Lonlier around others

I went to the pub tonight for the first time in a year and I felt so boring, out of place and as if I've nothing to offer. I feel so different from everyone else

I know its the norm to go out on an evening and I'd love to be that person but it's just not me and I wish I hadn't tried as I feel rubbish about myself now

Why not try Meetup.com and join some of the interesting groups near to you? There's everything from book clubs, coffee meets, dinners, pub meets and specialist nerdy groups for any special interests you might have. You just add yourself to whatever meetups that look interesting and you'll probably not be the only newcomer. Try a few until you find where you fit.

The idea of a meet up with unknown people is terrifying! I just don't think socialing is for me!

I understand - but I've found them all very welcoming and accepting.

Thank you for the idea but that situation would be very stressful for me. I appreciate we are all different!

But when you turn up to a new event, odds are no-one knows anyone - you're all in the same boat - it's actually very low stress - you don't have to commit to anything and you can leave when you want.
