Hi everyone 😊 My name is Mike, I’ve just joined the community and wanted to introduce myself. I’m 28 years old and currently live with my parents, who mean a lot to me and are a big part of my life ❤️
I should also mention that I have selective mutism, so I use my phone to communicate with people. It’s what works best for me and helps me express myself. I mainly talk with my family, as I feel the most comfortable and safe with them, but I do like connecting with others in ways that suit me. It can take me a bit of time, but I’m always open to kind and friendly conversations here 😊
At home, I live with my dog Jess 🐶 and I honestly spend a lot of my time with her. She’s not just a pet, she’s part of the family and means so much to me. One of my favourite things to do is take her out for walks. I really value those moments, especially when it’s quiet and peaceful. It gives me time to relax, clear my mind, and enjoy the fresh air and nature around me 🌿 It’s one of the times I feel most calm.
I also go out for coffee with my parents ☕ It might sound like a small thing, but it really isn’t to me. It’s something I choose to do because I genuinely love spending time with them. Those moments mean a lot, just sitting together, being present, and enjoying each other’s company ❤️
In my spare time, I’m really into gaming 🎮 It’s one of my favourite ways to relax and have fun. I play on both PC and PlayStation, and I like all kinds of games depending on how I feel. Sometimes I want something calm and easy going, and other times I want something more exciting or challenging. Gaming is something that helps me switch off and enjoy myself.
I’m also a big fan of Doctor Who 🚀 I’ve loved it for a long time, and I’ve built up a collection of figures over the years. It’s something that makes me happy and I always enjoy adding to my collection when I can. There’s just something special about it that I really connect with.
Another thing I really enjoy is Lego 🧱 I love building sets and getting stuck into something creative. It helps me focus, keeps my mind busy, and I really like the feeling of finishing a build and seeing what I’ve created. It’s relaxing and rewarding at the same time.
When I’m not at home, I like going to the cinema 🎬 especially to watch sci fi films, as that’s my favourite genre. I love getting lost in different worlds and stories, it’s a great way to escape for a while and experience something new.
I’m really happy to be here and be part of this community ❤️ I might be a bit quiet at first, but I’m looking forward to getting to know people and being part of something positive and welcoming 😊
