The irony of this thread is quite amusing,
it probably ranks up there with "Agoraphobic's day out!"

Johnno. I think this is a very good idea. There's different levels to Social Anxiety, isn't there?

I don't cope well in group situations but I do try to make it to the event. I also get paranoid about what people think about me and wonder if they talk about me behind my back.

If anyone else is willing to meet up, I would personally consider it.

went to many "meet ups" from the social- anxiety .org.uk site,was great to meet people in the same position.
knowing you wont be judged and people wont question if you stay for half hour n go etc.

we used to call em a social gathering for antisocials

they do take a lot of planning as people always pull out last minute so you do need a few definates so you wont be alone waiting.
maybes go to the site i mentioned and check out meetings thread.

good luck

yeah its pretty silly sounding aint it lol but ijust think for sum people it will be a massive step forward. we are all in the same situation like pete said. i am very nervous with ppl but i want to be helped and help people wit social anxiety av a good friendly structure as i av not no friends (because of the obvious) lol ,and i just feel that together we maybe able to get better by each others help and support and advice.
god i say 'and' too much!
i hope many ppl will be interested because i would rly look forward to mixing wit ppl wit the same problem as me

hi nov,
obviously geography is a big thing in this,so where abouts was you planning?
looking back i think the furthest i went for a meet was nottingham and i live in essex,but i knew a few so it was kinda worth the extra mile for the travel.

let me know sort off location wise and we can go from there

cheers

pete
