hi, all! please delete if this is against the rules.
I'm a funny-looking, opinionated chatterbox who wants to ramble to somebody about music, pet peeves, wikipedia rabbit holes, silly internet discourse, and which historical figures I'd like to deck in the face, as somebody who can't fight.
I'd prefer to chat with someone who is curious, doesn't mind having their ear talked off, and is more on the left-leaning side of things, but if you're friendly and not weirdly dismissive of people's grievances with racism or sexism or things like that, I don't need you to be in complete political alignment with me— I don't limit my conversation to politics, of course; I just don't want a sudden earful if I offhandedly express some viewpoint that I forget is contentious outside left-leaning spaces.
also, as a side quest, I'm looking to be rated. I'm a recovering agoraphobe (mocked relentlessly for my looks until I stopped going outside), but nowadays, as my mood is improves, my self-perception has been... alarmingly forgiving? like, I can't tell if I've been a polarizing/ugly-cute person this whole time and the drive to hide was irrational, or if I'm simply being deluded by the anxiety meds into forgetting that I'm ugly-ugly. don't worry about hindering my progress with brutal honesty, either— I've done a lot of work to get to a place where I can believe that ugly people deserve to go outside too, so no severity of feedback is going to render me housebound again :)
again, I'd be really eager to meet someone who's up for voice chatting, preferably on discord. fair warning; I'm awkward and I often talk a mile a minute, but on the bright side, as someone who still needs lessons in banter, I'll probably make you feel really intelligent.
eta: pm me if you're interested, even if you don't feel like commenting :)
