Meetup for Introverts

Are you an introvert or have some social anxiety?
Believe it or not, many of us do… and we do it anyway…
and then realize it wasn’t so bad!

In my experience, events with activities are the best kind of Meetups for folks new to Meetup or who describe themselves as introverts because you don’t have to worry about carrying on a full conversation. For example, Trivia, Museums, or Tenx9 Storytelling since you can talk about what you’re experiencing, the trivia question, the art, the story, etc.

When you meet someone new at Meetup - nearly every conversation goes the same way and it helps to alleviate some of the stress because people expect these questions…

1) How long have you been in Nashville?
2) Have you done many meetups? / Is this your first with this group?
3) What part of town/neighborhood do you live in? (I don’t ask for more info than this.)
4) What do you do for fun or what are your hobbies/interests?
5) What industry do you work in? (I stay away from asking about specific jobs or companies initially.)

Feel free to add suggestions!
