Hello,
I’m new here and also new to posting on forums.
I’m 20, in college studying cognitive neuroscience.
I’m very different than most people my age. One of those differences I’m reminded of daily is how I don’t like going out and partying. I actually enjoy studying. I don’t talk much outside of class and spend a lot of time in the quiet section of the library. Basically, I hardly socialize but now I want to try. I’m not sure what brought this on.
Something I really like is anime and manga, but I’ve found that it’s a poor common ground to share online. Most forums dedicated to the subject are quite obnoxious. I’m not looking for arguments, trolls or memes.
I’m the type of person who will take ten minutes to carefully write a short email. (I’ve started this post in a Word document so that it’s easy to come back to and edit.) I enjoy writing fiction very much, the content of which I rarely share. I like reading items of non-fiction such as press articles and scientific journals.
I love playing with words and have an off sense of humor that has isolated me at times. However, I don’t want to stick around others and be who I’m not. I’d rather be alone than not myself.
It was hard to get through school with this attitude and stopped going after my first year of high school for social reasons and academic ones too. I was the shy, weird, bored genius-type.
When I turned 16, I started attending community college. I transferred to a four-year college a year ago and haven’t made friends.
I’m not lost wondering why that is.
Um... I think that’s enough information to put out there for now. Feel free to ask me any questions about myself or of my experiences!
