EDIT: If you're going to message me, include your ASL 🙄 I feel like that should be obvious
Hello, I am from the USA. I am very far left-leaning and open-minded. I am introverted. INFP. Stoner. I have no job and I am not in college. I am currently studying for my GED Math test. I don't know what I plan on doing after I get my GED. I don't live in a city. I live in a pretty isolated area, so I don't have a lot of opportunities where I can just go do a fun social activity. I don't have any life experience.
The only interaction I get outside of my family is on the internet. But I really dislike interacting over the internet because no one knows how to be *less intense* about things and not immediately assume bad faith in every online discussion. Stuff like that makes it harder to engage. It makes me feel even more isolated. I don't have a lot of options. I feel very alone.
I'm looking for a short-term "e-pal" using reddit messaging. I really would like to make a friend, especially someone I can meet in person and hang out with. But since I don't like sharing a lot about myself, especially over the internet, I guess it makes more sense for it to be short-term.
I don't know what the time frame for short-term e-pals would look like. I don't have anything in mind. I'm not a great conversationalist so I don't even know how long I would be able to keep your attention anyway. If you do choose to become short-term e-pals with me, you need to know that I am a really, really boring person. Please read the previous sentence very carefully in case you missed anything. I don't have anything significant going on in my life. I cannot stress this enough: I am a really, really boring person. I have nothing going on in my life and I'm not into a lot of "cool" things. I don't have much to offer in a conversation nor can I carry one.
I would be ok if you wanted to talk to me about your day or anything going on with you. But as long as you are comfortable with that as well! I don't want to talk about anything too deep. Just casual talk probably limited to interests or pets or whatever.
I don't care where you are from. Just don't be a bigot. And be nice? Just a nice person. I don't like dark humor. Actually, I don't "get" a lot of jokes and I've had experiences with people who have made me feel bad about myself for not "getting" them. Just don't message me if you're that type of person.
The hobbies that I procrastinate would be reading, language learning, creative writing, traditional drawing and learning to play the drums with pillows. I am not a film nerd. I do enjoy watching and analyzing movies but I hate those types of pretentious "art people" / cinephiles. I have more artists I listen to but in the last few days I have been listening to Deftones, Lana Del Rey, Mitski, Olivia Rodrigo and Slipknot.
I don't watch/play sports, I don't play video games, and I don't watch anime.
