Going Out

[Connemmara]

Am going out tonight perhaps the first time from 13 November - is there anybody out there get a little nervous/apprehensive - am going with a crowd for dinner but just don't know what comes over me - when I am eventually out I enjoy myself - wish I didn't have these wee nerves.

I hope you have a lovely time. It's not something which bothers me, but I can understand it, particularly if you don't know the people. If you do know them, then they know you and hopefully you can feel more confident. Enjoy!

Oh I do know them Boxtops - but don't you think that the less you do of a thing the less you do - I used to be a real road runner in my day - maybe out 5 days of a week - now it is months. Will have to overcome this - I said this would be my New Year's resolution but of course will enjoy tonight as the some in the crowd are funny.

Yes, you can definitely get out of the habit, and then things assume a scary feeling when you do do them. Look at tonight as being a fresh start!

Just off to get showered as have to be ready for 6 - an early start - thanks Boxtops for your reassurance. bye

Hi Conn....it's easy to get out of the habit of socialising then it can get difficult. You know you'll enjoy it so...deep breath....remember good times you've had with these people before....and off you go!. You must be good company if they want to see you again. Have a lovely evening....and lots more.....Gx

Hi Conne, go out, enjoy the night, keep your hand on your half Penny, hang on to your purse, tell all tomorrow how you've gone on. have 2 for me x

I'm not nervous if you go out, honestly.

I can get nervous if I'm socialising with folk I don't know, my social skills are limited, but not among friends.

Just after answering this but something wrong with my broadband hence it did not go through. Just quickly letting you know enjoyed Sat night immensely and home correct and sober ish - today attended a funeral and was at a "wee do" for a sit down dinner and it was lovely to be amongst different friends again. These people are tired of inviting me to their house - maybe I will get around to it again - thanks for your answers guys.
