Thanks atat. There is a local artists/engineers/coders and craftsmen collective I’ve wanted to join. I’ve taken a couple of classes there but it is harder as a non member because someone has to let me in the building leaving me feeling like a dog at the door. The cost per year is reasonable IF I go there at least twice a month. They seem like people like me in a general sense. The drive there makes me anxious but I have done it before.

So many small things hang me up. Yes I usually am glad if I go through with something social. That hump is hard to get over. And I am someone who needs one day a week of alone time.
