I went to a birthday party today
My sons classmate who turned 5
He was fine ,played had fun
But I didn't I spoke to a mother for a while
But after ..after no one spoke to me ,iv suffered from anxity and have no real idea how to talk to ppl ,all my life I was just there ppl saw I was alone and no one came over
I dont know how to I guess socialise I'm not a child anymore
Where it's Hay I like barbie do you
And you start playing
Now I have no idea how to start a conversation with someone I don't know unless I have a opener I can use
But then the conversation kinda dies out and I'm left feeling stupid and awkward
Like iv done something wrong when I haven't
My anxity is my biggest killer
It destroys me ,when it shldnt
It's been one of my biggest challenges and continues to be at 42

Try to start with little conversation about your child gradually it will work

Girl your brave to even go my anxiety so bad I wouldn’t have went lol

Fair play for even going and trying to start a conversation. Anxiety is such a hard thing to deal with. I can totally relate. Please feel free to message me. Always happy to chat x
