i want to go to a halloween party so bad, but it's already kinda late where i live and im a social disaster (i have symptons of social anxiety, and i take meds and go to counseling) but im feeling a deep desire to just take the bus to the part of the city where there's a lot of clubs and just have some fun, but im so afraid bc yk, personal safety, strangers and other shit like that. What should i do?
If you're old enough to go out and you don't have a costume, just grab a white bed sheet, poke holes where your eyes, nose, and mouth would be and go out. No one gets to see your face so that solves the social anxiety part, and you get to enjoy yourself. If someone asks why you have a bed sheet as a costume, say that you're a economically budget-friendly ghost.I have social anxiety too and the most confident I had felt in years was when I wore a mask during the pandemic. No one saw my face or facial expressions, and somehow social anxiety wasn't a problem for me.
>>35053301if your friends (or at least, one of your friends) is going to said party, then I'd say go for it. otherwise i don't really think it'll be worth it. i'm not a fan of socializing with complete strangers alone at parties and i'd consider myself a reasonably well adjusted person when it comes to social interactions.
>>35053301go and stop being a pussy, social interaction wont hurt you
>>35053336actually i already have a costume, i got my makeup and costume ready just to take some photos bc i felt cute, but this ideia is sick thx!!
