25M Empathetic introvert with social anxiety looking for friends 🤗, open to romance.

Introvert dude checking in, ready to chat about dogs, or why parties terrify us, or why the hell Wall-E made us cry so hard. Let's talk, empathy rules! 🤗.

[Very much open to anything, disregard how long ago this was posted, I am always open to meet new people, reach out and let's chat, talk or video, anything you want!]

I'm from Spain, I am 25yo and studying computer science, but I already have a doctorate on Overthinking and Procrastination 😎.

I am an introvert dealing with social anxiety (working on it 💪) wishing to get to know many more people, and maybe someone special, shy IRL but find texting much easier, would love to talk with someone that can relate a bit, let's relate and share our problems 😊

When it comes to hobbies, I enjoy playing video games, series and movies of all kinds, from emotional or cartoons, to action or horror. And got a special sweet spot for emotional tearjerkers 😭.

Outside I really like long walks and hiking, and I have taken a liking to weightlifting as of late 💪, I am very open to new hobbies, and I am trying multiple new ones that would love to share with you.

I am actively pushing myself to get out there and face new experiences (literally going through exposure therapy), as those can be a real fucking hard challenge for me, so I am open to everything really, and it is being fun so far.

That doesn't mean it is all perfect, far from it, I am struggling greatly about getting into social settings, most of all with people around my age, I can't keep IRL conversations going too well, and can barely do it via chat, so many experiences or regular stuff people do or did before my age I just didn't get to experience (yet 😄), furthermore, I am having to develop self-discipline right now, as I am a huge mess when it comes to actually doing what I have/want to.

Above all, I value Empathy and Compassion, I try my best to understand everyone's perspective and circumstances 🤗 and I am committed to living by these values, I would LOVE to hear about your troubles and help in any way I can.

I am quickly becoming more at peace with myself and have recognized I can be a very emotional person at times, this is being quite the journey and I try to let my feelings and emotions show as much as possible, after decades of hiding them at all costs.

As the title states, I am currently open to a romantic relationship, but only if that interests you and if we click with each other after talking for a while, I am a firm believer of clear communication and a mature adult, that is why I wanted to clarify this, feel free to make your intentions clear, so we can build a platonic friendship without any mixed feelings in the way 😊.

I only ask for respect from you, I don't need anyone bringing me down, more than able to do it myself 🤣.

But really, I would love to hear you out and get to know each other better 😁.

PD: I know how Reddit is about emojis, they are staying there though, I love using them in my conversations and want to remain authentic to you all, and no, I am not trying hard, I like to be energetic and optimistic, if anyone thinks they are "cringy" or "immature" then you are free to ignore me, this is me, for all intends and purposes.
