Field trip
I have a field trip to the aquarium in late April and I cant wait for it, but we cant chose our groups and I cant be around too many people I don't know unless I have a comfort person (My girlfriends, My bestfriends, ect.) and I'm stressed out because of that. I'm scared I'm gonna go nonverbal and have a meltdown/Shutdown. I can't bring my comfort plushie either. His name is Shortcake btw. Plus I'm gonna be gone from 8:30am to 8pm. I'm not exactly sure what to do because I want to go but I'm anxious.
@StrawberryMoon09 sounds like you suffer from not only anxiety but severe social anxiety. first off I wanna say that you can hope someone you are comfortable around will be there. and if not make a new friend! you don't have to go for someone popular or anything. go for someone in the back. just make a new friend! don't worry about what your going to say. just find an opportunity and just go for it. don't let you hold yourself back. don't worry about seeming weird. don't worry about seeming odd. just be yourself and try. whats the worst that can happen? you will be okay.
