Hello

My name is Kim. I'm 22 years old and live in Sweden, but I was born in Germany and lived there in the beginning of my life. I live in an own one room apartment in a supported housing. My interests are sci-fi, horror and drawing.
I'm diagnosed with (high functioning) autism, SAD, PTSD and depression. I also tend to self-harm.
I don't have any irl friends and have never had one and I had two online friends a couple of years ago, but they just disappeared. As you perhaps can understand I'm not good at the social stuff. But I have a deal with my contact that if I try to be more social I will earn points and when I've reached 100 point he will buy a movie I would like to have. Yes I'm geting a bit bribed, but if I really didn't want to I wouldn't try to be more social.

Thanks SAD is short for social anxiety disorder.
I'm no computer geek, but I do like being online and I am geeky (hey I'm a girl liking sci-fi and horror!).
I didn't know this place existed either but found it on Google
And yes it's easier online. I can be me more easily online and there are less social things to remember and try to understand.
