Hi

Snookums

Hi I decided to join an online community as I'm autistic and have very little social contact. I was part of a Facebook group which was nice but it's gone now. 

I like learning new things and spend a lot of time on YouTube trying to learn fun new stuff. I don't really go out and I have no friends, I'm always way too anxious but I find enjoyment in my hobbies which include:

  • Singing 
  • Music
  • Reading
  • Collecting Funko Pops
  • Gaming 
  • Baking 
  • Writing

Those are the things I enjoy most.

My special interest is films. I love films and find the creative process of them very interesting. I like watching and learning about the behind the scenes, the commentary, the special effects, everything basically lol! 

I enjoy my life, I like my interests but I'm very lonely and isolated and though it's kinda the norm now it does upset me a bit. 

I'm in a constant burnout since my sister died in 2020 and I find myself easily exhausted. I mention this just in case you have any tips on how to get through the burnout as at present it's very debilitating.

Sorry if I said too much here..I tend to ramble a bit. Just wanted to introduce myself. 

Snookums.

  • Hi and welcome, ! I'm very sorry about your sister, you must miss her. There have been plenty of burnout-related threads on here recently. I think the top tip is to take your resting very seriously. Feel free to start new threads on the topic, though, as everyone's experience is different.

    I'm partial to a good film myself, too. Back in the day, I got the extended DVD box sets of the LoTR films and watched every single behind-the-scenes special and listened to every commentary. I felt like I could walk out and start shooting my own film after that. So much fascinating information. It's something I miss in these days of streaming services. What are your favourites?
