i want to go but i cant

Not stupid Rosie , I can relate to some of that myself , maybe you could explain your anxiety to your friend who invited you , and if they are any sort of understanding person hopefully they can help you to work out a way that you could go without it seeming too daunting -
It would be good if you could find someone who understands your anxiety to accompany you ; you'd probably soon start to relax and enjoy it , but if not , just quietly leave and get a taxi home ?
You got used to meeting new people at the bar you work at , and once you get used to another new situation I'm sure you'll be fine . .

Thanks for trying to understand, i think your maybe right if i can tell her what i going through then maybe she can understand why im finding it hard to go, if i can go for a short time then i can leave saying that ive achieved going out. Your right i got used to working in a bar so therefore i can do this.

you should go,it will be another step forward,what you should do is tell your friend u are nervous and get her mobile no and phone when u are nearly there so she can meet u outside,that's what i do even if i am going to meet my sisters,i wouldn't have the confidence to walk into anywhere myself either.Go it may help ur confidence or u can just let off steam boogeying. trinax.

hey yeah your right it is a step forward and it will help me get some confidence. Ive told her all about me feeling nervous about going and she says that she understands and will help me in anyway possible to see me.

brill,hope u have a good night have a drink on me x

I went for a short while and so ive achieved going somewhere. Thanks for the drink.
