Now that in-person events are happening again, tech meetups are beginning to cross my radar once more; and so too is the tension between feeling I should go to them to, you know, “make connections” vs. being a shy introvert that rather stays away from others. Fun.
@lmika I always find that if you're with 'your people' it tends to help settle anxieties. You should consider going! Not if it makes you super uncomfortable, but you never know if your next great friend is right around the corner. 🙂
@circustiger Yeah, I think you're right. And I think I also know it'll be good for me to go, which is probably why I'm feeling that "resistance" force keeping it at home. I'll sign up for the next one (the one today that prompted this post is fully booked). Habit can take a back seat for a change. 🙂
