hi guys! my name's Ryan 
17 from southeast England with a love for quirky/cosy literature and music. I have pretty nasty depression and social anxiety, and also suspect that I might have "quiet" BPD and AvPD, which is why I joined this place. Also disabled with severe allergies and asexual -- but I figure I might as well talk about something more positive now LOL. Here's some more specifics w/r/t my interests:
lmk if we have anything common, or just ask me about any of my interests if they interest you too! have a nice day

Also disabled with severe allergies and asexual -- but I figure I might as well talk about something more positive now LOL. Here's some more specifics w/r/t my interests:
- my favourite authors are Italo Calvino (hence the username!), David Foster Wallace, Walt Whitman, Rumi and Jack Kerouac
- my music taste is quite eclectic. my surface-level favourites are RHCP, TWICE, ILLIT, Faye Wong and Coldplay, however...
- my more obscure favourite include Animal Collective, Japanese Breakfast, Beach House, Pavement, Guided by Voices, Interpol, Spacemen 3, Captain Beefheart and the Durutti Column!
- computer science. i've been a big linux nerd for 3 years
- (radical) feminism! I have a lot of Dworkin on my reading list and try to keep up with feminist circles on social media when I can

I also struggle with depression and social anxiety myself so I can kind of understand what it's like in some ways. I just want to remind you that we're always here for you if you ever want to talk - whether that's about heavy stuff, interests or anything else
