hah trust me if I was in the States I'd definitely come to meet-ups. So you shouldn't waste that.
I had one meet-up so far from TFP here in Lisbon, and though I felt weird about it at the time, it was very cool and I enjoyed it a lot.
Yeah, I'm socially anxious too. In fact quite a lot. You don't have to like everyone you meet and they don't have to like you, but it seems that there being the TFP factor in there, should make it easier for everyone to get on ok.
Go anyway. I always have room for more friends. Challenge your boundaries. And have fun too!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
