🧑‍💻 Make Friends Online with Other Shy People Worldwide 🌐

Are you shy and looking for a safe place to practice being on camera and talking with people?

Come join us for an open style chat with people from all over the world. We will open many breakout rooms so that people can chat in smaller groups.

We will be chatting about various techniques and methods to overcome shyness/social anxiety and improve your communication skills in the main room

As always, the only rule is to be kind and respectful to everyone. Although we come from different countries, cultures, and lifestyles, we agree to treat each other with kindness and respect 🕊️.

New people must come on camera and show their faces temporarily 📸. This makes it a safe place for everyone. You can do this privately if you are uncomfortable being on camera 🛡️.

ABOUT OUR HOST

David Good had his software development career taken away from him by a car accident and a subsequent illness. He became the only social anxiety coach that has earned recognition by the President of the United States.

To find a new purpose and to give renewed meaning to his life, David founded the non-partisan, not-for-profit International Friend Connection (IFC) in 2014, a community dedicated to helping people overcome social anxiety through online and in-person events.

Today, the IFC has forty-seven chapters and thirty-five thousand members in cities all over the world through the Meetup Platform. For his work in building such a diverse, inclusive, and supportive community, David was appointed by Meetup CEO David Siegel as the founding brand ambassador for Meetup in 2023.

After helping thousands of people beat social anxiety, David Good founded “The Friend Magnet,” a six-week program designed to help those with social anxiety overcome their condition by developing psychological resilience, a growth mindset, emotional intelligence, and real-life social skills.

Over the past nine years, his endeavors have been acknowledged with recognition from the President of the United States and was named a Point of Light award winner by the Points of Light Foundation, established by former President George H.W. Bush. David’s passion for solving the social isolation and loneliness crisis continues to this day, inspired by a goal of helping connect one million people over the next ten years.
