I'm shy, paralyzingly shy. Yet I love people lol. Twice now I've driven to the location of our closest Munch. Twice now I've just sat in the parking lot because actually walking in, actually finding the group and actually introducing myself freaks me out. I've actually contemplated hiring some whacko stranger to walk in with me lol. I get all tangled up in 'what do I wear to present the PERFECT image? wtf is my image?? what if no one likes meeee or even worse what if they do and want to do stuff with me'. I worry because I have to cancel things often due to my health, I don't drink alcohol so bars are boring to me and I can't drive in an unfamiliar place at night because I can't see well. I can feeel this...totally It was a long time ago when I got into the local scene here in Toronto, I was online, chatting, into the kink, read a lot of sites, got into books, hooked up with my sub(online), I decided I wanted to get to some munches, but yeah I used to go everywhere on my own, it never phased me, but Toronto was a new city to me ( at the time). One of the guys close to me geographically was having the same issue, wanted to make that first step into the "community" but he had a secret, he was a CD, we became friendly and went out for coffee a few times, then we decided that we would go to a munch together. we cancelled on each other twice before we did it. Long story short, within a year we had our own munch outside of the downtown core, and it lasted four years, we welcomed people from online and trans friendly also male sub friendly as they were often ostracised at other munches, people who had never been to a munch before, we used to meet them, give them a tour, talk to them and intro them to others who were regulars and good people. We would meet them at other munches to intro them to other people with their particular kink. It was a fun hectic time, until the political stuff started happening. Then I got sick from stress, my own business, and family etc etc, i stopped going out....FF ten years, When Im with my pet, I can go to a munch, I can play in any dungeon, I can get nekid, I play top and bottom with my pet, we both like similar "things" On my own? nope not happening, after being out of the local scene for so long it will be like being a newbie again, even tho I know many people locally still, it doesnt terrify me, its worse, I make excuses for not going, get pissed at myself for not just doing it, I tend towards recluse, but I know I should get out again locally. IS there anyone you can go with that you know ? it does make things easier, well it did for me, and it may well be what I have to do in the near future. Sorry for the rambling:) but it just rang a bell for what Ive done before and hope to do again soon, good luck hon
