Depression Understood Forums

Lately I have been thinking about meeting someone in a calm and private environment because regular social networks feel too noisy and overwhelming. I want communication that feels personal relaxed and free of pressure where both people genuinely enjoy the experience. I wonder if there is a place where it is easier to meet someone who values this kind of atmosphere.

I consider myself an introvert. Perhaps it could be part of the reason why I have depression. It seems like the world is more cut out for extroverts than introverts. If you are in introvert then it can be difficult to find a niche.

The only place I can think of to go to (but I never do it) would possibly be a coffee shop. But, at a place like it, it can be hard to connect because people usually bring their phones and laptops or a book. It indirectly means "do not disturb me" when they're engaged with it. People seem to be less sociable nowadays.

I don't have much to suggest because I feel the same way you do. Best to you.
