Fretting over the ice cream social

today is the ice cream social at my boys' school and I am totally fretting to go. I don't do well in crowds. I tend to want to hide myself in a shell. I do way better on a one on one basis, but crowds and new situations - YIKES.....

I need to get myself pumped up, but I really do not want to attend.

Oh I hear you!!! I have major crowd and new situation phobia and it IS really hard. I never know what to do, say, ...and I always feel awkward and get real quiet. Just know that you are NOT alone in this! With kids though we're always forced into these types of situations and I NEVER want to go. I do though and I don't always have a great time and am quiet and sometimes seemingly univolved, but that's ok and "at least I went" and sometimes that's enough for me. It is so hard to leave that comfort zone and branch out especially being new to the school system and all. I know this didn't offer a lot of advice- more of just letting you know others feel the same. Please let me know how it went. Take care!
