Greetings! A very warm welcome to The London Shyness Social Group. Thank you for joining us.

We are a community group running peer-led social events for Londoners who consider themselves shy / introverted / socially anxious. Here you can meet like-minded people who share similar journeys and interests, have fun together, and make new friends. Many events are tailored to suit our audience in topics and surroundings.

Please be sure to read our Group Rules and Legal Disclaimer. By being a member, you agree to these terms. The terms, and other useful resources, can be found in our group description (click on the "About us..." tab from a computer/laptop, or read the "What we're about" section from mobile/tablet).

|| Our Aim ||
Shyness is contextual and it should always be acknowledged as a two-part statement - there are scenarios of our social life where we feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident; and there are others where we may feel less so. It is the former that defines us, not the latter.

As introverts, we typically enjoy socialising in smaller groups, in quieter and less crowded settings, without overwhelming sensory stimulations such as loud noise or bright lights. Our introversion is a preference, not a weakness.

Understanding and appreciating our shyness and/or introversion empowers us to take control of our social activities and social circles. Some days we may want to challenge ourselves and venture into less comfortable scenarios, other days we may prefer to relax in familiar settings where we can be ourselves without pretence. It's essential to strike a balance between these options.

Our aim is to provide a safe space with a wide variety of social events and clear descriptions of what each event entails. This way, you can choose the most suitable options for yourself and enjoy them in the company of others who are on similar journey.

Kind regards,
Ning
