The app was directly intended for users to have a need or want to meet people so it might be a little different in your scenario as you've mentioned in your first sentence. We don't have any solutions as to getting past the social anxiety of leaving the house and making friends with strangers because that's something that needs to be personally overcome by the individual. Here's an example: If John Smith considers himself overweight and would like to loose weight, he needs to mentally prepare himself to begin dieting and working out. Nothing will work if John himself refuses to make the first step.
If it helps, users can also have their friends RSVP for the event and attend the event together.
We realize that the event list that we have on the first page seems pretty generic and so doesn't trigger a lot of excitement. We'll see if we can do something about that. Our next revision will probably be to get rid of the circles completely- it seems that there's just too much information right now. Thanks for the feedback!
