    Hello...

    :icon_redf

    I don't currently have a suitable name and am more than a little nervous about posting here. I am 24 years old, though I usually forget it. I joined here because I am hoping to find friends (outside my therapist) who I can feel "myself" around. Something easier done on an anonymous environment. I am pansexual, preferring the big picture of a person over the individual parts, however this is not what brings me discomfort. I am gender fluid, and trying to find a place where I can fit in this world. It is a scary world to be different, something which I often am reminded of when searching for more information on the internet. I was originally hoping for a very specialized forum for non-binaries such as myself, however emptyclosets appears to be the only would be haven that reliably turns up. It seems it should be worth a shot at least.

    If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free. I may not answer.

    It is also apparently super late and I wasted too long debating on if i should post. In my more tired/confident self I wish to add that I really enjoy being awesome enough to break the mold despite the fears, and look forward to meeting other awesome people.


    Now I shall go cower until i fall asleep....

    Hi ChasingSente! Its a really smart move to choose to join EC :slight_smile: People here are VERY accepting and VERY friendly and VERY helpful! So dont be shy in asking around members :slight_smile: If you need someone to talk to, you can post anything on my wall and I'll reply ASAP.

    I peaked at your About Me and I must say that we two would be good friends :slight_smile: Enjoy!

    Welcome and thanks for the intro. EC is a place where you can be yourself and ask questions about your sexuality or gender identity. We don't all fit in neat little boxes, so if you have questions, feel free to ask.

    Thank you! After exploring a little more I feel a lot more comfortable with the forums now. Anonymity of the internet helps.
