Where can I meet people?

Posted on 10/07/08, 02:24 pm

I have a pretty boring life, too much work and no fun. I would like to go to a club to dance, but I am afraid of going alone. I have social anxiety. I don't have any friends or someone who would go with me. Where could I start socializing with people? I need a small environment that I would enjoy.

  i think you should start volunteer work. pick volunteer work that interests you like an animal shelter or nursing home, whatever you want. you would be helping and socializing with new people. you could build your confidence. take care.

  I would like to volunteer in a place where it is fun to be at, and at the same time positive people with goals would visit. Like a university or College, but which part of the college or university?

  well... you could do many different parts of the college... the day cares or library or resource room.. many different things just call them or go there and they are soooooo nice and will give you all the information you need :)

Hello, I'm Gen82 and suffer from social anxiety (SAD). I noticed there wasn't any group that specifically addressed this disorder at the time so I started my own. Social Anxiety is a term used to describe an experience of anxiety (emotional discomfort, fear, apprehension or worry) regarding social situations and being negatively evaluated by other people.
