This is what I found worked best for me. Having a shared commitment to something even if it's only for an hour helps keep things on track and reduces any social anxiety that comes up for me.
I'm not a "go-getter" and am pretty sure I'd be shunned for not being ambitious enough even at like a soup kitchen or whatever the hell people volunteer at
They literally just need people to show up and do basic things. As long as you aren't creating a disturbance, I can't see there being any issues.
