Many people feel isolated or unsure how to meet new friends. The Social Circle offers a welcoming group for adults ages 20 to 30 who want more connection, less anxiety, and a place to practice being around others. It is not about strict social rules or pushing anyone to be outgoing. Participants show up as they are and try out conversation skills in a calm setting while exploring habits that can make mingling tougher, like overthinking, pulling away, or worrying about being judged. Over the course of the group, attendees work on feeling more comfortable and confident in social situations, learn ways to start and keep conversations going, and build genuine relationships that ease loneliness. There is also guidance for handling anxious thoughts so they feel more manageable instead of taking over. This group is intended for young adults within the 20 to 30 range who want more connection and sometimes feel awkward, anxious, or out of place. No diagnosis or previous therapy is required, only a willingness to participate. It is not a fit for people experiencing very severe social anxiety, those in active crisis, or anyone not interested in connecting with others. The focus is practice over perfection, and participation is free.
