Have you ever feel anxious or just genuinely don't know what to do when there's someone gonna come over to your place? Because that's what i'm feeling right now. I'm waiting for my friend and her husband as i'm writing this. We used to be pretty close but since we haven't talked for years, probably 5 years so things got pretty awkward. I mean i met her before months ago but this is the first just for the two of us.

Like for real, i don't know how to talk to her or how to welcome her. In general i'm a very awkward and anxious person, so what i've been thinking the whole day is "Oh my god what should i say when she's here?" or "Should i ask her to have dinner first before leaving or what?" and i was thinking "I should've said that i'm not home today" That's very bad, right? Because like i don't know how to act in front of other people. The anxiety is really getting me.

i understand your anxiety with that- im not good with people either. maybe you could open the conversation with things like, "so tell me about your life the last several years?" or, maybe an "icebreaker" question that you guys can go around and ask eachother and make it fun? as far as staying to eat ,maybe see how it all goes and then say, hey just a thought but if you ld like to stay for dinner you are welcome!

i think it will go perfectly ok for you all- try to think positive about it and see it as a catching up opportunity and maybe make it fun❤️🙏🏻

Hello dear, Try to act normally, this will help you to be yourself and not as an actor due to the depression which I know how bad it is and how much it affects us. But stay calm and patient.Maybe when you'll meet her you will find yourself much comfortable especially when you started remembering your old days.

Hope that this finds you well.

I know how your feeling. For one, I just don't like having people over and disrupting my life. Also it's nerve wracking seeing someone you haven't seen in so long, that's natural. I can tell you I saw a couple friends recently who I haven't seen in 20 years. I was so nervous because so much time has passed. As soon as we got together and started talking it was like No time had passed. It was so fun!

I read a good quote somewhere,

Feel the fear, and do it anyway .

I know exactly how you feel I'm the same, my anxiety is through the roof when I know someone is visiting, all day I'm a mess I can't settle.Take some nice deep breaths, and like other people have said try to relax, and enjoy your time with your friend and do some reminising. Hope it goes well. 😘🌈
