Seriously, I've been thinking of joining a quilt guild. It also has several small groups that meet at member's houses. I am an introvert & it takes some "courage" for me to join things & try to make new friends. I found this post so disheartening...
If it's something you want to do, you shouldn't let others discourage you. If you can, contact one of the members first and introduce yourself. If there are several groups, chances are you'll fit perfectly into one of them.
I don't think anyone means to be mean, here. It's just that different people have different comfort levels, when relating to others. I don't dislike chatty people but non-stop chatterers eventually make me very tired. It's a sort of sensory overload.
