I’m not a german fellow, but I have a netizen friend who feels incredibly anxious and wasn’t able to get friends in school, due to immense bullyings. They only have friends from the internet, and they have tried to socialize in a fishbowl event but they weren’t able to get a friend there as I feel it.

In my country there is an event organization called havervagy, which has a bunch of events, where everyone is spliited into 3-4 people sized groups where they can get to know eachother. Do you perhaps have something similar to this one in Germany? My friend lives in West Germany, closer to the border of Netherlands.

    I haven’t been in one (yet) but here is their short description about this party.

    “Everyone will be seated at tables of four, and every 30 minutes your table and table companion will be drawn again. Neither the topics nor the composition of the company will be left to chance and company. Although we were very nervous about what four strangers would do to each other, it was so wonderful to experience how easily we are open to each other and how much fun it can be that we have since held nearly 100 of these clique-free parties!”

    As I see they usually meet at bars or community halls, and there is definitely some overseers probably since this organization has their own website, with a bunch of events listed and everything. Yeah it has an entry free but it’s not much, like 5 eur or something. From the pictures I see some alcohol, so I would guess we can drink alcohol there.
