I'm unsure, firstly it sounds good but either friends / browsers will cast aspersions or they might think you are making it up. If you are willing to identify yourself as socially inadequate and declare this on a social 'forum' that is surely a contradiction of terms.

You don't really have to give explanations to anyone.

I don't do Facebook anymore. And if I did, I would not want my real name and identity to be exposed. For me there is no advantage of Facebook over the group but there are several deterrents.

Finally, someone who understands. I guess I'm a bit of a crusader about it though: I'm on a valiant quest to help people understand that the "Holy Pecking Order" is a destructive trap, and not an upward ladder.

I really don't see the point of this. Why bother if you can just discuss stuff here? I don't use facebook anyway and if I did I wouldn't join. I like to stay anonymous on the internet. Strangers don't need to know my real name. I can't imagine any lurkers would want to join. It would probably just end up getting cliquey fast.

I agree, it's quite unnecessary. This place is cliquey enough to begin with, but don't tell anyone I said that! ::p:

(Although it has its merits too, to be fair)

Hum.

Problems.

First problem is that I sometimes add work-type people, and since I'm not in the habit of telling everyone my problems I don't like the idea of them being able to see I'm subscribed to [OMGCRAZYBRAINPROBLEMS] social phobia groups.

Second problem is that I too like anonymity. I've met too many nut-jobs on this site to be wanting to freely give my real name and real information to anyone who joins a group.

Third problem is that groups tend to be intrinsically cliquish. I'm a Marxist in that respect--""I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."

It could be a private group, I don't like the idea that my friends could see that I have social anxiety.

It would be a secret group, not even showing up on your facebook groups and any posts replied to or liked would not appear on your feed.

^If it is going to be a secret group, then I need to change my poll choice from "unsure" to "yes" :thumbup:

I created one a while back, which actually went pretty well. I abandoned it without telling anyone first due to depression, and I wish I hadn't. It wasn't "official" or anything, though, and someone else has since started one which I hear is... interesting.

I think the idea of an official group sounds good, although I'm not sure what makes one group official and another... not official. I know secret groups are supposedly safe, but out of paranoia I might use a separate FB account. I'm not sure yet. Either way I think the group is a good idea.
