    Hello peoples! I'm stuck in a homophobic small town and feel kind of trapped not being able to be myself, so I figured why not try this site.

    I'm an awkward, Harry Potter obsessed introvert that's very cynical while somehow still having the ability to be optimistic. I hope to meet a lot of great people! :smilewave

    Hey MrPenguin0..... A warm welcome to EC, it's absolutely brilliant having you here. (*hug*)
    It must be so horrible being stuck in a homophobic small town. I fully understand you feeling kind of trapped and not being able to be yourself. I am so pleased and happy, you did try this site. It is a warm, friendly, reassuring, understanding, and above all, safe place.
    You will meet lots of great people, and oh.... you've met me too. :icon_bigg
    I hope you will enjoy, and feel happy at logging on and coming on EC. Do have fun checking out the forums, and please feel free to message me anytime, if you need any advice, reassurance or just to chat - a friendly vioice basically.
    :welcome:

    Hi I am new too. I am sorry to hear that you live in a homophobic town, that must be so frustrating. I a cynical too and also try to be optimistic. I call it "Finding sunshine in through the storm clouds".
