Is it truning into social anxiety?

[Two heads]

Lately im worrying about how im going to feel when i go out.I mean i worry im going to get that horrible wave and go into panic in front of people,am i developing social anxiety?I have to go out tonight for my sisters brithday and im worrying and dont really want to go at the moment!xx

Funnily enough I actually think this is at the basis of my agoraphobia too even though I don't consider myself shy in any way shape or form, it is at the crux of why I don't like going out.

I think the advice I can give you here that has helped me somewhat is something Meg said some time ago. Instead of viewing the people around you as people to be embaressed in front of, view them as possible help if you were to have a panic attack!!!!

"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

Glad you had a good night out. I too have these worries about going out, but like Piglet am not shy at all! I think people who don't know about my probs wouldn't believe it if they knew! I always get in a state about going out, and then once i'm there end up being the life and soul!

Wishing you many more successes, India xx
