Party fear

Benson

Hiya all so in May I got a party that honestly I'm semi panicking over

So my friend invited me to her birthday party and I will know no one else there besides her and I believe she told some of the others whom will be there about me. so i fear they have developed a image of me that I won't be able to live up to

We met through "work" it hard to explain without sharing too much personal information

My asd traits also means I struggle with large crowds occasionally and I have awful social skills and a massive want to live up to people expectations of me

  • I feel for you with this. I would feel the exact same way. Could you talk to your friend? Explain how you feel and what you're worried about and then she might be able to help settle your anxieties with this.

    Large gatherings are always scary especially when you know no one there really but it could also be a lot of fun for you and as you want to go I'm sure your friend would want to help you be less anxious.

    I always turn down party invitations because of my anxiety but I think talking to your friend is definitely a good place to start with this. 

    I hope you can work something out x.
