We have developed coping strategies through classes, reading books, trial and error. Lets share them !!! One thing we all might have in common is that we have been isolated, and now are searching for new people and experiences but are apprehensive. I hope that we can create an atmosphere of sharing information, experien …

Accounting for roughly only 1-4% of the population, INTJs (Introversion, Intuition, Judging, Thinking) are one of the rarest of the 16 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types. Often referred to as "Masterminds," us INTJs are a peculiar bunch—independent, analytical, rational, creative, pragmatic and logical. Although we possess many enviable qualities, INTJs are also known for being less sociable than most other types. Perhaps being surrounded by like-minded folk will encourage us t …

I created this group as an opportunity for people in Mississauga (and surrounding areas) who are shy or socially anxious to get together and socialize in a safe, non-judgmental setting. As well as share their experiences with shyness/social anxiety and offer each other support. There is a shortage of decent meetups in Mississauga and up until recently, there were absolutely no groups in Mississauga for shy and socially anxious persons. I've been an active member of the Toronto SA meetup scene (i …

This is actually a social -- arts and culture, dining and entertainment, sports and outdoors -- group created for the purpose of inviting people who have isolated themselves because of depression, social anxiety or simply life events to meet and have fun. Once we've isolated ourselves, it's hard, for many reasons, to get out and socialize again, but science has proven that social activity is as effective or even more effective than medication in improving mood, motivation and overall well-being. …

This group idea is sparked through our need to feel more comfortable and understood in life. Most people do not understand how it feels to be depressed and cannot relate. In return, it is challenging for ourselves to explain/describe to friends and family. This disconnection instigates fears of not being normal and further impedes our social anxieties. I am starting the group because we are not abnormal, we see things a little differently, we exist in large numbers and we can help each other. I …
