so alot of my friends are moving away and i think i may have to start going out to concerts and stuff by myself. it's not a scary thought, i know. but i think when the time comes i will panic and feel out of place. i am a girl, is this okay?

I think that it is fine that you go to places on your own. Shows how independent you can be. I remember Before my anxiety picked right up again. I would go allot of places by myself. At first it was a little bit uncomfortable but then i would look around and see how many other people had come on there own.

I know how you feel. I am going to a Rays game alone this summer and I am going to feel odd. There isn't anything wrong with it, but it definitely is weird and a bit scary being alone like that. If I were you I would quickly try to find people to talk to because it's so much easier that way. When I go to the game I am just going to talk to the people there so I don't feel so alone.

Wishing you the best,

I've never been to a concert by myself, but I went to a hockey game alone once. (I have social phobia too). I felt weird the whole time.

I moved away for a summer job last year and didn't know anyone in town. I have social phobia, too.

I forced myself to go to concerts, festivals, and parks by myself. It was hard. But it was worth it. Now I have all of these great memories. I barely remember the anxiety.

I met a few really nice people. People on their own are less threatening to talk to, so strangers were more likely to start a conversation. This is especially true for girls. Just watch out for the flirts!

Sometimes I couldn't make myself talk to anyone, but I still enjoyed going. Concerts are easier because you have something to look at.

I'm sorry if you end up feeling panic sometimes. You're not alone in dealing with that problem. You're very brave to consider going out alone anyway!

I have a huge problem with crowds and went to a Celine Dion concert alone. My anxiety behaved. It was a huge achievement for me. Good luck.

I have Social Phobia too, but I can' teven image myself going anywhere by myself (yet).

I think you should go and have fun, leave your SP behind and just enjoy the experience, and maybe it will open up to going out more by yourself and enjoying it, without panicing about it.

Good luck and have fun!
