Dave, you flirt!

Before the anxiety I was always pretty sociable. I still am now when I'm in those situations, my anxiety just doesn't want me to go there in the first place.
But weddings, big yawn. I was ducking out of those well before the anxiety. "Well done mate you're getting laid tonight". What is there to say beyond congratulations? I'm more for it being a private thing. I've always found them somehow a bit false with being a celebration of how great someone's life is. The only useful thing was the booze ups.
KeeKee, don't forget Vladimir!
I think Beatroon is right. If you could access something like Dave does with Changes, you will find others like you as mental health groups are like this place.
Moocow - it's friendly on here. Many of us have the odd argument but it soon blows over. The good far outweighs the bad. There are plenty of men who would say they don't want someone else's mental health baggage regardless of someone working. It's often about some level of compromise on both sides.
