Hi, my name is Chris and obviously I am new here!
I found this site through a google search and figured I would join up. I am no stranger to online forums but I have a feeling this one is going to be a new experience.
I am 20 years old and live in a small town of less than 2500 people in Minnesota, so I have never really been exposed to the "gay scene" so to speak. I am only out to a few people though most of those people have not been told by my choice (a friend takes it upon himself to tell whomever HE thinks should know...). I am very shy and very inexperienced. I have issues with anxiety and depression and they have really held me back I think. I have very few friends and only one that I am remotely close to.
My main interest is cars, anything to do with cars. I am a member of quite a few car forums. My life really revolves around cars. I am currently going to school to be an auto mechanic, and will likely be going back for auomotive collision repair as well. A few of my other interests include video games, anime, and music.
As I am sure you have figured my situation is a bit unique, as are most I suppose, and presents some challenges for me. A gay person in this field would not be well accepted.
Anyway I hope to have a good stay here and gain some new friends!
