Hello everybody. My name's Wallace, but you can call me Bubo. I'm a 20 year old guy from the Midwest. I have AvPD, SA, and misophonia. I've always had a very hard time with social situations and have been quite the introvert since I was young, but since graduating high school things have gone into overdrive. At first I didn't notice it since I was battling major depression. Now that I've managed to get it under control with medication, the AvPD and SA are much more evident. I can get out of bed most mornings, but getting out of the house (and away from my dad, my biggest misophonia trigger source)? Nope.
I'm also transgender. It's a struggle no matter where you are, but living in a small town where almost everyone knows you + having SA makes it that much harder. I desperately want to tell people but I don't want to lose people in my life or have to deal with all the questions.
Unfortunately I need to get a job soon, and it looks like I'm going to have to go back to working at the local grocery store (I worked there for a few years before the anxiety became impossible to cope with). :
: Even if I can get do something less person-intensive, I really don't want to deal with my old co-workers asking me all sorts of questions.
Anyway, I really like what I've seen of the community here. It would be really nice to connect with people who have similar experiences. I hope to contribute some good to these forums!
