Anxious about meeting others

EvilRegalsReadToo June 24th, 2020

I don't know why, but I feel really anxious about meeting others. I don't have any IRL friends bc my anxiety gets the better of me, and I can't go and visit them. That sucks a lot as I like the friends I speak to online, but I can't meet with them bc my anxiety is too strong.

I have also gotten to a place, where they have meetings for young ppl, but I can't bring myself to go there, bc of my anxiety. What do I do? :3

Hi, I also am struggling meeting with and talking to people at the moment. I am trying to come up with ideas on how to restart being out in the real world, talking and spending time with people.

I think to start, maybe try something casual and low pressure with maybe one friend you are really comfortable with, or a 2-3 so less pressure on just the two of you.

Maybe try for an activity that is short and doesn't require too much conversation - movie, jog ...

Let me know if you have any ideas of low pressure activities you can think of in these tricky times.
