Thank you sincerely.
I've actually been far too good at being a homebody. I grew up in the boonies with just family. Even nominal times I was in more social areas or situations was still pretty rural, unfortunately, and a lot, the majority, of my people experiences end in disaster. So I'm extremely pessimistic right now. But I need to change, and not just let it be words.
I'm big into fitness - I have been since young - but trying to get over both my timidity and ego alike (even when I'm "not" in shape it's by my standards...but I
always have to be as best as I can be, to compete, for example) is making me think on the sports thing. But also that I was so used to that homebody stuff means I never got out and
did much, and now I couldn't quite say what "interests" me as a doing-kind of hobby. Martial arts does sound fun. I've had to -oh irony - learn to brawl and street fight over time to protect certain souls in my world but that's not exactly what anyone should be thinking of as a hobby. But I like the idea of a martial arts group. I'm always for more moving around and to keep pretending I'm 18 years old in terms of fitness. I especially need more cardio lately and not just the home gym, calisthentics, and weight-lifting stuff I do already.
I don't drink, but if I could find gatherings, groups, etc. I could probably "do" bars or pubs just fine as well even though I do not drink. I feel like that's sort-of what could work too. Just a place to
talk to people that's meant to be social.
