Would you contact friend yet, or no?

I have a good friend I have not seen in 32 years..I moved from our inner city neighborhood to an outskirt town and since then, we lost touch. She was my best friend ages 4-11. We did everything together!! She found me on FB several years ago and asked to meet up but I have such social anxiety I have not yet. I feel badly and have not told her the true reason.
I feel very vulnerable telling people of my disorder but I'm debating doing so with her. I heart her posts on FB but she never likes mine really. I think she believes I just don't WANT to meet and that's not it at all.


I bumped into her the other day at a store!! We now live closer and I knew it was her. I had a mask on and was pushing my sister in a wheelchair so not sure if she recognized me or not. I didn't say anything, and neither did she. Should I message her saying I saw her and maybe also tell about my anxiety? Or let it go until I am ready to meet up?

Yes, love, I think you should tell her. She may feel as if you blew her off and her feelings may be hurt. If she doesn't come around after that, rhen at least you can rest easy knowing you tried.
