Funny because it’s true...

[Althaea]

There are moments when my anxiety over having to make small talk with people I know (and like) is so overwhelming that I actually will go out of my way to avoid them or will wait it out.

Anyone else relate?

I agree. Sometimes, I will have lunch in my car to avoid the chatter. I’m not much of a small talker. If anything, it produces anxiety thinking about lunch time and takes away from the relaxation.
