I ended up getting a decent gaming computer a few months back so I could start playing another game that is basically Sim City but much better. Figures since I used to blow like $1200 a month on booze I could treat myself. Definately worth it for me as nerdy gaming has become a thing for me. I’m an extrovert at work and also in My head, but my me time is all about me!
Sometimes, I find, you stumble across a piece of writing, and feel as though it was written for you. For me, it was reading this… So thank you for sharing! I too find it easier to articulate myself through writing, although people tell me that I am very confident and outgoing, it seems my insides and outsides contradict themselves. I drank and used because of my low self confidence, to make me feel like I was “enough” and part of the crowd. I have those days too where I feel as though I WI feel this melancholy forever, and almost always, I feel better the next day. This forum is fantastic, I am also new, and so grateful to read all the stories as they are so relatable! Have a good weekend everyone!
Wow! I love the way you put this. “I may not choose which thoughts enter my mind, but I can choose which ones are allowed to stay. I can choose which ones ultimately prevail.” I needed this, I find strength in this statement.

Thank you for the lovely appreciation!
Isn’t it interesting to learn how others perceive you? While many people recognize my quietness as shyness, a few have told me that they find me to be very mysterious and an unfortunate handful have actually told me “I thought you were retarded when we first met.” 
Anyhow, I’m glad you’ve found a place where people can relate to you! It’s a good feeling.
