Impending Doom

[Mo S]

.....I dunno really. I am supposed to go out on a boat fishing today with a bunch of people. I might feel trapped. Two of the people have very outgoing personalities; almost overbearing. Two are strangers. I'm afraid I will have the ol' social anxiety kick in. I don't want to medicate this one away- I wanna have fun.
I just have fear of the social anxiety...it makes me wanna stay home and hide.
I think I am going to go tho....staying home alone on a gorgeous day is no solution anymore. Got to face it.

You have probably either gone or not gone by now. Myself I have a rule that I do not go into any situation unless I have a way out. This way I can challenge myself, but if it becomes overwhelming it's easy to escape it. In a situation as a boat or aircraft I would never consider it unless there was someone I could fully depend on defending me in case I do find myself in a defenseless mode.
