Have to go to group and I'm stressed about it.

[EricJones]

I'm stressed about going to group because most people there feel fine when they're just sitting around and listening or not listening to others speak. I'm the one paying attention to their body movements and whether they can tell I'm afraid of not. I'm trying to keep the attention have give to people on the low, so they cannot figure me out. Any thoughts?

try to remember it`s a group session everyone`s eyes and ears will be focussed on anyone speaking apart from that everyone will probably blend in like the wallpaper around them and no one will notice any difference from you or the others.

What are they going to figure out? That you're a normal person looking at people. I doubt they will even notice, they're worried about themselves. You will be okay.

You speak the truth BlueAgave...when I would be in a group session, I was more worried

about how I would present myself and what I would say rather than listening to what

others spoke about. Quite normal for sure with the anxious person xx

So I would get any looks or people thinking I'm weird if I move around a lot?

[BlueAgave in reply to EricJones]

I cant see thinking someone is weird just because they move around a lot. I hope it went well for you. I move around a lot because I can't sit still sometimes because of restless legs.
