i’m stressing because i feel like i can never go out with my boyfriend to meet with his friends (he has many… many friends) because i always get panicky and feel the need to leave. my anxiety makes me seem like i’m really rude and standoffish and i hate that my boyfriend’s friends think i’m actually like that. i don’t know how to ground myself when i’m in that environment. any tips? what do you guys do when you’re in that type of situation?
Hey! I feel like that all the time especially when i first moved closer to my bf ❤️ for me personally i just start with one person that i feel the least stressed around and talk with them after a certain amount of time I branch out another person or two It's the unknown people that really stress me out once I get to know them a little it's a lot less stressful I don't feel more familiar
Can I constantly do have to walk away from situations take a breather because otherwise I do fall into panic attacks so many different people around so I'll be in a big people for let's say 10 15 minutes and then I'll step out for 5 and then I'll come back
