Hey everyone, found this site last night after a "lonely people forums" Google search. Yep, that's what I spent my Friday night doing! 
So here goes: My name is James, I recently turned 29 and I live in a village called Lakenheath, in the East of England. It's most famous for hosting this nation's largest US Air Force base. I've lived here since I was 3, when my parents moved here from the US. I've worked in a convenience store as a baker for the last 11 years, ever since I left school. The job is okay for now, but I really dislike living here. Not the UK, just this area. There's just nothing and nobody really here for me, family aside. I'm not happy, but at the same time I'm not completely miserable either (though some people have that impression because I have a miserable or angry looking expression my face, usually. But that's just how my face normally looks!).
I've been introverted my whole life, and despite having little to no real friends, spending most of my time on my own and having little to no desire to engage with the people around me, I know I need to make a positive change. I'm fed up of being on my own so much, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life living like this. I need to start engaging with people however I can, and no matter how awkward I find it all.
One of the things that attracted me to this forum was that I saw people from several different countries posting. I would love to get to know people not just here in the UK, but abroad too. Mostly though, I just love helping people with any issues or problems they have, or just if they need someone to talk to. I don't know what it is, but I love being the person who is there for another person. I think that's the purest form of joy I can experience (Yeah that sounds stupid but it's what I honestly think).
Don't want to write too much, so I'll end it here. Nice to meet you all
