Finding Community, 3


If you are drawn to quiet rooms and introspection, dance clubs will not be where you find sustainable community. Being honest and realistic is necessary to finding community.

Without honesty, you force what is unnatural. You grow frustrated and resentful, widening the gap between your core and your outside display (read, the opposite of a sense of belonging).

Experiment with me.

I am weekly impressed with the meet-ups that exist in the world.

For fun, look up your actual interests: https://www.meetup.com/

This is a sample of groups happening this week:

AI & Appetizers
Puzzle meetup and swap
For the introverts and shy group (Online)
Astrology for beginners
Coffee and Chess
Job hunting group
Pugs in the Park
Food Prep 101 (Online)

People are looking for you.

One thought on “Finding Community, 3

  1. This is so interesting to me for several reasons. First, I just published an essay about community today. Also, I never thought about the opposite of community being a lack of sense of belonging, but it’s true. Thanks for this.
