I'm currently in 2 meetup.com groups, but I haven't gone to anything yet. All of their meetups are not very plausible for me. They do events VERY far away from me, like several large cities away, so it would be difficult. Also, they do events that I would probably not participate in. One of these days though, I will force myself to go to one. I was once told a saying: "You get out of life what you put into it". And it's true. If you hide away in your home, you can't expect anything to happen good for you. You have to put in the effort to meet people. (I'm saying this, but I am guilty of hermit-ing myself off from the world). I know what I need to do, it is just the doing part of it that is holding me back. I guess I'm afraid.
