Agoraphobia girlie here. :) I say that neither out of pride nor indignation. It's by far the largest obstacle I encounter in developing a loving, long-term relationship. I'm not interested in trapping you at home with me all hours; I'm seeking someone who is a-okay with respecting an anxious woman. I don't mind at all answering questions, and it would also be very useful for you to go over to the agoraphobia sub to get a feel of it for yourself.
Hi! I'm 30 and I love to craft and be creative. My specialty is quilting, though I started crochet last year and it's really growing on me. I dabble in watercolor and plucking my uke. I love playing video games (Stardew Valley ftw!). I would consider it a lovely day to watch someone play an rpg and whip the walkthrough out for them whenever they get stuck or need to know where the secret items are. My friends have gotten me more into games on the PC, so now I'm inexplicably level 43 in Helldivers and passable in Lethal Company.
I like watching movies and TV, currently rewatching Criminal Minds (until Reid goes to Mexico to get secret drugs, then I stop watching it lol). Procedural crime dramas are so good. I'm less inclined to watch the medical ones. I love food and I love eating. If I had unlimited funds I would eat out for every meal and be stuffed every day. I have skill in cooking and baking, but I only get enjoyment out of the baking portion.
When I'm with friends and I'm convinced to go out, we enjoy going out to eat, listening to live music, escapin' escape rooms, and throwing axes. I rarely drink alcohol, but I'm not against it by any means. I moderate that and caffeine in general due to fluctuations in anxiety etc etc. I do not use THC, and I'm not against that generally speaking, either.
I do have a full-time job outside of the house, taking care of the geriatric population of my city. It presents itself with unique challenges, but I find it fulfilling and meaningful to be present at many people's end of life care. I'm an extremely empathetic and charismatic person. I think people make two very extreme generalizations about me, which are either I'm depressed and boring because I stay home most of the time, or that I'm outgoing and cheerful because I'm very good at connecting with elders. I find that it's less accurate to assume both of those things are simultaneously true, and rather than I'm a complex person someone in the between the two assumptions. I am empathetic, I am social, I am creative, I express and feel love deeply. I am scared, I am fearful, I have fluctuations in hormonal emotions, I am vulnerable, I have debilitating insomnia.
I'm looking for a traditional relationship in the sense that I don't mind going to work, coming home, enjoying accepting and dishing out love, going to sleep, and doing it all again the next day. What I enjoy is simple, but don't mistake that for being easy necessarily. I have a lot to give and I'm looking for someone who has a lot to give (non-transactionally).
I'll catch ya later, alligator.
