Why I am always this nervous?

[Bushbaby123]

A friend, who I barely know, has asked if she could stay over in my room at my flat at uni for a night, and I had said yes to help her out, but I am really nervous about it, as she isn’t a close friend and I am worried that it is going to be really awkward, I do not want it to be awkward as I am sharing a place with her and a couple of other people next year. I never got this nervous with close friends, but considering I barely know her, I am worried that it isn’t going to go well. I know it seems a bit stupid to get nervous over something this trivial but I seem to be getting nervous for the littlest of things nowadays mainly due to my anxiety

Hey, I would be nervous too. I know how some girls can get jealous when they see you have certain things. Anything really valuable like money and jewelry and maybe certain articles of clothing I would probably keep hidden and wouldn't let her see. I'm not trying to make you paranoid, but it's best to be cautious. And if you really don't want her over make up an excuse that you can't do it, maybe suggest some other people you both know.

It sounds like you are catastrophizing! One thing that has helped me with my anxiety lately is asking myself "what if it goes well?" That sort of takes the edge off a little bit. I realize I'm only thinking of the worst that could happen. That and 4-7-8 breathing are awesome together!
