I just joined a meetup group in my area

[evi]

Hello - A big step for me. I joined a meetup group in my area. I will be going to my first meeting this Saturday. I'm scared, but I need to meet with other people who are in my position.

Wish me luck!!!

The first step is the most important and the hardest one. So congratulations and good luck!

Oh, good for you evi! I joined one here myself, but of course I've found several reasons not to actually meet up. Let us know how it goes.

Good Luck! I've been meeting up with other people with SA in my area on a weekly basis for the past month and it is actually quite helpful. It's nice to talk to others who can relate directly to the problems you experience and it isn't so bad talking in a group, knowing that everyone else is most likely just as anxious as you are.

I wish they had a meet up group for people around my age around my area.
i never really looked, How does one go about finding a meet up group?

Thank you all for your support. If you would like to find a SA meeting group in your area you can go to this website:


Do something, Learn something, Share something, Change something - Meetup.com

type in "Social Anxiety" under "What Kind of Meetup" and your city and or zip code under "Location". This will get you started.
