for the small amount of advice I do have.

It always helps to be directly approaching people, a significant amount of people will positively react to being directly contacted, so fear really isn't warented

advice for people in berlin: write me!!! * puppy eyes *.... also there is a hackerspace called afra which is to a significant part queer, I go there regularly and the people are nice, its just hard for me to actually make friends/interact with people there because of the before mentioned sensory issues
