    Hi everyone!

    So, I'm a bit socially awkward, to the point where I don't even talk to people online.
    I've been snooping around the forums, as you do, and you all seem like such nice people, so I thought I'd give it a go (and I might apologise in advance for any wierdness from my part).

    I'm rubbish at this introducing-yourself-thing, whatever I say makes me come off as a total wierdo.

    I've been working with this nonprofit support organisation for a few years now, where I listen to other peoples stories, and I realised I don't really have my own shit figured out. So i went looking and found this place!

    I hope to get to know some of you and.. eh, talk about.. stuff?
    Wow, this is going great..

    Well, anyway, hi! :smilewave

    Hi! Thank you!
    That sounds great, and it's the impression I've got of this place.
    Good to know there's other awkwards (is that a word? It is now) out there! ;P

    I'm so socially awkward (ok and a bit lazy...) that I haven't even written my own introduction yet, and I've been here for months! So kudos to you for actually posting something :thumbsup:

    I hear ya sister! I can definitely relate to tha lazy bit aswell.
    Lazy and socialy incompetent. That's a great combo! hehe :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    I'm generally the one who tippy toes around, just listening in to other poeple. But yeah, I thought I'd give it a go, and if it all blows up i my face, at least noone knows who I am and I can pretend it never happened! :wink:

    I think we're all a bit socially awkward! But being a socially awkward person makes you unique ^_^ Haha. I'm socially awkward as well. I'm pretty anti-social as well. Anyways, nice to meet you! I hope you enjoy your time on here and if you want to talk, please feel free to message me. I would like to talk and meet new people as well :slight_smile:

    Thanks for the friend request and for inspiring me to finally contribute something to the forum. I was going to send you a wall message and then realized you need 10 posts! So I guess it's time to get even more social :icon_eek:

    Wow, I've gone from "socialy incompetent" to "inspiring". This made my day! haha!
    But seriously, don't give the cred away when it so clearly belongs to you! :slight_smile:

    I'm glad you feel like you can like you can get more social. You definitely should, jump in! :slight_smile:

    C'mon hurry and get 10 posts! I want to make friends with you, I've never really met someone who shares my interest for zoology! I used to read huge books on bears, mammals etc. etc. when I was a kid and dream I was an otter! And I also really like history, almost as much as biology! So c'mon honey, I want to wall chat you!

    Hihi, thanks! Actually used to dream about that like every week. It was so alive and I felt like Tranquility Embodied!
    It was even better than that time I realized I was dreaming as I was in the movie Inception - could build anything, build worlds :slight_smile:

    That's weird :confused:. Well I just sent you a friend request - hopefully it'll work this time!

    And it's great to meet someone else who loves zoology. I used to dream about being a platypus or a duck lol
