Hi. I'm a small indeterminate number of walnuts sitting on the kitchen counter. I'm kidding. I'm Ben. I'm a biological male, and I've often found myself not really here or there. For convenience, I identify as male, but I've never felt particularly attached to the masculine lifestyle or social habit, or even just the masculine identity, and I've often had phases where I wished I was a girl. I'm not a very social person. I have tremendous social anxiety, and because of that, I don't really have any friends. I enjoy singing, taekwondo, and all manner of creative work, especially writing and programming. I'm not so sure why I'm here. I guess I want to share with others the forbidden fruit, as it were. I realize all we here are a bit outside what society is willing to recognize, and so I feel affording one another that missing recognition is an excellent and productive way to cope. You may have also noticed I never stop talking about myself. Sorry about that. Consolidation is not my strong suit. Anyway, yes! Hi!
Welcome to EC, Ben! Very nice to meet you! Don't worry about talking about yourself - the only way to get better is to talk about it. It's encouraged here. See you around the forum!
Hi, Ben! C: You seem very nice! Don't worry, talking about yourself is a great way to get a better understanding of who you are. I really enjoy creative work too, though mostly art. But I like writing from time to time too :3 I hope you like it here, and that you make lots of friends!
Hi Ben ^^ I'm biologically female but identify as male. Ive never been too keen on the masculine lifestyle either though. im a bit of a feminine (though i prefer the term elegant) guy. i dont really know why im here either to be honest, but it seems like a really good place judging from my experience over the past half hour or so.
