I Have Anxiety

Tomorrow, I'm going out for a drink with a couple of people from work. Probably seems like nothing for a lot of people, but it's pretty terrifying for me. I usually make excuses and haven't done this sort of thing for a good few years.My mind is currently running me through everything that could go wrong/I could do wrong,mostly "they probably invited you because they felt sorry for you/they're going to laugh at you", but I'm determined to do it. I might even have fun...XD

Well, I went. It was frankly embarrassing, one girl got way too drunk and started shouting swear words and racist slang around etc etc, couldn't handle her drink. I was SO bored, but at least I don't have to do that for another six months!

@instagramcat: Racist slang? What a heck! Don't worry. Not everyone is like her.
You were very brave. 👍

@twistermind: LOUDLY as well :( but now I don't have to do it again for AGES! YAY!

@instagramcat: Yes. You can do it with other people. Sometimes people turn into jerks when they drink.
You have to care of the best for you. You gave a step and there are lots of people wanting to know you out there and share with you.
