I am having difficulty with my posts going through but here goes. I'll make it short as I'm in a major hurry. Problem: My therapist is out of town for 2 more weeks. My husband told me of a dinner we are invited to just a few days ago. It's in a nice resturant, etc. Sound good? Oh, I wish. There will be 20 people there; they either work with my husband or have some association with work.(like fund raising) I don't really know them and I've been around them before. My therapist would tell me to try to find someone I can relate to and hang out with them. Honestly, I cannot think of such a person (they do exist but not in this group). I feel so intimidated by these people. I spend most of my time trying to guess what the "right" thing would be to say and feeling like a phony. Yuck. And, either way, go or not, I feel like I lose. Although this is not rational, it's where I'm at. I'm working on it in therapy but the therapist is on vacation (and I was coping so well with his absence!) Any ideas, any input, please?
