I’m a geek.
The summer before 7th grade I really didn’t care what people thought of me. The summer before Freshman year I realized who I am. I’m not that popular but I have two friends, they just don’t live close anymore.
I’m really shy in class and it’s really hard for me to talk to people so whenever I do talk, it’s usually about school. Talking about that can’t get you far though.
The start of summer before 7th grade both of my friends had moved away, resulting in me having nothing to do over the summer. For the first week, I only played video games and watched tv the whole day. That gets boring. One day I was on YouTube and found anime. Anime replaced my friends for a time, but when school starts I was determined to make some friends. At the start of 7th grade one of my teachers made us pick a card from a bin that will determine our partner.

I am back to playing video games and watching anime at home. Over the summer I found a program called discord. With it I found people that are like me. People that likes anime and video games. We might not have all the same preference but we accept these behaviors. We laughed together, played video games together, and sometimes we all watched anime together. This made me way happier than I’ve ever been in the past 2 years. On discord I can freely talk about my interests. Unlike school I felt a sense of belonging and made me accept who I really am.
Basically, its very hard for me to make friends due to cultural differences. Many times I’ve tried and failed. Sadly, culture doesn’t simply change. It is forged from the experiences we had. At least for me I am guy who is geek and an introvert that likes to watch
