Hi Ren.
I'm fine, thank you. I suppose you have another busy day ahead of you? Still, you've probably heard the saying, "if you want something done, ask a busy person"? 😄
I know the other forum you mention. I'm also on there. It's a pity this one isn't a bit livelier too, although I've already met a couple of nice people here.
I hope you can make some friends here (as well as there) and learn a bit from everyone, that's what we all can do regardless of age. I only discovered this community just under three years ago, so you've likely had more experience of it, and I know I'm learning all the time.
I admire the fact that you say you're around people, socialising as a way to help with your social anxiety and reaching out to find someone can be scary, but sometimes it's about just pretending to be more confident than we actually feel.
Sometimes, in the past, I've made the mistake of thinking everyone was more together than me, more switched on, but I finally realised that ain't necessarily the case, and that perhaps I had a bit more to offer the world, or to other people too.
I think the way society's been going recently, the politics and everything it's bringing out the bad side in a lot of people and we need to make sure we can balance that somehow, to show love and respect for others.
