Plumdodo, 41

I am 28 and have had social anxiety for my whole adult life. I have tried not to let it hold me back and have been to university and am a qualified primary school teacher although the thought of actually teaching as a career turned out to be too much of a challenge.

My friends describe me as kind and loyal and I've learnt to make up for my lack of conversational skills by becoming a great listener.

I enjoy yoga, nature, singing and watching a good film or documentary. I am fun loving and will take any opportunity to act like a kid if there is no one watching! I love solving a problems and am interested in psychology. I do a lot of keep fit but wouldn't say I enjoy it!

I am looking for someone to share my life with. Friendship initially but then maybe more. I would like someone I can have a laugh with and lots of cuddles. I am vegetarian and to find someone else who was veggie would be a bonus but by no means a must.
