Wow Nowinsituation thats not baby steps that a HUGE big step especially if like me you suffer from social anxiety and always need the security of my close friends when going out, heck sometimes im terrified just going into a place to meet my friends! So you going somewhere on your own where you didnt know anyone is massive!
It's funny isnt it, how we DO like ourselves when we're with others we trust, it's just trying to let the real us out in public...
It means alot that you can identify and I find what you did on your own the other night inspiring, well done!
