| Comment | The Cinema and Events group on Meetup.com was a great social life for me back in the day, we'd often see a film that started at 7 pm them have a nice drink after and chat until around 11 pm. Since I rarely go out I would get an Uber cab there and back, avoiding any Friday night random violence. I have bad social anxiety but there was always a host for every meet who was aware of my situation and occasionally asked me a question to include me in the group chat. Since I literally get points on my benefits assessment because I need prompting and encouragement it was literally the perfect match for me. I should there's plenty of fun chatty people in the group too, not just introvert bookworm cinema buffs like me. To help defray what Meetup charges them, there is a very modest £4 a year charge to apply to join but honestly this is a blessing at it deters people who join a million Meetup groups and never go to anything, and also deter those whose priority for community and belonging is so low they aren't even willing to pay £4 a year for a chance at it... |
