    Hi I'm just writing here to see am I just a total worrier and get peoples opinions, so Ive been with a lovely guy for a few months and I got to meet his friends for the first time 2 weeks ago, I suffer with anxiety and he knows and is very supportive so long story short the day I was meeting his friends id a migraine all day and my anxiety was sky high meeting new people.

    His friends arrived and I was ok for a while then a few more came then there was 5 of them max but I just got so overwhelmed and excused myself and went into his room he followed to see was I ok, my head was hopping so I just said it was a migraine so I just lay in the dark for the rest of the night.

    I'm said sorry to him because I felt so ignorant but it was really just my anxiety, he said it was ok, I'm not good around people and new people aswell I'm very outgoing even he mentioned I was very quiet.

    Maybe I'm making a problem out of nothing I just don't want his friends thinking I'm some kind of ignorant bitch because I'm really a nice person.

    My partner is like you, suffers anxiety but conversely is very outgoing and socialable.

    Your partner knows you have anxiety and he understands that you took a huge leap in meeting five new people all at once in a social situation. he knows you get overloaded very quickly and accepts it.

    you did all you could and you did what he asked - to meet his friends. That is enough for now

    You did great and handled it well.
    You met his friends, all 5 at once is a lot, and then steped out. You could do no more.
    Be proud of yourself. Take care:)
