Discussion Boards

The main UK based Social Anxiety Discussion Board is at www.social-anxiety-community.org

The discussion board is very well established and has been in existence for over 20 years with over 48,000 members in that time. It is well moderated (by moderators who review contentious or inapproriate posts) but there may be a time lag between posts and moderation.

Please note SAUK, and its discussion board, are a separate and external organisation. SAAUK (the charity) cannot be held responsible for any of the posts or content. Please use all the caution you would with any social media site before posting.

UK Meetup Groups

Meetup is a large organisation and there are many Social Anxiety related groups within it.
Some groups also run courses and workshops on particular topics. Meetup users do not need to pay a fee to sign up for the website or attend an event. The only people who pay are those who host a meeting.

Some groups listed below will be a mix of people – including some with shyness or introversion. They may meet (or Zoom) to socialise, chat, or in some cases, work in a more formal and structured manner – see https://www.meetup.com/walk-the-talk/.

Please do not assume that everyone within these groups will have social anxiety – please make contact with the group organisers before an event to make sure the mix of group members is likely to be suitable.

Please note SAAUK cannot be held responsible for any of the groups listed below. Please use all the caution you would with joining any group – especially if planning to physically attend an event.
