You also have low self esteem. This is the root of all evil. Try CBT soon my friend 
Have more faith!!

yes i did, i met up at a bar with a group of people and got talking to a nice woman who was older than me but she left and i just went home, i’ve been meaning to do it again but i’ve been busy lately and tbh i am a bit scared of doing it now and idk why.

I went to a few events on couchsurfing.com. I have looked at meetup events, but I’ve never actually gone. I want to, though.

I’m too desperately shy to attend a meetup. I admire people who do, I’m actually envious of them. I really isolate myself a lot.

Even though I am rather high functioning, I still have problems with social awkwardness because of the illness. I can still only socialize so much anyways and I need my alone time. As long as I’m not a complete recluse!

The few events anywhere near my area are not for things I have any interest in.

Zis is fun!! I signed up on couchsurfing 
Not sure yet if i should actually participate 
well, i just joined a social group and it looks like they do a lot of fun things so i asked my friend (who also has problems) if he wants to go with me some time and he is thinking about it, if he says no, i have a couple of other friends i can ask and hopefully someone can go with me as a plus one
I signed up a couple times and received a ton of email! Never went to anything and most cost money anyway 
It is also more appropriate for couples to go together or single people. In my opinion anyway. I wanted to go to some vegan potluck for example, just hesitated. A bunch of single guys and girls were going on Facebook.
I guess, in reality. I am more in the double date brunch 
A LOT of Meetup groups in my area - have been a handful of times - highly recommend it!

I like it. I enjoy the ones best when there is a focus to the group like a lecture or meditation. If it’s just to socialize I’m not interested.
