About The Edinburgh Shyness & Social Anxiety Meetup

This meetup is designed to provide a safe haven for anyone who finds normal social situations difficult for whatever reason. you may feel socially isolated through disability, or because of various life experiences that have really knocked your confidence, self esteem, and have made it virtually impossible for you to enjoy the things that others who take socialising for granted do like going to the movies, or walking. It aims for you to do what you like with other like minded people without the fear of being judged, ridiculed, or otherwise excluded. Here you can just be you and each member will respect and celebrate the diversity which exists within the group. Abuse of this tenet will not be tolerated. As the organiser my ideal is that your opinions will be respected. whether you choose to come to meetups, or just communicate by email, you are part of this group. You belong somewhere you can be safe from criticism. It is your group. Make it what you need it to be.
