I have to meet my friends mother today...I've met her before, but I have bad experiences with meeting friends families...I was panicing so I just took an Ativan pill.
I hate being so afraid.
Do any of you have the same fear of meeting family?

Scared of friends parents and family... I do know what you mean! Ativan or the equivalent does help (wish it wasn't needed) ((((((( Labyssum )))))))

Maybe your fears are well-founded. Can you think of why they might be? Or why they might have been at one time?

When I was younger, my friends parents never liked me...They thought I was a bit of a rebel.lol. Things went well though today, she was very kind, and the Ativan helped greatly. :-)

I understand how you feel....I suffer from social phobia....anxiety) it is an uncomfortable thing to have...i make big deals out of situations just out of fear of meeting new people or being around people i do not know...i do alot of things to try to relax and not be so anxious and nervous...i do breathing exercises and also take kava kava from time to time...but i have found that when i stay away from caffeine and lots of sugar my anxiety is not so bad...plus i try to eat as healthy as possible...good ole milk can help out alot ....it always helps me relax....
