

I am also a big anime fan, but I am usually into older titles, such as Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Recently, though, I have loved Dungeon Meshi! I am a MASSIVE fan of Mob Psycho 100!! I really like to make art for my favourite shows.

I love anything cute. I have been really into Monster High recently, and I love My Little Pony! Sanrio is another huge interest of mine! I am a big collector, so I have an obscene amount of plushies and figurines.

I really enjoy Psychology!! I love autism research (who would have guessed?) but honestly I will read about anything and everything because I love learning new things!!!!

I hope I can meet people who like the same things as me! Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!!

  • Hi 

    Hello and welcome. I am not officially diagnosed but self-diagnosed. My daughter was diagnosed last year, which led to a search for my own identity and understanding who I really was all along.

    I don't think I've ever met anyone who said they were interested in the making of video games too, so am I. And since I was a child of the 90's, there were a lot of technical limitations, which I find interesting to understand how they got around them. I feel exactly the same with film and especially animation, I'll enjoy experiencing it then want to understand exactly how it was made. I used to love those "making of" documentaries on DVDs which I don't see much of anymore.

    Hi pdaddio83, I am SO SORRY about the late reply!!! I haven't been getting any notifications and I just happened to check this post by chance!! I'm playing a lot of catch up!

    I am happy that you have come to learn more about yourself via self-diagnosis. It is a powerful tool for learning and self discovery, and I like to stress its importance in research, especially so that people who usually go un-diagnosed can take part in studies.

    I'm glad that you are also interested in the creation of video games. I could go on and on about it!!! I've been big into retro gaming recently, so after Uni is over, I want to buy a PS3 and PS2.

    The creation of animation and film is also amazing. I find animation especially admirable; I have tried animation a few times, and it is painfully difficult!!!

    They really don't make as many "making of" videos as they used to, do they?! I didn't even realise it until you said it. What a pity! I love to see how things are made. I remember watching a video of the creation of the set of Coraline which was superb. I also used to obsessively watch the show "How It's Made" on TV as a child. I miss it!
