What do you think is the worst that could happen in a social setting, approaching new people, whatever?

It may be rejection or being made fun of when i can't escape which scares me. Or being forced to do something I don't want to, because in real life i'm quiet anyway, and being surrounded by hyperactive people makes me a bit irritated so...it's always a mixed bag with people I don't know. Usually I appear disinterested with people I find triggering. What about you? |

Nothing bad is likely to happen beyond being situationally judged or rejected, or accidentally doing something embarrassing. (But oh what an utter horror that would be, and imagine the possible repercussions if it keeps on happening, says my brain).

I remember, at the height of my Social Anxiety Crisis, I was terribly afraid that people were judging me harshly and pointing out my glaring flaws. I didn't feel in danger, I felt embarrassed, like I wanted to just disappear. I was ashamed of myself. I didn't want to say the wrong thing and have it come back to haunt me somehow like being known as that stupid girl who says stupid things and makes a fool of herself.
I've gotten over it for the most part although I still ramble and become frustrated under certain circumstances. For example, when talking to my fiance's mother or while over at his parents' house. And definitely when he decides to put me on the spot and ask me to solve a riddle. My brain shuts down. I had to tell him to stop it because he was gonna make my brain explode. I'm not really sure what my brain thinks is gonna happen in those situations that makes it malfunction. |

Feeling awkward, not knowing what to say, awkward silence, rejection, they will ask me uncomfortable questions, stuttering, they bring up a topic i know nothing about, i cant relate with them, i mean a million things could go wrong

I guess I feel the same way you guys do, just a big fear of rejection.

When I think about this wedding I have to go to, I become anxious of the following-
1. People thinking I look kid like and ugly 2. Going red 3. Having a mindblank and not knowing what to say to people and so looking like a fool. 4. Feeling physically uncomfortable and not knowing what to do with myself 5. Being made to dance and feeling like an idiot 6. Somebody commenting on my single status and trying to set me up hence causing lots of embarrassment and me feeling like a total freak and a charity case. Yep...lots of worries, |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
