This is one of the things I have and still struggle with.
I have 2 weddings coming up in the next 6 weeks. One for my brother and one for my best friend which im in the bridal party.
I attended my brothers stag party a couple of weeks ago and found I was full of anxiety. I hated the social awkwardness, the stress of being around everyone else that was drinking, I ended up just wanting to get out of there and left at 10 30pm.
I am now almost dreading the weddings coming up and the receptions to follow.
I am someone who always used alcohol to make social situations easier.
How do I deal with the anxiety of being in these situations?
