    :smilewave Hi! I'm new here and I'm your standard not-sure-what-I-am-so-now-I'm-here-looking-for-help type person. I know I've got to figure that out for myself, but it's hard and it wouldn't hurt to have some friends along the way. So far, I know I'm not straight, but I'm not sure if I'm gay or bisexual or something else, and I don't have many people to talk to about it.

    I'm shy, but I'd love it if people talked to me. I like crafts and sci-fi, I have a bookshelf full of Tolkien books, and I could probably live off of pasta and mozzarella sticks. I study engineering and I'm trying to learn to play violin (it's slow going, but I can play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star like a champ).

    Then allow me to be the first of many to welcome you!

    I do hope that however you make use of EC you find it a safe place to talk about whatever it is you wish and that you benefit from it.

    I'm a hobbit because I'm short and I grew up reading Tolkien stories with my brother. I would gladly eat six meals a day and live in a hole in the ground with a brightly-painted round door.

    Hello and welcome…although I also just joined yesterday.

    I love the violin, I want to learn so badly.

    Also I hope you find the support you're looking for here. :slight_smile:

    I've considered it, but my current goal in life is to live in a treehouse because then I could have ziplines. I'm thinking some sort of Swiss Family Robinson/Ewok Village/Lothlorien hybrid (but simplified a bit). Of course, I'll need to acquire some money first...

    Welcome to EC! I hope you find friends and answers. Do you have a favorite hobbit? Mine is Pippin or Sam, it is a tie.

    I like Merry and Pippin the best. I don't think Merry gets enough credit. He's actually really clever and he's the one who figures things out and makes plans initially. But then there's Pippin, and he's just all-around fun.

    Merry tends to get Pippin out of trouble.

    I cried when the two were seperated.

    Hi .... I just joined as well .... Also confused as to exactly what I am ... Gay /straight / bi ... I'm guessing I'm bi ... I seem to like some men and some women ... But really insure as to whether or not I could be in a relationship with a man ... I guess in time I'll have to try it to really know .... Nice to see people on here with similar issues though .... Don't feel so alone ...
