Cutting to the chase I have massive social anxiety and I know (because I've hepfully been told) that I come across as a 'stuck up bitch' because I really struggle with small talk etc. and just keep myself to myself, especially at school drop offs and pick ups.
I've managed to arrange some playdates for my two kids (usually with the other mum taking the lead!) but they want more and feel left out of a lot of things/events that go on because the other kids mums talk to each other in the playground.
I have been trying but I just freeze, I don't know what to say and just want to disappear. DH talks to loads of people but no one wants to arrange social things with a dad it always has to be the Mum and I am useless.
Has anyone ever successfully treated social anxiety?
