plz help!!!! my friend asked me to go to a club with him next month, and i suffe!

Loosen up a bit and go, a lot of anxiety comes from the anxiety of being anxious. Like if you go into it worrying because you have anxiety you're gonna feel more anxious. Just be yourself and try to have as much fun as possible you'll probably enjoy it more than whatever else you would be doing so don't make it seem like a bad thing ya know?

ok you have a couple options, say you go and have a panic attack and she thinks you're a freak and never wants to see you again, is that something you can handle? It's shitty but it happens, people fear the unknown so if she doesn't suffer from this problem she may not understand. Bringing us to option B: See if she would go to a less crowded place where you would feel more comfortable, get a pizza on Saturday afternoon, before the dinner rush. When you ask just mention that you don't really enjoy crowded places, don't go into details, you can talk about it over pizza. Or option C: go out with a friend who is more like you and invite her along, then you have to make sure you keep her attention so that she learns what it's like for people like you, but is still interested in you and not just anyone like you. There are plenty of other scenarios but the basic point is to compromise and find a common ground for the both of you, she can't really get to know you in her environment if you're a nervous wreck now can she?

generalized anxiety disorder. I kick people at the grocery store...

I'm a bit confused. Your friend..is a he or a she? Then, have you been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, or do you base that statement on negative experiences you've had in the past? Depending on how close you are to your friend, I would suggest discussing the subject with him/her. He/she may be in a position, and be willing to help you through it knowing about your concern. And it could strengthen your friendship.

Life Experience

I think honesty is the best answer! Also you didn't mention if you've gone clubbing before? Maybe if you go to an open club you won't feel that anxiety.. Why don't you bring that up with your friend... If she's truly your friend shell understand... Go to Saddle Ranch... That's an open club. Good luck :)

I had the same problem up untill about a year ago.Thats a hard thing to get over.Espeacialy in bars and clubs.but you just have to force yourself.I think you should go have fun with your friend.
