    Hi there!

    Hey there! Thank you :) . I hadn't heard of Mugen Souls before so I went ahead and looked it up. The style is really cute. I've been looking for things to sketch lately. Maybe I will try drawing them sometime! Do you enjoy drawing as well?

    Hi there!

    Hello! I don’t think anyone has ever found me fascinating, I will say I’m flattered! There is something very pleasing/liberating about the way pen feels on paper. I used to loathe pens because I get so fixated on even minor errors in my line work. But then I started drawing faces from...

    Hi there!

    The changes in thickness are subtle. These differences are very apparent to me, I think because my eyes are so trained when it comes to this sort of detail. I can understand why it would be difficult to look at the drawing as a whole. For me, studying these lines is exhilarating. I’ve thought...

    Hi there!

    I read that multiple times. It's incredible. Thank for explaining the process so well and sharing the picture. I especially liked: "That is still not what makes this key special and I wonder if even locksmiths would figure it out." Even 'professionals' lack this sort of awareness. There is...

    Hi there!

    You have fascinating perspective. I admire your ability to see something "amazing" where others see "nothing." This is not weird, it is a very positive thing. What you were saying reminded me of a habit I have. I like to take walks, and while on walks (and even indoors sometimes), I have a...

    Hi there!

    I am constantly apologizing to others for not responding to things sooner, coming up with a response can be very exhausting (so I get it, no need to tell me sorry!). I am sorry for overwhelming you. I worry I've been dumping a lot on everyone so far. I struggle with being brief in general! It's...

    People staring at you.

    Actually, I worry a lot about being the one who is staring! In places like restaurants, I do my best to avoid looking at anyone because I don't want to make eye contact. Sometimes, though, I will lift my head and accidentally make eye contact with someone. It's upsetting to me, so I will kind of...

    Hi there!

    It can be so frustrating (hardly a strong enough word) to not be able to explain to others what is going on. This is a situation where I struggle with mutism; if I'm pressed to explain or involved in a confrontation, I often just give up or become totally unable to respond. I was on a week-long...

    Hi there!

    Hey! Thank you, it's nice to meet you as well! :blush: At times, it's been hard for me to accept encouragement from other people in my life (even though it's meant well of course!). I might be expressing how difficult it can be to go places or decide my future, and have it met with something...

    Hi there!

    Hello, it's very nice to meet you! When it comes to MMOs, I used to try every single one that I could download. I've been playing WoW off and on since 2008, and also really like Guild Wars 2, Tera, and La Tale. Others I have played include FFXIV (would like to get back into someday)...

    Hi there!

    Thank you for sharing that experience with me, that must have been so scary. Often, when I get into certain situations (like going to any appointment, dentist included) I get so overwhelmed I get disoriented, and it's hard to comprehend what people are even saying to me. Everything sounds like...

    Hi there!

    My name is Sarah, I’m 26-years-old, and I was diagnosed in September. Since then, I’ve been looking for a place where I can talk to others who are like me. It’s difficult to even get started here; I feel like no matter what I say, I’m never actually expressing myself how I would like to. But I...
