Hi all,

 

Okay this is going to sound really strange. There are some friends who I get anxious when plans are made. I don't really know what causes it, mostly my heart starts beating faster and I start thinking about what I'm going to talk about etc.

 

Like I was invited by a friend to her brothers bday party and the above happened as soon as I hung up the phone. It lasted for about 20-30 mins then I got over it. But even when I was waiting for them I was nervous. But things went great and I had an awesome time.

 

Now I've got another friends party of which probably half the group I know, the others I don't. And the same thing happened. It's mostly to do with the people I don't know.

 

Yet I had lunch with a friend that works in a different department to me last week. Met her through the net. This was the second time I'd met her in person and I had no problems whatsoever. We had a great time, laughing and chatting.

 

So why is it that certain situations tend to freak me out? Any ideas?

It's just that your anxious. You might just lack self-confidence.

 

Is it a "Yay" anxious, "I'm real nervous" anxious, or "Don't let me make a fool of myself" anxious?
