Hi everyone!

Before anything, please, forgive horrible English, as I do not use it as often as I should.

So what`s up guys? :) i`m... not so good in the sharing department. There`s much id hate to admit about myself, so please forgive me if I what i`m saying be seem a tad vague, at times. So... here`s how it goes.

My situation in life is pretty terrible for someone in my age. I`m pushing thirty, i`m living off, of my disability claim. I literally have no friends (not even online), no job, no formal academic education, no real family id care to mention, and my insecurity is as bad as a teenager`s. Not to mention that I look like.. s * * **. Ive... basically been out of touch with the outside world for about, humm... I think its something like ten years now. I guess that you can say that my situation is.. humm.. less than ideal. Over the years ive had to develop various methods of keeping myself keen, and stay intellectually stimulated (reading books, scientific articles, watching movies, documentaries, playing PC games, playing music, teaching myself amateur production, video editing, graphic design). Pretty much anything that will keep my mind going. You know... so that I wont "lose it". Which is not the easiest thing to do, being as I get bored really fast (both from people, and activities, as one).

Anyway. Ive learned that people usually don't respond to long threads, so for now all I have to say is that I hope that I will be accepted into this community! ive.. tried out many other forums, none of which ever really lived up to my expectations (activity wise). Not to mention that ive been bullied out a lot - to the point where I have become quite suspicious of people, and will not share personal information, my whereabouts, and real name etc. And in case your wondering, no, I don`t have a Facebook (and I would never want one), and if it wasn't for my condition, I would never go online.

Anyway. I`m alot friendlier than I seem here, so.. ill shut up for now.
Pleased to meet you all! :)

I always think that a support group is a good way to improve something. You stay there anonymous, don't have to pay anything, don't have to wait, can leave whenever you want to...

Unfortunately, there are no such things in my intimidate vicinity :( from what I know, the closest thing to that in my area are two bid AA meetings, which are hosted at some random guys basement. So... yeah. Sadly i`m afraid that being online in places like this is the only thing I can do, at the moment. So far i`m still unsure about this place because it doesn't seem very active. But hey, its only my first day here, so ill be fair, and give this place about a week, before seeing if I have to move on.

this place isn't really all that active, but it's something. makes me feel somewhat better to have some humans on the other end of the computer, and sometimes there's a sort of conversation between me and them.
toad is my favorite character from mario :) !!!

Hey! Welcome

By the way, your life seems very fun. Lots of creative activities :) So that's a good thing.
You said your situation is terrible but you are still young; do you have any goals? Anything you want to try or achieve?

Yes ive noticed that this place is lacking in activity. Though i`m hoping that maybe if I get active, than more people will notice me, and perhaps choose to talk to me as well. I`m sure that there are plenty of people here who think exactly like me and you, but choose to keep to themselves. Those are the people who i`m hoping to find

And when it comes to super Mario, I personally like Luigi the best. But yeah the toad is cool as well :)

Than should I take this as an open invitation for a trade? :giggle: and I don`t think that i`m young because for me thirty is a big number, and its too close for comfort. Unless of course much older than me, than I could understand where your coming from. And no, i`m afraid I have no real goals. Ive entertained ideas, but as for something practical, i`m afraid that its rather pointless. Ive been alone for too long, and have lost all faith in my self, and in my ability`s. And no one has ever cared enough to help me prove otherwise, so... yeah I guess that you can say that I am nothing. But its okay. At least I know that if I should somehow met my end, I will not be missed. That`s the closest thing I have to a comfort, so... i`m not sure what most people are like in this place, but am optimist, I am not. Clearly lol.

wOAh you play alOt. i just play for fun :) though I have sound recorded a few piano songs and have had my grandad video some too-these are ones i've made up and don't wanna forget them. but i haven't done that to all my originals. most of my originals are simple, but i also have made some arrangements of other songs. i don't remember if i recorded any of those though...:\

3 in a row! you said you don't speak english as often as you should-what do you speak the most? and it's interesting that all of your apostrophes are backwards. hmmmm...

what if you tried making youtube videos of teaching how to play a song on one of your many instruments you play? that can help you get 'more in touch with the outside world'

Well, to answer all your posts, if you ever get interested in recording yourself, let me know, and ill be gladly to talk you through it :)

And I mostly play bass guitar. Though i`m also good with a cello.

Oh. And about my "apostrophes". Please, pardon my ignorance, but what does that mean? lol. And yes ive thought about making a tutorial or two for more advanced guitar players, as well as teaching people how to work properly with drum samplers, and other VST`s. But.. well.. lets just say that a face like mine, is best kept outta the spotlight. This is also one of the main reasons as to why I don`t have a facebook XD.

Oh. And sorry about not telling you about my native tongue. That`s... not something I intend to share on the spot. Maybe if ill get to know you better though! :)
