Would just like some advice, really.
Since having DD1, 18 yrs ago, I have struggled to socialise or even going out in public. Some times are worse than others, but I feel unworthy of anything. I can accept that I am not much to look at, fail at most things (or do them badly) and even bore myself. I know it's not much of an issue for anyone else, but it's pretty much ruined my life. I find myself tonight, as many others before it, at home whilst DH attends a function without me because I really, really didn't want to go. The thought of being around vibrant, attractive people just makes me want to go and hide. I can't even make eye contact with people in normal conversation and I'm afraid I just seem weird to people who don't know me. I have few friends and I'm sure it's because I'm such a wet blanket - I would give myself a wide berth! Any tips on how to (if not completely overcome) at least live without the constant feeling of worthlessness?
