Over thinking

[StarvingMarvin222]

I'm due to meet some new people tonight.
And I'm feeling really anxious.
These are a new friendship group.
And I'm really having to stop myself bombarding these people with questions.
I am going and I'll be fine when I get there.
Just feeling a bit overwhelmed.

what’s the context? do they know each other?

No I'm sure a few have probably met but I'm new to the group.

Can you text any of them to say you feel a bit nervous? It might help you calm down knowing that they understand and will stop all the questions

Well I took the leap and I'm here,just waiting for someone else to turn up

Hope it goes well

Good luck 🤞

Nobody has turned up yet,how long will I give it

Were you supposed to meet at 8 and its now nearly 9?

Yes at 8 someone said they'd be here at 8.45

difficult without knowing context op

who is this “someone”?

someone you know?
someone you have never met before?

we need context

No I don't know them,it's a FB group I joined.
I only met 1 other women for coffee a few weeks ago.

and what’s the purpose of the group… book club? meet new friends?

Well you’ve been there long enough, get yourself home and make a cuppa. Don’t let it dishearten you and try again next time

Meet new friends

It took a lot for me to come out tonight,16 people said they were coming.
I'm sitting at the bar on my own.

Ok, well take it as a positive. You’ve got yourself ready, you’ve went out. It didn’t work out but you took all the steps you needed to take. So don’t feel bad. There could just be a miscommunication or something

get on FB
go to the group
post a pic of your drink and say…, who’s coming!!

do you have the number for the person you met for coffee

She's can't come tonight but she told me
I'm just so deflated

I completely understand you feeling disappointed OP, I would too but you took a huge step tonight and you should be proud of yourself.

You got ready and went, even though you were feeling anxious and it would have been easier to stay home. You stepped out of your comfort zone, keep hold of that. You did nothing wrong, so please keep trying new things. It will pay off, I promise.

The woman that was late text me looking where I was.
I told her on my way home.
She was 45 minutes late without letting me know.
Now I feel bad cause she's there and I went

Oh well done worry about it nobody died.

Get yourself some chips or takeaway are relax. You went they didn't and that woman didn't let you know because she probably asumed others were there

so she had your number but you didn’t have hers?

No through FB,
