Hi everyone. I have been on DS for a while, but I just joined this group. Right now I am trying to figure out how to deal with some anxiety about going places by myself. I usually don't have a problem if someone I know goes with me, but I normally get too self-conscious if I go anywhere by myself.

I can take classes by myself, and i usually get a little anxious, but I guess i am so used to it, that it's not as big a deal. But I just don't really like going our anywhere by myself. If I am alone, I will just sit in my room at home and that sort of thing.

I'm not agoraphobic, and I can socialize ok, but it's just this thing about doing stuff by myself.

Well, if there is anyone who can relate or has any advice, that would help.
Thanks.
