36M - relaxed, caring, kind, athletic, fun, depressed guy looking to finally build up friendships after years of avoiding it.

Title says it all but may as well elaborate.

I'm a 36 year old guy that grew up in the lower mainland. I've dealt with depression on/off throughout my life and that has slowly led to a smaller and smaller group of very close friends (who I have great relationships with). I've come to realize that I'm not actually as much of an introvert as I thought I was, I was just avoiding the effort of making and maintaining additional friendships because I didn't have the capacity. I'd like to work on expanding my friend network and meeting a few like minded, easy going, fun people to hang out with/chat/get to know.

Interests

I'm a fairly active/athletic person. Climbing (bouldering mainly, not the best but enjoy puttering around), biking, getting into running, hiking, beach walking with my dog, yoga and am open trying most sports/athletics/workouts.

I enjoy reading and watching TV (mainly science fiction and fantasy), play video games, pottery, leather working, and love trying other creative hobbies.

I'm progressive, a good listener, kind, caring empathetic.

Happy to connect over a coffee, beer or activity. Feel free to respond here or message me directly.
