I'd like to apologize to anyone who has, and/or will, message me. I'm the WORST when it comes to talking to new people...and it has absolutely nothing to do with the other person. I know, I know. "It's not you, It's me." Sounds pretty ridiculous except for the fact that it's true.
I've got a case of social anxiety. It's persistent and whenever anyone new talks to me, my mind shuts down and turns to absolute mush. It's a constant struggle between wanting to be social and my mind yelling at me, "they don't care! Shut up!" It's blocked me from a lot of potential friendships and is off-putting to many. I love that the internet allows me a bit more freedom than in-person interaction (trust me - the scarlet cheeks and ears, the light sheen of sweat, the flailing? Not cute), but even that bit of leeway does nothing for how much of an awkward turtle I am.
So! If you'd like to know more about me, feel free to write me! Comment on here, message me, find me on tumblr - whatever! Just know that it might take a bit of patience for me to open up. I'd like to think I'm worth it <3
