First social meet

Yesterday I went for the first time to a social craft day, I was pretty quiet through the craft as 2 of them had the conversation throughout the meet also I felt I was been judged while there but I attended to meet more people there was 1 woman I felt connection with as too she was quiet the thing is I attended and designed a pair of snappy jeans too, the organiser invited me to a coffee morning on Friday she said it's a big meet that 1 I will give a miss to as it's soooo big meet.

Re: First social meet

Sounds rather like the social craft group I tried @Spitfire1 . I persevered for a while.

I hope it improves for you.

Re: First social meet

It's hard if you feel judged and used @Spitfire1 . Good communication - so you can be open about your needs and expectations and maybe set some boundaries - might help but sometimes it's hard to have that conversation.
