ohh i see, it's more of the night time events @Rockdog honestly, that makes sense that you feel a bit uneasy, putting yourself out there and making new connections isn't the easiest thing to do! 

i know in some cities there's events that are specifically run so you can meet new people - i think they're more 'dinner events' but even then, it might a nice place to start building confidence/connections. i've been meaning to try one of those types of 'meet new people' events but have chickened out haha its my 2025 goal now. 

do you have a friend who's into band/music as well that you feel comfortable inviting for a night out?

Hey @rav3n ,

That sounds like a good idea to go for dinner. I am the same I chicken out and stay at home. No I don’t have any friends to g9 out with. I have a few friends who have their own life- families etc. No one that is old and single,

Hi @tyme .

it is for me, and is going to happen 😊

Hi  @tyme ,

As you know she is it for me

[rav3n]

hey @Rockdog 

i see what you mean, it is scary putting yourself out there! 

this is something i've been working on with my social anxiety - i basically make a promise to myself like 'attend the event for 5 minutes' - and no matter how its going, i have to stay there for the full 5 minutes. once the 5 mins is up, i can stay longer if i feel like it or i can exit the event and i usually treat myself for surviving it. 

is this something you think you would try? 

[Rockdog]

Hi @rav3n ,

that is a good idea, yes I could try that. Going out is just getting worse for me.

Will get there though. 

[Rockdog]

Hi @tyme,

hope you are going well 😊

[tyme]

Heya @Rockdog ,

How are you!

I'll send you an email soon.

[Rockdog]

Hey @tyme,

Sounds good. Are things going ahead?

Hope you are well. I am going ok, but feeling a bit sad because of life and things are not moving forward. Maybe they aren’t going to. 

[tyme]

Aren't you in the driver's seat? @Rockdog 

You are the one that makes it go forward.

There's no reverse gear in life.
