Today was a HUGE starry moment in my relatively small world.
For most of you, the next bit will probably sound odd, as in, what’s the big deal? But for anyone with social anxiety – get this – I went for drinks and food with people I don’t usually socialise with, in a pub I’d never been too. I’m so chuffed with myself.
This weekend I’m going to write how I did it, as a reminder to me and hopefully some help to others.

That’s fantastic! Hope your day went well.
Thank you, today has been an up day! Am hoping yours got better.
Ah bugger! I walked past the pub too to get to my dads!! x
No!!! x
Good on you! I understand how hard that would have been!
Thank you, quite a few moments when I thought about going back to my usual avoidance behaviour…
I don’t have social anxiety. I travel, go out and do stuff by myself all the time. However I’ve read about it and for someone who does I bet what you did today is a pretty being deal.
It was, but it felt great, stretcing that comfort zone. Thank you 🙂
That’s fantastic :). Hope you had a wonderful time too!
That is a really BIG deal! Just think-this time last year,or even a few months ago.
I know, still feeling chuffed today 🙂 I need to remember this feeling!
Very important,print out the memory and put it on the fridge!
I’m going to put it in a special jar, I’ll explain on my post 🙂
I also take photos of things so I can scroll through on the laptop/tablet etc 🙂
Good idea. It didn’t seem the right moment for photos, nut I tried to take them in my head if that makes sense. I also kept my train tickets, and writing more about it on the blog should help too.
Being able to remind yourself is all that matters.
🙂
Well done you. I absolutely know how difficult this can be.
Thank you. It helps to know others understand, but also hate to think other people struggle too.
I completely understand! I am known for backing out of plans, especially parties and things that will have a lot of people. I really want to include myself but then…meh…
Exactly. I WANT to go, get excited at the invite, and then talk myself out of it in a frenzy of fear. And then the invites stop. But not this year, I’m really going to work on this. Please keep in touch x
Yep that’s big 🙂
I had a huge weekend too – in a different city, will blog about it shortly.
Yours sounds good!Mine was much much smaller, but still a huge achievement 🙂 Look forward to your post!
done – so over anxiety 😦
