Hello. I realized today that I hate going to a restaurant by myself. I just feel so anxious. Especially if I have to order for someone else. I don't want to get anything wrong. Actually, I think it's more ordering for someone else than by myself, but anyways. This is major social anxiety. What happens if I order wrong? What if I'm taking too long to pay and the person behind me gets angry? So many what ifs.
Today, my mom needed to watch our store and she said to get us lunch and I was so scared of ordering wrong. And I didn't have enough so I had to run back and get the rest, which was embarrassing. It was 21.35 and I only had a 20. I was so scared and embarrassed. All we got was two wraps and two drinks. Anyways, it peaked my social anxiety so much.
This was mainly a rant post, but does anyone else have a hard time ordering? I have a hard time ordering when with an acquaintance or someone I am just meeting or for someone else and even just by myself. I like someone to order for me.
