My therapist has repeatedly encouraged me to join some kind of club or a meetup group or do a class to get me out of the house and meet people, maybe even make some friends.
I see the point and there are classes I would find interesting, but the thought of going to one of these by myself is just too daunting. I find it difficult not to assume people tend to join these things with a friend and I don’t want to be the weird guy on his own.
Have any of you gone to these things by yourself? Do people really do that?
I've attended Meet-ups, I've joined Political Parties and Trade unions, i've been to cafes, pubs, clubs and gigs. And after all that I've still ended up sat alone in a room. You should try things though. You're more likely to meet a partner if you are out and about and being social.

100% more likely than sitting alone at home like I have been for the last few years! Now I just need to figure out what the heck to say if I’m lucky enough to meet anyone friendly…
I will go, whether anyone else likes it or not. They don't call me Mellowjian for nothing.
Go sister
It's tough to be a woman at Christmas. Or at any other time really. I nearly posted a Kate Bush song but I thought you might think I was taking the piss.
I just finished my Dinner. How's your Christmas Day going?
It's all quiet on the Western Front again here now
Our 2 guests, that temporarily became 3, have now left and all the talking has ended.
Phew.
Thankyou Debbie. Merry Christmas. I just finished my Dinner. How's your Christmas Day going?
I hope to make a few more steps towards the rest of the world in 2024.
All the best for this M.
It's been almost a decade since I was physically intimate with anyone. I am way too comfortable being reclusive. I hope to make a few more steps towards the rest of the world in 2024.
