🧑‍🎨 The Shy-Friendly Hangout: Bring Coloring, Activities, & Meet New Friends

This event at Schuler Books Cafe is a calm, low-pressure space for shy, socially anxious, introverted or lonely people to reconnect with the real world.

Bring coloring books, art supplies, knitting, card games, a Nintendo Switch or any quiet activity that helps you feel comfortable. Having something to focus on makes it much easier to be around people.
No group introductions are required. You can talk, listen, color, play a game or ease in at your own pace.

Many people come once and feel disappointed they did not make close friends right away. The people who keep showing up usually end up making friends over time.

Look for the Meetup sign in the cafe area.

We follow Meetup’s Community Guidelines.
