    Hey guys, Proxima here. I recently found this site and it has been very helpful in some aspects so I decided to join in.
    I am an 18 year old guy from the small country Bulgaria. I can confidently say that I am, in fact, gay. I have come out to close friends only and some people online and am planning to come out to my family when I go to university later this year.
    I'm a pretty chill guy- inbetween an extrovert and an introvert. I love playing video games and hanging out with friends. I also have the bad tendency of procrastinating schoolwork to binge watch some new TV series I've found. :icon_bigg
    In truth, however, I wanted to join because homosexuality is generally frowned upon in my country and so I have little to no contact with other people with my "situation". And while my friends are being extremely supportive (for which I can't be more thankful) it honestly feels lonely from time to time- not having people you can relate with. Therefore I'm hoping I can meet some new people here, make new friends.
    Cheers, and sorry for the wall of text. :lol:

    Welcome to EC! Am also a Dr. Who/ Sherlock fan, but no spoilers because haven't had chance to watch recent Sherlock series around exams! Hope you like it here, it's a great place to meet and make friends with other LGBT people, especially useful if you don't know many LGBT people in real life.
