I stumbled across these forums on one of my "research" days. I have an unquenchable need to know things. I am also I highly conflicted individual....intellectually open minded, but somewhat repressed in practice (probably due to depression/anxiety issues). I look forward to meeting and maybe even learning from you.
Hi I just posted in new people. I relate to what you said about knowledge and also the anxiety of actually making new friends. I have anxiety and depression from PTSD so no friends here because I didn't grow up here and people like me don't fit in here. So I spend my days researching. High school was a blur. GED in my 30's some college before my divorce but if not for my quest to know everything I would be lost. Plus my anxiety I was raised by a very proper GrandMother who preached hell fire for the sinners. So even though I don't believe in hell fire anymore it's hard to shake the Puritan feelings which help keep me alone too. Anyway good luck to you.
Welcome, I'm new here as well. Hope that it becomes a comfortable place to let off steam for you too.
