New to site , just looking for friends and to lear

Hi, im new to this site, all i want is to create new friends, chatmates, and penpals. I am a normal 45 year old man, well as normal can be i guess. i have social anxiety so it is difficult for me to meet people in person..i may not be as educated as most people but im not stupid, i was raised with good morals and good manners i beleive i have a good sense of humor.....i know there are cruel people in this world and im not naive...I'm just really interested in other countries and cultures because i'll probably never be able to travel where i want, i thought this might be a good place to find people to teach me about their countries. as i said i might not be able to use big fancy words and sound intellegent, but i always speak from the heart and think i have a good soul....this is my first ever blog and it prob shows but i gave it a shot so if anyone could help me i'd appriciate and please dont be rough Thank y'all for taking time to read this..take care and God Bless
