Imma save this comment and come back to it once my mental state is in a better place. Like I said socializing tends to give me panic attacks unless I'm well medicated. My therapist and psychiatrist are helping me get through this. I even brought up your previous comment in my last session so clearly on some level I see merit in it even if my anxiety ridden brain wants to immediately reject everything.

    Hey man, I'm sorry that I did put you in that position with my comments! I thought you were exaggerating about the social anxiety (I've known several people who do) and that it was like myself where the best thing to do is to push past it, be awkward and do whatever it is anyways to build the skills to be less awkward later

    I hope my comments are worth saving and coming back to later! I've had my own thoughts and ideas for running events in my community but I have my own challenges I should work on before undertaking such a project. But I did dump a basic framework for creating an event based on my experience volunteering at a few nonprofits and helping them run events so maybe there's something there?

    Thanks. It's a problem I've dealt with most of my life that lead to me never really having friends outside a few people I talk to via text in group chats. Last year I decided to start seeking help to make my life a bit easier and it has helped, but waiting till I was 30 to work on socializing instead of doing it when I was in school has made it hard to actually make friends with people that live near me and not several states away.
