I have started this group (even though I know there are quite a few already out there) due to the fact that distance is a problem for me. Most of these meet ups will be situated in the East of London and Central London areas.  I am currently going through a depression for a few reasons and it has caused me to become insecure at times, socially anxious and shy. I find it hard to even look into peoples faces at times. Not good! This group is for females in the same boat, who like myself have a lot …
