Just wanted to get it off my chest

[Guest135]

I have been feeling extremely anxious about something, and as much as I try and forget about it or try and distract myself from it, it won’t go away. It is genuinely a very trivial thing, I have to go to an event, where I will be all alone and won’t really have anyone, but everyone else knows each other or are friends. Usually I am okay with being alone if it is with strangers that I am never going to see again. But this time it is with people who are going to be with me for the the next couple of years. I have tried to talk people and make friends but people are very rude and people treat me differently, I don’t really know why. I just don’t want to seem like a loner or be all alone in front of them, they already treat me differently, I don’t want to be judged even further. I am absolutely dreading it! I considered calling off sick but I have to attend as it is very important for my career and cannot afford to miss it. I keep telling myself it is one day, it will be fine, but the anxiety isn’t going away. I cannot concentrate on anything, and all I want to do is sleep it off, to forget about it, but cannot afford to waste time and also cannot get to sleep coz I am constantly thinking about it. I have tried running, meditation and watching funny videos, but it is constantly there. I feel so done!

When you get there, look around for someone else that is alone….introduce yourself and chat about the event …I can’t believe that you will be the only single guest there. Don’t let a few snobs ruin your day

You’ve got this:)🥰. Just do it:)👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
