Hi Gerri ~ I do the same thing. I think it's just fear of the unknown. We imagine ALL kinds of different scenarios -- and none of them ever happen. 
It's the same with me --- I USED to drink alot before going to any social function because that would give me the 'nerve" I needed to go. But since I'm in recovery from Alcoholism, I cannot do that anymore. LOL So I just "white-knuckle" it and full steam ahead! LOL Like you said, once I'm in there, I'm usually just fine. But if I can't find anyone that I know to talk to, I'm a nervous wreck!! 
You would think at MY age, (62) that i would be over this nonsense by now, but guess it's going to continue til my dying days. LOL At least you and I both know that it's NOT going to kill us. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
