Hello, from Nevada :)

[sometimesunaware]

My name is Brittany and I am 29 years old, female, shy and confused by life. I thought by now I would find who I am (isn't that what everyone does?) and I just haven't. I seem to have no real identity other than my name, age and other typical statistics.

I am definitely routine-oriented, very shy when not online and seem to have social anxiety. My brain freezes when asked questions or trying to have a chat with someone in person. It's sad. When online I generally can converse successfully for hours! I do get exhausted after long online chats but in person I get super exhausted from the social experience. I rarely go out into public other than when I have a doctor's appointment (which is very frequent recently), or on the rare occasion I have to go to the pharmacy on my own to pick up a medicine or something like bandaids or something.

I tend not to ever go grocery shopping on my own, and rarely with my mom or dad.

Anyway, I tend to ramble as well. I sometimes have ADHD symptoms (hyper, overly excited about things, can't stick to one subject in conversations or online, etc) When I have the ADHD symptoms I really tend to have much more physical energy (and mental) than I ever do in day to day life. Day to day I am very tired mentally and physically. I have a lot of health problems that I'm working on fixing.

I'm glad to be here and I hope to find a few new friends.

Oh and I am self-diagnosed. I'm a researcher by nature.

Welcome Brittany

I know most people struggle with self-identity at least once in their lifetime. I myself am a bit of a researcher, and love to research ways in which I can improve myself as a person.

I believe the key of finding that self-identity is not simply only in learning to understand who you are (which is important as well), but also creating who you want to be. If you ever feel like talking about it some more, feel free to private message (PM) me.

Thanks, Vanilla. I appreciate it. I'll read more in the forum and then maybe strike up a conversation about it and see if anyone has any hints as to how they helped themselves find who they are.

Hi Brittany and welcome,
This forum is a great non contact sport. To have conversations and share experiences with people who know who your are is exhilarating. Glad you found us

Cheers

Whoa, accept your age and your nationality, I could be reading about myself! And I mean to the letter.

Someone said to me once, that it is a shame people do not take the time to know me, for there is a very intelligent woman behind that exterior. Rather than feel complimented, I felt devastated, for it just confirmed to me, how most view me.

I thought I was just on the first rung of the ladder, with aspergers, but since joining this forum, I come to realise that I am actually on several rungs, but instead of panicking me, it frees me, for at last I know why I have always felt on the outer edge of the human race.
