Anyone in uk like to meet up?

[cocobeware]

Hi i was wondering if anybody from the uk would be interested in meeting up or even if you just want to chat on msn or something that would be good too,I recently met up with somone else on this forum and it went really well,good experience and i would like to do it again if anyone was interested.I keep reading little bits about meets in Manchester and stuff but i don't have any info,does anyone know when the next one is?I'm from Perth,Scotland but i would travel anywhere in the u.k,In fact i love to travel so it just adds to the experience.Anyway my msn is [email protected] don't be shy.lol

SAUK (http://www.social-anxiety-community.org/db/index.php) arranges quite a lot of meet ups in the UK, and a fair few members here are members there also, you could see if they have any meet ups near you?

As far as I know, the majority of meet ups that happen from this site are people who make friends on msn / emails and then arrange to meet up, whereas SAUK has meet ups that anyone can go along to if they fancy it.

I went to a meet last September (I'm 18 ) the only other person there around my age was 23, I found that extremely intimidating, I was the youngest there lol.

I am nearly 18 but not yet so people would think I am a kid most meets are in bars or pubs anyway so I'd have to lie and say I'm 18 anyway :lol:

my main worry is panicking at the meeting or going red, did anyone panick or go red when you met with people? anyone show their SA? makes me feel better if they did :wink:

Some people looked a bit anxious, but everyone seemed less anxious than me but I think it was because it was my first meet, and I do look younger than I am, so I was worried about getting ID'd and drawing even more attention to the fact I was the youngest ect. It's good that everyone didn't seem anxious, because it means that they've got used to meets to a degree and if they have, then newbies like me and you can, but it is intimidating. I wouldn't mind going to another meet, but I would prefer it if it wasn't a pub meet, maybe we should try to arrange a SPW meet lol?

I look young lol, younger than 17 when i have a shave...

Hmm if anyone is actually seriously interested message me, I will turn up but you'd just have to expect not much conversation making from me :lol: been doing nothing so long i haven't got much to talk about apart from stuff when i was <14

I do think a pleasurebeach meet would be good though, gives everyone somthing fun to do and an excuse to for our SA , say its the rides that are scaring us

I can't see anyone actually going but i can dream :wink:

 

[crazyfairyx]

Haha I'd go lol, I haven't been to blackpool in years, maybe we should post on the meeting people forum and see if anyone fancies it?

I know! I was sitting next to you, and wanted to like say something but I just couldn't Was a fairly big meet though, too many people for my liking.

Not so sure about these meets anymore,Don't really like the idea of trying to meet a whole bunch of people i don't know,I think it would probably be best to get to know someone through msn or something first so you sort of get an idea of what there like first.

Probably a good idea, I'm getting to know some people at the moment I might meet up with at some point, the meet I went to, I didn't know many people and it was a bit scary for a first meet.

ditto lol

yeah there were too many, one reason I gone off these big meets, smaller groups of about 3 or 4 I prefer doing

Sounds like a very nice idea indeed, but i guess i would have to get to know people here a bit more as i do get rather easily.

Theres a meet on the 15th july in manchester if anyones interested. ive only been to one but it ws actually pretty good they can be intimidating thou. Remember people are in the same situation as you so dont worry.

 

[Remus]

I'm avoiding that one, theres usually about 30+ go to them 8O

far too many for my liking

I dont live in wales no more...moved to Ireland now i love it here

Am sorry living in Wales did not bring you the happiness and peace that you had hoped for. I really hope that you find your peace in Ireland.
