Lawyer - I can totally relate....I don't do well around large groups of people either....I am on medication, but even still I find it hard to be around many people I don't know well. I hope you find the help you need, because social anxiety makes life really hard. hugs

(((((((((((( Lawyer ))))))))))))))))
I have extreme anxiety even and I would dare say especially around people I know, I usually withdraw to a corner and keep to myself. Sometimes my brain seems to overload in groups and I disassociate, I call that a short circuit. I hope you are able to find professional help.

I am very socially anxious too. I have a Christmas party coming up this week. Last year it was at a hotel. I hardly knew anyone and I drank a couple drinks because I was so anxious. I was new at the job and had just started a few weeks before last year's party.
I am a bit glad to find out that this year's will be at a local restaurant, more casual. More people in my department are going this year. I got a Christmas card from one of them. |
