A Newbie's (slightly lengthy) introduction!
Hello good people. I am here on 7 Cups to gamble with fate and see if I can find someone who would -against all odds- want to be friends with me!
I'm sorry if that was a little sad... but to try and introduce myself:
I am a bit of an oddity that quit school at the age of 14 mostly due to social phobia (and a lot of mental stress in general). I was driven into a long stay at home under the effects of heavy treatments prescribed by what I think were some pretty incompetent psychiatrists. I gained a lot of weight then lost a lot of weight, I made a few attempts at recovery but "crashed" again about 2 years ago.
It has been 7 years since I dropped out. I now find myself to be a lonely, anxious and confused person. I haven't had a good chance to cultivate any interests besides gaming (which I barely engage in nowadays either way), and I lack so much knowledge about pretty much everything...
At the very least I tend to be open-minded and accepting of others; I try my best to listen to and discover other people and their interests as long as I don't torture them by being a complete dummy when it comes to even the most basic subjects...!
People have such busy lives (at least from my point of view) and have much to do and learn. I come here to see if I maybe there would be somebody who'd somehow not mind my current state and would want to connect with me and try and become friends. :)
sorry for the long text...
