Hello all you beautiful people, I am glad you are here.

Who is this Hub for? This Hub is for anyone who finds modern social life daunting. It's a place to vent, forge low-stakes connections, and most importantly, a secure space to simply be yourself without judgment. Whether you've been officially diagnosed, suspect you may be dealing with these issues, or are simply seeking resources and understanding, this space is here for you.

Who runs this Hub? This Hub is created, moderated by a socialphobe who has spent several years to find their own spot in this world, and wants to help others' find their way in life, so they can feel save and fulfilled.

Why this Hub was created I realise it is a bit ironic to create a space on a social platform for people who struggle with being social. But I still feel it's relevant to have online spaces where people with anxieties can feel safer and can find community, connection and understanding.

So please feel welcome! Since this is a new Hub and not fully formed yet, I am always open to feedback, criticisms and inspirations. Feel free to reach out to me via DM or Post.

I wish everyone a nice time :)

Hello, I have SA and I struggle with connecting with people. I have gotten more motivated to find some place where I belong. I tried Discord but found it with little pros and kept seeing servers shut down. I tried looking for in-person events and there hardly are enough let alone any for things I'm interested in. I've been putting off online dating due to my reservation for those platforms are inherently not privacy-focused. I sometimes game but I mostly surf web and really am a homebody.
