SASSY

Social Anxiety & Socially Shy communitY - Rather your just new to the area, you suffer from anxiety or your a tad shy around people or specific types of events.

Starting Monday Feb 14th I will be asking for donations to renw SASSY Orgainizer fees to keep this group going. The group expires Feb 23rd 2011.

The abbreviation for Social Anxiety Disorder is SAD and that is NOT what the goal of this community is. Instead I choose SASSY - simply because sassy is defined as spirited, lively and playful -- those words do describe the goals of this community.


The group is for those who have (any level of) social anxiety or simply just shy. Please add a picture to your profile if you don't have one. It helps SASSY people feel more comfortable in wanting to go to an event and communicate with you in SASSY online & off.

SASSY isn't just a MeetUp group, to me (and hopefully other SASSY members) it's a neighborhood of familiar faces where everyone in the neighborhood feels comfortable sharing, suggesting and receiving suggestions and playing together.

SASSY has four focus points.

1) Sharing - round table type events where people share their own experiences, receive suggestions and or offer possible suggestions.

2) Casual gatherings. These are called Coffee Casuals. We meet in various locations in Los Angeles County (mostly SFV - West Side mostly) and talk about whatever anyone wants to talk about - movies, traffic, hobbies, possible future SASSY events, holidays ect...

3) Social gatherings. These are the events where we get to have a little fun.

4) Resources. Inside the SASSY community you'll find various resources in Files, on the Calendar and on the Message Board. Go to Self Help Videos for personal growth videos from motivational speakers. The link can be found in About SASSY.
