You can make it through this, BF. Just remember the same things we say about drinking parties apply to your current situation.
If it gets to be too much you can always excuse yourself from the conversation and go outside and breathe. There are lots of instances in life where I walk away rather than get worked up.
Have an escape plan. Put pretty pictures on your phone and look at them if stressed. Carry a list stating why you quit.
I have things with me to keep my hands busy. Sometimes it's just a pine cone or a rock or shell, but something to fidget with always helps me.
