Hello there! 

I’m new here. I’m a 31 year old auDHD girly. Video games and fantasy are what I enjoy most as well as spending time with my cat or being out in the green nature. 

I’ve been looking for a safe space with understanding people for a long time as I feel in the real world I always have to mask who I truly am to be more palatable for society, but it is draining and I was starting to feel lost. 

I am quite socially awkward, plus scared to make connections out of fear of rejection or getting hurt, and my ASD can also get in the way, but ultimately I know I still want connection and thought maybe with people who know what it’s like that it might not be so scary and possible to find. 

Thank you for reading! ☺️

Hey @CloudedLight ! Welcome to the forums! Thank you for sharing a little about yourself.

I'm pleased to introduce you to @Captain24 and @Jynx . They may be able to share their experiences with you.

Feel free to have a look at AuDHD Life: Anyone else?

Hey @CloudedLight great to meet you! AuDHD gang checking in hehe I love chatting away about my ND life!! 

Definitely no masking needed here. You'll find many folks who can relate to how exhausting it is to present a certain way to the world! I think another great thing about this community is that there's no pressure to respond right away or in a certain way, you can engage with the space in the way that best suits your needs! This is coming from someone who has struggled a lot in the past with feeling the need to respond right away, to texts or emails or whatever 😅

I also LOVE fantasy... Big D&D nerd over here 😋 Always happy to chat about it, or about ND stuff, or about pretty much anything!! Just tag me whenever you like and I'll respond when I'm next online 💜

@Jynx so lovely to e-meet a fellow auDHDer 🥹

I can totally relate to that! My phone is permanently on silent and doesn’t even vibrate, I feel everyone should have the right to check communications on their own time. I will admit I feel bad for my slow response right now because I’ve been moving the past few days 😮‍💨

Eeeee, I genuinely squealed with excitement over that! I’ve always wanted to get into D&D but I’ve never found anyone that wants to. How long have you been doing it for? 

[CloudedLight]

Thank you @tyme 🥹

[Jynx]

@CloudedLight never any pressure for time frames responding! Especially moving house, oh my stars that's always such a headache! 

My phone doesn't vibrate either lol and I have the setting turned on that screens all calls from unknown numbers 😅 It suits me wonderfully! 

On and off for a couple of years with D&D, I haven't played in a while though! Finding a group to play with is the hardest part I think, that and then trying to find a day when everyone is free! 

Do you have a fav type of class or character to play?
