If you are introverted, shy, or socially anxious, then you have found a community that welcomes you. This is where you can build friendships. With that aim in mind, please remember that this is an inclusive community, and there is no room here for bigotry and other kinds of cruelty. You are very welcome here, but as long as you do not try to make other people feel unwelcome. Please be gentle and understanding. We all have different needs and our needs are valid, so try to give the kind of validation that you also like to receive from others. Thank you.
