Some libraries run courses. At least they do in Ireland. Plus there are things like poetry clubs, creative writing clubs, hill walking societies and the likes. More a case of checking out what is available in your home area. There are loads of these groups. It is just a case of finding them. A library would be a good start. Because they might have information on other clubs in your home area. Best of luck with it.

Hi there,

You could try Toastmasters.  I have been a few times and found the people friendly and supportive.  It is very much at your own pace etc.  Plus the bonus of a new skill.

Some places, there are hiking clubs.  I think it would be a really good hobby for somebody with anxiety, because you get out in nature, which a lot of people find refreshing, and you get exercise, which is good for your physical health and helps to reduce stress.

Me, I knit and play video games.  Neither are all that social.

Sports Groups/Teams/Leagues (bowling, swimming, tennis, basketball, soccer, rugby, etc)
Book clubs
Volunteering
Hobby clubs (knitting, collecting, etc)
Art classes (sculpting, writing, pottery, painting)
Singing/Music groups - some Churches have choirs too
Church groups/ministries
Food and wine gatherings
Cooking classes

I joined the Y. That has helped it makes me leave my house. I can't say I have met new people  and have made new friends. I did also joined a ceramics class. I have made friends doing that. It is offered through the parks.

Find a photography club. You share tips and experiences with others and get photo software to work on your photos at home in addition.

I learn languages, and play guitar as a hobby. I would however recommend something for you to do outdoors such as a sport or something.
