I'm having trouble connecting well with most people from general friend and r4r groups. I'm 36F/NB. Very chronically ill, autistic, also severe anxiety, depression, cPSTD, OCD. I've had social anxiety since I was a kid. It's hard for me to make friends even though I'm a very open and honest person, but I'm sensitive and can be awkward and intense.

Having an especially rough time at the moment so want to connect in a mutually supportive and meaningful way. Having trouble with small talk, just want a nice connection, ideally long term. But some interests I have are creative writing, cozy gaming, TV, YouTube, science, collecting toys and plush, photography. We can talk about that stuff too.

I'm very leftist and socialist, into LGBTQIA and disability rights, still COVID cautious, atheist, queer. Generally have trouble if folks aren't on a similar page with that stuff because human rights issues are important to me.

Feel free to send a chat request if you think we might get along.
