    Shall I start again? Sure, lets go with that. Hi, I'm Alex. I'm 17 and I associate as a gay male. I'm an incredibly shy person and as a result have only ever made 2 friends in real life and have a very difficult time getting into conversations with anyone. I decided I would use this website to try and curb that habit and get to know some similar ( and perhaps different ) people the world has to offer and join in with some discussion.

    I'm not too tech-savvy, though I taught myself to write in HTML and CSS in less than a few days due to peaking interest in the area. I'm actually a trainee mathematician and theoretical physicist but that is boring so I'll try not to put everyone to sleep.

    My favorite thing to do is simply curl up on my couch with my dog and use my laptop, because I'm not too fond of going out and socializing with new people, but I don't mind it too much.

    My friend and my closest grandparent knows of my sexual identity and I don't prefer to tell new people because, well, I don't exactly meet new people. I wouldn't imagine confronting any of my family about my personal life mainly because I come from an old-fashioned family who still hold prejudice and conservatism strong in their veins and 'different' doesn't exactly flow well with them. Though, maybe one day that will change, but today is not that day.

    I don't really know what else to write here so I'll stop before I begin to drone on. If anyone would just like to talk in comfort, then I'm be both reluctant and ambitious to do so.

    I'll be waiting in the future,
    Compute .

    Hey there ElPanaChevere. Thanks for the welcome. : )
    Hi Lucas, this site is pretty amazing at providing an apt 'out-environment'. I'll be sure to make the most of it.

    Hello there and welcome to Empty Closets :slight_smile:

    I'm sure you will find the support you need here. I don't like going out and socialising all that much either, yay for rainy days spent using a laptop with just our dog for company. *highfive
