hello, it's my first time using this app, i searched up 'i need to talk to someone' and it came up. i don't really know what to write haha

i'm an autistic 26 year old, i have ehlers danlos syndrome and also adhd. i live on my own with my cat. i don't have many friends (i know a lot of people and am very sociable but i struggle at keeping friendships and end up having no one to talk to).

i'm feeling very terribly lonely. my family doesn't 'believe' i'm autistic and because my chronic illness isn't something you'd notice when you look at me they also don't 'think' i 'have it'.

i don't want to keep ranting, but i'd love to talk to someone. could be about anything.

i like kpop girlgroups, drawing, ceramics (any kind of art really), i'm in college to be a graphic designer (having a rough patch but yeah). i also like the color pink (i have pink hair) and anything cute.

if you've read this far, thank you, and i hope you're having a wonderful day
