Today, I was at a party. Trying to overcome my social anxiety, I was trying to take part in conversations. So, when a girl mentioned she had a doctor's appointment next morning, I blurted out: "What kind of a doctor?" Everyone stared as she responded: "A gynaecologist." FML

That's when you offer to help get her loose and ready beforehand

Now only to over come awkwardness and awkward silence.

Anxiety is a ************... You aren't alone, OP! /hugs

Hey there's no way you could have known. But don't let this get you down! It's just a good future story to tell ^_^

it's also apparently a present story to tell.

Exactly! Why bring up a drs appointment if you don't want to answer questions about what the appointment is for? This isn't OPs fault at all and they shouldn't feel bad or embarrassed.

Comment and profile picture synergy... Lol

Haha I feel like this is more of an fml for her. It's a legit question.

not only that if she did not want this known she would not have mentioned a doctor.

Could have been a dr. Appointment for just about anything. She did mention the appointment first

Yeah, if she didn't want to talk about it then she shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

My feelings exactly. If she was embarrassed she could have fibbed and said it was a dentist appointment or something. Clearly it didn't bother her to tell the truth about where she was going, so why let it bother you, OP?

thats what i tought too. its her fault she should have talk about her cat instead.

It would only have been weird if you asked her if there was something wrong.

It's okay op... I'd have ended up asking the same, then probably walking off to mentally punch myself or break down a little, even the best of us aren't good at party talk, either.

I wouldn't feel so bad about it..I mean if you social anxiety and tried to over come it..think of it as the first step..now just brush it off the best you can and try meeting new people..you reacted In a quick response and nervous..ANXIETY..so try try try again..good luck

however, embarrassing yourself (although I see nothing to be embarrassed about) it usually does the opposite to a persons confidence. it's certainly much easier to say/think you can use such an experience to better yourself, but when you're completely mortified, you just wanna hide under a rock.

Keep getting yourself in uncomfortable situations you will get used to it eventually
