Support Group

Apr 08, 2010

Why am I so nervous to go to a support group?  I am usually so outgoing but for some reason I can't make myself go.  UGH!  I know I need to get over it.  I'm nervous people won't like me, ie, not talk to me, which in turn must mean they don't like me...insecurities gallore!  This coming from the girl who was voted most outgoing in high school.  Well, that was 13 years ago and this is now.  This is a support group for people like me...they have been where I am at....what is my problem?!?!?!?!?  Aside from my silly fear of them not liking me, I'm scared I'll say something stupid which in turn will make them not like me!  Another fear....they already have their friends in the group.  I'll go there alone, everyone will talk to their friends they already know, they'll make plans and chit chat and I'll sit there alone.  Dumb dumb dumb, I know!  None of that is rational and why can't I pick someone out and talk to them?  Maybe I need to bring a friend with me the first time I go.  Is it bad I don't know of any of my friends who would go with me?  All I can do is ask I guess.  There's one tonite.....deep breath...maybe next week.
