I have depression, at least that's what my primary care physician told me. I also took some on-line tests for depression and seemed to have scored highly on it. I also have some anxiety and maybe some social anxiety. I am introverted, so that doesn't help.

I tried Meet Ups before and went for the kind of groups that seemed very fitting for me. They didn't work out. I didn't care very much for the people that went to those things and some groups had no one show up and were cancelled.

I'm not much of a hobbyist. I work out at home (I never liked gyms) and bike ride. I've been in bike riding groups and walking groups. The people were OK but it seemed like they didn't have room for me. I just don't feel comfortable with groups of people I don't know; and every experience I had did not go well. So I gave up because I felt worse in trying than when I didn't bother to go at all.
