Introduce yourself

Hey! One of the members suggested for there to be an "introduction"-thread, and I agreed, so therefore I'll post this.

Hey, I'm V, although that's not my real name of course. I'm a guy who is actually mildly autistic, per an official diagnosis, but despite some shyness, I do not feel that defines me as a person. I have many interests, which I often follow obsessively, almost. Politics and elections I love, to the extent that I know many election results from various countries and names of various state leaders ans Governors in the U.S., which is a bit weird I'll admit. I also like some comedic TV-series, some series, films (I'm not going to list them, because its a lot if I do), and especially games. Action-RPG's being a preferred category, although a few plattform games also has appeal.

I sort of like the odd film every now and then, like "The Phantom of the Opera", even though muscials is not really my thing. But of course, the theatrical is something I am fond of at times.  And as a child, I was intrigiued by comics and cartoons, watching a lot of them. Relevant to this forum, Ducktales Quackpack, come to mind. And a series about Goofy and his son. Not sure of the name. I read a lot of Donald Duck and watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the 2003 version, but as I grew up, my interest in comics weren't fully that strong anymore, though I still honor a lot of them. And I did like Lion's King when I watched it six years ago, so I can still find enjoyment in animation and cartoons, and has considered rewatching some.

The members of this forum and project, know me to various extents already. I generally like persons to be kind, humble, and open-minded, and like enthusiasm, as well as having a certain depth to them. I appreciate my friends, and sort of wants everyone well, but at the same realizes that actions net consequences, and thus do not feel like condoning people doing things which hurt others, often caring more for those who feel left out, than those who think they're entitled to it all. At the same time, I do not easily judge persons, often believing that various personal conflicts comes mostly from misunderstandings, trying to see the good in most people. Every now and then, I come across a person who does not have much good in them, but that's not often, and I have seldom to never encountered it online, as far as I know of. I'm very forgiving and willing to reconcile, and do not care for grudges, preferring to move on, and create a better future instead.

I'm semi-religious though I do not follow any doctrine and somewhat spiritual, and can enjoy philosophy, but mostly about the meaning of things etc..

For me, an idea, which I feel is right, is something I pursue, and I do not give up until I feel it is right to do so. Thus, an idea can be there for a long time, not letting go before time is right, as I like to view it.

I like to help people and talk about various things, offering advise to those who need it, as there are some who seek it from me. I also enjoy history a lot, and reads a few biographies, and a lot of political and sometimes even military history.

For me, things are generally going well, as I take an optimistic approach, acknowledging that difficulties and challenges do exist, and that they sometimes can be hard to overcome, but also relying on a sort of inner strength to always stay focused and overcome them. In a way gradually upgrading myself for each challenge I overcome. And also likes to see other persons develop and deal with their challenges, finding it impressive. I do accept that people sometimes need to vent out, but do not like if people start saying that they have had it so much more difficult than others, and thus deserves more sympathy, feeling that most people have tough periods or challenges, but also knowing that most are possible to overcome. At the same time, I know not everyone has the resources or the ability to do so, and thus can feel sympathy, if it is deserved.

Despite my calm personality, and politeness, I can sometimes be annoyed or frustrated, and was actually prone to outbursts of anger many years ago, due to a difficult youth in terms of school. As time went on however, that have become more and more rare, as more and more good and encouraging things have occurred. I always appreciate those who help me, no matter how, and I appreciate the world around me. My self-esteem is good, and I generally try to encourage others to follow their dreams and ignore jealous individuals who attempts the opposite. There has been some tough periods, and many challenges to overcome, but as I have done that, I have grown as a person. And I enjoy seeing other persons grow too, always hoping that they make it somehow, in the pursuit of their dreams. Knowing of the potential in many, but also that everyone needs time to grow and find out who they really are.

And of course, I like pizza and chocolate.
