Anyone else decide not to contact donor?
Post Body

I (23m) found out who my donor was a few months ago and was planning on reaching out when I "felt ready." However, I'm coming to the realization that I don't think I'll ever "feel ready." At first I thought it was just me resisting because the DNA angel I used to find him was kinda pressuring me into reaching out, which I wasn't a huge fan of, but now that I've gone through my donor's social media and know a bit about him I think I'm just disappointed in who he is. I wouldn't say he's a failure or anything (has a good career and his own family) but he just seems...boring. Only really posts about american football and a certain presidential candidate (neither of which I'm a huge fan of). I don't think I'm coping about being afraid of rejection, it just seems like we wouldn't really have much in common and I don't know what I would even get out of contact.

Has anyone else reached out despite feeling like they probably wouldn't get along with their donor? Was it worth it in any way?
