I'm hosting a Meetup for Introverts on Feb. 7!

Here's the Meetup.com description:

I'm looking for fellow introverts to hang out with!

The idea is for a low-stress, low-maintenance meetup for people who like to be quiet and who prefer to do quiet, introverted things.

Here's how the meetup works:

We meet in a coffee shop.

We exchange quiet, friendly greetings.

We read/write/sketch/whatever over food and drink while sitting at the same table.

We aren't obligated to fill every spare minute of the meetup with small talk.

But if you want to talk about a specific topic (lighthearted or serious), I'm a willing listener!

We will limit the meetup to small groups. As an introvert, I don't like big loud groups.

It's an unconventional kind of meetup that I think PH Redditors might be interested in :) Remember, it's going to be low-stress and low-maintenance!
