I kinda suffer from social anxiety, the thought of meeting new people & being in new situations causes anxiety but the thing is, once I'm there, with new people, in the new situation, I usually cope fine. It's the THINKING about it what does it.
Anyway, I've been going through a really rough time recently but I'm hoping to go to uni in September to do Theatre Studies & drama. So I've signed up for a local Amateur Dramatics group to get some experience in & they want me to come in for an induction on the 29th, which is only a week away! Now, usually I avoid these situations like the plague but for some reason, I just wanna do this! I just wanna go & not worry & not panic...but I'm worried I'm maybe trying to do too much too soon?
But I do just wanna go for it cos I'll have to start uni in september anyway, what will I do then? So I have to start breaking barriers down if I wanna get anywhere....avoiding things like this isn't gonna lead to anything, only a lonely, unhappy life with aload of regret.
I just NEED to do it, even though it scares me....
What do you think?????
