To be honest, I’ve never really had to talk about myself before, so I’ll probably be terrible at this. I’m a 19-year-old from Russia, an introvert with ADHD, a massive cinephile, and a photographer.

 

A little about me:

ISTJ/INTP

⚠️ SNOB ALERT⚠️
I can be really nerdy sometimes. /jk

The Introspective Introvert: I’m a thinker and an overthinker. I love self-reflection and overthinking my decisions, hobbies, and psychology in general. Sometimes I can chat effortlessly, and other times I need to retreat and recharge. I can probably seem a bit distant at first, but it’s just my default shell - once I feel safe and comfortable, my soft side comes out. I can be a little complex, but I'm working on it.

Photography: I’m really into landscape, street, conceptual minimalism, and playing with light/shadow. I wouldn’t call myself a pro, and I don't do paid shoots—I just love the process of finding the right composition, moments, and places. (Link to some of my pics & a selfie at the bottom)

Walking & Reflection: Lately, I’ve paused shooting to just walk 5-6 miles ~ three times a week. It’s my ultimate way to clear my mind, reflect, and escape daily burnout.

Cooking: I'm currently learning how to cook. There’s something rewarding about creating a perfect meal from scratch

 

Movies & Books:

I absolutely love good cinema, though I feel like I’ve already watched most of the great ones. Sci-fi, dystopia, fantasy—basically anything with interesting world-building. I appreciate movies not just for the plot, but for the composition, color grading, cinematography, and directing choices.

My favorite movies: How to Train Your Dragon, Léon: The Professional, The Seventh Seal (1957), Come and See (1985), and recently, Project Hail Mary.

Books: I’d love to read more, but realistically, I probably won't until I run out of interesting movies to watch. Still, I’ve read a few great ones. My top picks: Flowers for Algernon, Project Hail Mary (currently on page 556/736), and Fahrenheit 451.

 

Gaming (PC):

I play CS2, PUBG, and Escape from Tarkov. Honestly, I’m not a very sophisticated gamer. Story-driven games bore me, and competitive games are just hard. I’m pretty bad at all three of these, but I enjoy them in my own way:

EFT (700 hrs): I just grind and completely ignore quests and leveling.

PUBG (2000 hrs): I basically just drive around the map enjoying the views.

CS2 (5000+ hrs): Probably the dorkiest thing about me is that I have over 5k hours across my accounts in Counter-Strike (around 1400 ELO), and I still don’t really know how to play this game, lol.

I don't play often now (once a month?) because (I don't know) it's probably going to annoy me because I'll have to Restore my muscle memory lol

About you: emotionally grounding, top / asexual. Emotional grounding and being a bit more proactive matters a lot to me.

If you made it this far and want to chat, feel free to send me a DM!

A quick heads-up on time zones: Because I live on the other side of the globe, I might not reply instantly. When it’s day in the US, it’s night for me, and vice versa. But I will always get back to you! (and after posting this, I'm going to go to sleep and will reply in 8 hours.)
