I Have Social Phobia

I went to attend a briefing session for some sort of tender document for some projects this morning. I was already worried about attending it since days ago and was nervous before going this morning. My fear was meeting people I know but are not familiar / friendly, especially my classmates working in the same department. I was afraid that they would see me and gossiped about me that I looked tired, weird, etc, and then it spread to the whole class even to those working elsewhere and has not seen or contacted for a decade. I was also afraid that they would ignore me even they see me there; and then I was afraid that people would ask why i didn't sit with my classmates, etc.

I don't like those classmates of mine, they were mean and always talked behind people's back and things were probably made up by them; we just happened to be in the same class but we are totally different and don't get along. But I still worry now working in the same department with them.

Luckily those bitches didn't come to the briefing.

Nevertheless, maybe I have over-reacted towards/over-estimated their poor behavior.

It's something you have to work with in order to overcome, or at the very least tolerate. Some situations really reinforce the phobia, but you have to avoid them if possible. I won't list the ones I know just in case.

@raysam363 I want to overcome it. I have been avoiding activities and gatherings at the workplace which is not good for my career development.

Sometimes those scenarios we have in our head are many times worse than what can actually happen. So do take it easy on yourself.
