If you want a place to meet other Scanners then the Barbara Sher's Forum for Scanners is a good place to start. I've only just discovered it myself. Unfortunately at the moment there does not seem to be lots of activity on it but its worth a look.
Understanding that there are lots of like-minded people out there feels good. Its also a great place to explore ideas that the book Refuse to Choose does not cover. For example, what are Scanner relationships like? It has ocurred to me that if a Scanner has trouble sticking to just a few things does this apply to their social life too? Are Scanners more likely to be serial monogomists or live in open relationships? Do scanners have many friends too? Do they get bored of their friendships? This is a whole new and interesting topic.

Hi Ali!
I'm a scanner too, and have many various friends and interests!
I find I spend time with certain groups of people online or in RL, and then sometimes get another interest and spend time with entirely different set of people - then returning to other groups again! (Sometimes bringing what I found from those new people to other friends or wider public!:)
It's like I absorb info and then want to share it, and I'm so happy if 'old friends' are interested in the new things I've found too!!
Hi Layla
Its funny how labels can be destructive as well as liberating. Discovering the idea of the scanner has allowed me to loosen up about who I am and like you, to dip in and out of things happily (previiously I would have felt guilty about not sticking with something/letting people down).
