I was thinking about how some people here may be interested in being pen pals through email or snail mail? Having pen pals can be stressful and anxiety inducing, so I figured that it might be easier for us avoidants to be pen pals with other people who understand if you haven't replied for a long time, and can also talk about mental health with.
We can maybe have a thread be an introduction thread and people who are interested in corresponding can read about potential pen pals and contact them through email or through PMs here on the forum. If someone wants a pen pal, maybe write down some basic info about themselves like their interests and things they'd like to talk about with potential pen pals, and if they're interested in emailing, snail mailing or just casual chatting. I know it's hard to make friends sometimes when you feel pressured to constantly maintain the relationship even when it's hard on your mental health, and I feel like we could all understand each other pretty well on that front.

We encourage you to just use the forums or Tumblr though so there's not too much personal information sharing.
