I Have Anxiety

Tomorrow I'm going to meet another mum in my town I met on an app for arranging playdates and meetups etc. I'm horribly socially anxious, I can feel myself getting panicky already. But I'm determined to do this for my daughter. Any words of comfort/advice welcome! I don't think I've properly socialised with anybody (that isn't a baby or husband) in a year! 馃お

The majority of people are just as socially anxious as you, but they have either learned techniques to cope or simply hide it better than you. Often it's the most outgoing, confident-seeming people who are the gibbering wrecks behind closed doors. Just don't try to be anything other than yourself. I'm sure you're a lovely person and your post shows you care, which is a great quality in itself.
Fingers crossed for you and good for you for thinking of your daughter first

Well done you.. you are going to do something you find really difficult.. that's very brave of you. It won't be easy, you know that.. I hope it goes ok for you
