    Hello! Welcome to EC! ^^

    I personally do aspire to be an activist, though Im not sure where or how to start, especially since I have really really terrible social skills.

    Hows it going for you? :slight_smile:

    I use my twitter to get my point across but that's not enough... after Orlando I had a really hard time because I don't live in the US and I couldn't change anything... I'm kinda stuck:icon_conf

    Hi there and welcome to the forum! I would personally recommend getting involved in some organization IRL. As for me, I'm in Amnesty International (Sweden), where I currently do mostly administrative work and the like. It is really rewarding, I think.

    Also, Eris, me being in general quite bad with people doesn't stop me from being an activist! ^_^ Just go for it if you want to is my advice.

    While I have yet to work up the courage to even think of activism, I would enjoy trying it (maybe XD)
