Hell,this is going to make me sound SO old
...I did have to deal with it 20years ago.I used to think that I was THE only person in the world like this and suppressed my feelings for so many years..true,the internet and this site have made a big difference
Sad but true, there are a small number of us, but at least we have sites like this and the wider internet to help us figure it all out. Imagine dealing with this 20 years ago! I think you'd have to be extremely lucky to meet someone in real life outside of FF who was into all this stuff, but that is what this site is good for, bringing like minded people together.
There are always meet up's / events going on. The next UK one being the BGP event in London on 7th May. So it is possible to meet real people, in real life who love all this stuff
