Hello Reddit,

I'm a 26 average sized white guy riddled with social anxiety, so best place to start is making some online friends. I work a full time job as a technician at an electrical company and in my free time I like to play video games and read comics, I dabble in drawing but due to my current living situation I'm at a bit of a standstill with that.

A little story about my recent history, I was in a relationship which lasted for just under 3 years, she ended up cheating on me and ghosting me. As an escape I moved out of my comfort zone into a small studio apartment which although has been very eye opening, overall has been a poor decision because of the lack of space, especially while being in lockdown. Even after being allowed to venture out into the world, due to my mental crutch I have struggled with making new friends and finding a social circle. I did have friends before the move but the toxic nature of that friend group I chose to distance myself from them to better myself in ways I needed to change.

The games I play, most recently I've been trying to recapture some of my childhood with returning to the PS2 era of Mortal Kombat games because that's when I was most comfortable in life. I also play Souls games and occasionally play shooters, Apex being the main.

I'm a big fan of true crime and am a frequent listener to "The Last Podcast on the Left" and other podcast similar to that.

I'm hoping to find people with a similar interest and are open to an online friendship. I'm a general fast replier, once I see a message I feel bad having someone wait so I'm quick to reply. If I've missed some info that you'd like to know please do not hesitate to message with a question, I'm very open about myself.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from some of you.

p.s. this was all typed out on my phone so I'm sorry if that format has janky.
