I feel a bit awkward talking about it out in the open but basically it stifles my ability to move. I might look healthy(ish) on the outside but on the inside I can be in a lot of pain. There are a bunch of complications with it too and what is worst is that it's never going to get better without...

I'm sorry to hear that, but I can understand where you're coming from entirely since some Meetup groups can be really cliquey (whether they mean to or not). At the same time perhaps they're socially awkward and don't know how to include you? Obviously that isn't going to be the case all of the...

Well done you! It is very much about getting that comfort zone which is really difficult, but then if we're looking for change then we've got to action that change and put up with any uncomfortable feelings about it. Great job :)

Ah, **** it I can't go tonight now, but will do soon. Question still stands, anyone gone solo to events to meet people? If so, how did it go?

I think I might try tonight. Basically put, I've found an event kind of near me where there are likely to be a lot of people sharing similar interests and I'm thinking of venturing out. I've never had a problem interacting with others or making friends initially, but I have troubles with...

And the lovely people that frequent it :)

Yup, we chatted briefly years back I think :) Basically I'm back here because I'm struggling with my health and so it's hard to get out and see people. Subsequently when you don't keep up a social life people tend to forget you and that's how sometimes we end up getting left behind :( I don't...

From one incurable pain sufferer to another, you aren't alone, there are a bunch of us out there but some of us get really good at hiding it. Make sure to do as much nice stuff as you can in life to counterbalance the bad times :) I also hope your treatment pans out well, fingers crossed.

"Bloody hell, I'm here again, how did that happen?"

Depending on date and location I could well be up for this :) (Closer to Manchester the better for me).

Hey bud, please could you edit your post because it's somehow ended up with my name on it as though it's me that visits the working girl. Just wouldn't want someone searching my name and thinking that it was me :) Thanks.

I remember watching a documentary with Louis Theroux a while back about some brothel somewhere in the US. Basically he goes in and gets their side of the story, and it's a pretty enjoyable watch. He is serious when needed, but generally keeps it light-hearted. I haven't watched it for a while...

Before you go down that road with her, make sure that you're honest with yourself before making any decisions. What I mean by this, is that you've got to be honest in that you *are* 100% able to let it go. Because if you're only say 95% over it then you'll be left with that tiny 5% in the back...

That kinda goes back to the age old saying though I guess: 'People who wish to remain friends don't discuss religion or politics.' Kind of lame in some respects but I can see the reasons for it.

This is the third time I started typing out a response, because as I was typing each time, I looked back at what I'd written and I think it looked really negative when really there a lot of positives for some people (I didn't want to go down the totally negative road because that's not me.) One...

Man I can relate to some of that stuff, I hope things turn around for you :)

It's not too bad once you get the hang of it, welcome BTW :)

Hope the anxiety calms down for you soon, and welcome!

Hello from a fellow newb!

The people in this thread would make Derek Zoolander jealous, haha :)
