For people who are shy or socially anxious it is sometimes difficult to pull themselves out of the house and out of their safe routines. A sister group to The Toronto Shyness and Socially Anxious Support Group Meetup and The Shyness Workshop Meetup - we are an activity group for the extremely shy and socially anxious. We hope to make this a group were people can perhaps relax, foster real friendships and develop a sense of normalcy while in the company of others that experience the same fear of social situations on a daily basis. Together, let’s start experiencing life in spite of our social fears. There are several excellent Meetups that cater to support and self-improvement in the area of social phobia, but here we simply want to give therapy a break.

    "Definitely a timid person. I would like to also try my hand at being an organizer, maybe to get more activities for the people in this group. I've just started doing events with another group but they're specific to movies."
