Two girls are going to follow me

Post Reply New Topic

I'm full of anxiety! Tomorrow I am supposed to meet two girls from my class. They are going to show me the way to the illuminated skitrack, because my sence of locality is poor.
I'm so introverted that I guess this will turn out as a disaster.
The best way out is always through, but now I really feel like skipping school tomorrow.
Because of this! I'm so scared. It's not only this about meeting these girls, we have physical education and I often refuse to participate.
My teacher will probably become annoyed.
My parents hate it when I stay home from school, and so do I. I want to be brave, but I'm almost dying from these feelings at the moment. The more I think about staying home tomorrow, the more I decide to do it.

The thoughts and feelings that surround or precede an event are almost always far, far worse than the event itself. I think it would be in your best interest to face this. Ultimately, I always feel worse for avoiding things, because then I feel ashamed of myself.

Think realistically, what is the very worst that can happen? And what potential benefit can you gain?

You might end up, with two really good friends.

Moog has summed it up perfectly. Don't worry about it so much.

You can do it.

The more you make yourself do scary things like this, the easier it'll be to make yourself do it the next time. The more you stay home, the more you'll want to stay home in the future.

If you feel like you need more of a push than you can give yourself right now, would your parents or anyone else help make sure you go? Does it make you feel less anxious to distract yourself, or to do something to prepare yourself? Good luck.
