About us
Welcome to Introverted But Social (Women in Their 20s & 30s) — a gentle space for women who want connection, but find socializing a little hard.
This group is for those of us who:
• Feel overwhelmed by loud, high-energy events
• Crave meaningful friendships but don’t know where to start
• Want to meet like-minded women in a calm, welcoming environment
You don’t have to be super outgoing, talkative, or confident to join — just open to showing up, being kind, and connecting in your own way.
💬 What to expect:
Low-pressure, cozy gatherings like…
• Quiet café catchups
• Nature walks or picnic meetups
• games, or “silent” social events (yes, reading together counts!)
This is a judgment-free zone where it’s okay to be quiet, nervous, or unsure — many of us are! We’re here to make it easier, together.
Whether you’ve just moved to town, feel stuck in a lonely season, or simply want deeper friendships with people who “get it” — you’re not alone. 💛
Eventually I will move the group over to Facebook and instagram as meetups charges a subscription so Please follow the group on either Instagram or Facebook links are below
