Sarasota/Bradenton- Social Anxiety,Shyness, Avoidant ,Stress 5.00 5.0018
Founded
October 4, 2007

Meet other local people who suffer from Shyness, social phobia or general anxiety.

Must be 21 or older to join.

This group is for people who want to get out more but are socially isolated, find it hard to meet new people, or are Avoidant.

This is not a therapy group, just a social meet up of people with similar issues. We'll use the time to get to know each other and talk about our social phobias.

We would like to meet at a restaurant for a casual dinner once or twice per month. We'll also try to alternate between bookstores, coffee shops, places that are peaceful and easy to feel comfortable in.

Join the group to keep up to date with what we are doing. You will receive e-mails with upcoming meet ups.

      “I work at home and am completely isolated. I spend all day every day alone. I get very nervous when I meet new people, even though I hide it pretty well. I'd just like to meet people like me who have found ways to overcome the anxiety.”
