A few weeks back, I made a thread about how I wanted to attend DBSA meetings. The problem is, I haven't gone to any yet.

I really want to attend a support group, but I have really bad anxiety. I know this is going to sound silly to most of you, but I'm afraid I will get there and somebody will know me. (I just feel embarrassed for some reason. )

Now, there's this girl I met when I was in 4th grade who I became good friends with. We were both in the ski club at school. (That's how we met.) Well, in 5th grade, she randomly started treating me like crap. I'd try talking to her and she'd purposely ignore me.

I noticed that she has attended one of these DBSA meetings in the past (February 24th, 2016 to be exact). I know it because I looked it up on meetup.com and saw her name there for one of the meetings. Even though her name has not appeared lately, I'm afraid I'm going to face her again and it's just going to be awkward. Our friendship did *not* end on good terms, and I have no idea why she treated me like crap. (She wasn't a bully or anything. She just had this "I'm too good for you" attitude, and it really upset me. She purposely refused to talk to me.)

I'm now 24, and I realize that happened when I was 11... but it's still fresh in my mind. I'm sure she's changed, but I'm deathly afraid of the awkwardness.
