Anyone else get this?

Just hit me today, one of the main reasons I hate social occasions is just simply getting back home after them. I live in another city to my friends and family so going home takes about 3hrs across two buses and a train.

It's usually at this point I start to get panicky and all I want to do is be home right that second, but still got another few hours of travelling to go. I think it's the whole I want to be home right now but I'm not that I hate so much that just the dreaded thought of it is what initially makes me cancel plans with friends and family.

Does anyone else feel this?

Hi Jon while I understand what you are saying you are very lucky to have friends who you can socialise with think of the people who are on their own day in, day out who would like a few friends to be with, sort of puts it in to perspective ATB

Yep, that's classic fear of fear. I do that, too, just assume I'll feel badly and then I cancel on friends because of numerous times I've been out and felt badly. I'm quick to forget all the good times I've had outside, and only focus on the negatives... Guess it's your anxiety's way of trying to protect you, but we all know it's very misguided as there's nothing actually bad out there.
