So, I guess this is where I talk about myself, right? Ok....here goes.
My name is Dee and I'm either socially repressed or incredibly shy--I don't know which any more. I have trouble making friends and keeping them (Maybe because I expect them to be available when I need them if I know they're not "working") and I go out of my way to be as nice as I can be to any and everyone I meet. I'm a licensed Insurance Producer (I'm proud of that...it only took three months to do...ugh) and I have no idea why I'm in this profession at all. I can't just go up to someone and say "Hi, How are you, how's the family?" or all that BS. I don't shoot the breeze--It's a waste of time in my opinion, especially when I'm so scared of being told to leave for asking something stupid. I don't really talk to people outside of my home because....well, because. I have glaring trust issues with people--it takes me WEEKS of building up the courage to talk about my past to actually talk about it, even though it's supposed to be theraputic.
I'm a Pegasister (I like My Little Pony) and THAT is something I'm not ashamed of at all in my life. I don't watch much TV, not unless you count Netflix as TV. I have a sweet little boy who's 17 months old and a bundle of laughter and love. Normally, that is. He can be a handful, but it's fun to play with him. Anyway--he's a subject I could go on and on about for DAYS.
I love reading and would much rather read than do a job that forces me to interact with people, even if it is a fun job....I just don't have enough in common with anyone to really click with people off the bat.
That brings me to why I'm here...at least in part. I want to make friends and meet people who understand that I'm not trying to be creepy or weird, just myself. Is it so bad to want that personal connection with others and still have the understanding that I'm messed up in the head enough to not want to leave home?

I hope you will feel comfortable here and make some friends!
