Been there!

For a long time I didn't realize that I was scared. I would be with friends trying to decide what to do for the night and I'd shoot down idea after idea "too many people at the movies on a friday" or "that restaurant will be crowded at dinner time--let's go late." I would constantly start to go to a store or building, see a lot of people inside, and turn right around and leave!

I would feel really closed in and just think about getting away. But somehow for a long time I just thought I preferred to be away from crowds. When I finally realized I was scared, I found ways to deal with it better.

It's a pain, isn't it? Hope it gets better for you!
