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?
