Hello all,
I already did the survey here, but I thought I'd make my own post to introduce myself. :)
My name is Benjamin, and I am a 19 year old Cape Codder in the good ol' state of Massachusetts. I love it here, and although I want to leave, I will always consider it home.
I enjoy many different things, including but not limited to hiking, walking, reading, writing, some video games, and helping other people.
I am a Christian, but am not too sure about my sexual orientation at this point. Having two different sides telling me that it is ok/not ok doesn't really help, but I still love my faith and will be a Christian until the very end.
I generally do my best to be a good person, but, like everybody, I mess up at times. I can't always be counted on do pay you back, get something in on time, remember to do a certain task, etc. but my boss considers me to be a hard worker. I would like to say that I am a nice person who genuinely cares about those around me. As I stated above, I love to help people. It really brightens my day to know that I did something to bring joy to another person. Whether it is in the form of a compliment, donating my time or possessions, or just being there when they need a shoulder to cry on, I will do it all enthusiastically without regret.
I have also been told that I have an old soul. Being more mature than other kids at times led to many problems throughout my childhood and teenage years. I was ostracized and did not know how to act around other people my age. My social skills were terrible (still working on them) and I really put people off from getting to know me. I was also a bit of a religious fanatic for a while, bringing up Christianity whenever and wherever I felt like it. I've calmed down now, and I don't preach to people anymore. It didn't get me anywhere and alienated me to most other people. All in all though, I am happy with my maturity and looking back, the things I did won't really affect me in my later years.
I, unfortunately, have an abusive father. He wasn't always abusive, and I didn't know about his abusive personality until I went to live with him back in 2005. Up until that point, I hadn't spoken to my father in about three years. All of a sudden, out of the blue, he called me up and basically got me to want to live with him. It was good at first, but I slowly realized that he and my step-mother were being abusive. They would constantly badmouth my mother in front of me and by brother, and when I would do something wrong my step-mother would treat me horribly. After I came to and realized what was going on I was treated worse, suffering mental, verbal, and physical abuse. These terrible things that have happened to me, however, have turned me into a stronger person, and given me experiences that will strengthen me throughout my life. Also, if anyone here has or have had similar problems feel free to get a-hold of me somehow. My Facebook page and e-mail should be in my bio.
I also have some mental disorders, such as ADHD, Tourette Syndrome, OCD, Bi-Polar Disorder, and a few other small things. Again, these things have turned me into a stronger person, and gives me more experience to share with others.
There is much more I could say about myself, but I think I have droned on long enough. In fact, Kudos to you for getting this far. If you have any other questions about me, my disorders, or just want to chat, message me via E-Mail, Facebook, or this site, once I get enough posts to access the private messaging. Looking forward to meeting people on here. Shall be good getting to know you all!
