    Hi c:

    I'm not really sure what to introduce myself as.. my name is Alyssa but I've been thinking about changing it to something like Alex... I'm not sure yet as I really do like Alyssa as well. I guess either is fine!

    I'm new to the site and am basically just looking for a safe space. I'm trying to figure out gender identity and for now, all I'm sure of is that I prefer they/them pronouns.

    I'm also pansexual.

    hopefully someone else would like to introduce themselves here so I don't look awkward haha

    Hi Alyssa. I'm Cam. Welcome to EC.

    The people here are friendly and supportive and it's a great place to discover who you are in a safe and accepting environment.

    Don't worry about looking awkward. There's a lot of us here that are shy and socially awkward.

    Hello Alyssa! Welcome to EC!:slight_smile:

    Have you considered a name that sounds similar Alex, but also more like Alyssa such as Alexi (or, alternate spelling Alexxi)?

    Welcome to EC!
    My sister's name is Alyssa, it means "Joy and Happiness". I see your looking for some safe space and I'm sure you'll find that here, I sure have :grin:

    I hope you figure out who you are, and I hope you have a great time here on EC!
