    Asociality

    I struggle with sustaining friendships, it does take a lot of effort and i like a lot of 'me' time. socializing online doesnt put that strain on you to interact then and there, you have time to think and analize whats been said and what you need to say. I struggle to keep a conversation going...

I'm a lot more comfortable going places as it means I'm not crammed into busses and trains with other people, it gives me more freedom. I don't like driving...

    cartoon obsession as an adult

    Cartoons are great I wouldn't watch anything but cartoons until my middle teens. Even now I could happily watch them all day, I admire that someone created that work, all the characters, their personalities and their world. Someone drew it all and I appreciate that skill.
