In an hour and a half, there is a get together today of people I worked with for fifteen years twenty years ago. It was the best experience of my work life, accomplishing things with these people and making friends with them. My anxiety at being with people has been high in the past few months, but my anxiety in general has gone down in the past few weeks. I considered not going because i fear my anxiety will flare up, but I also feel I cannot miss that opportunity of seeing them all. So I am cycling through feeling giddy with joyous expectation, being terrified my anxiety will show up strong, and confident I'll have fun and be able to deal with my anxiety if need be. I figure at worst, I'll just leave. Just needed to get this in the open. Thanks for reading and hope everyone is as well as can be

Heyy, it's great to let your thoughts out! I think it's good that you choose to go and as you said if you don't feel it you can just leave. But I hope you feel good and happy as you meet them and have a great day✨☺️
It’s all a part of our affliction. Comfort zone. I tend to like to push myself to do a few things I don’t feel comfortable with just to show myself I can even if it heightens my anxiety. The successes are battles won. I might even enjoy myself sometimes.😉
Hiya Hope4me1. Indeed, comfort zone. You do seem to have the right strategy by doing things that are a bit uncomfortable, just to show yourself. I wished I had practiced on smaller things than today, but i'll go! Thanks for your encouraging post, be well
