Hi! 

I was unsure about whether to post this on r/relationship_advice but I thought this was more of a problem related to my anxiety.

So, I do suffer from generalized anxiety, which gets worse in social situations. I've been together with my boyfriend for 2 years now and we never felt the need to meet each other's friends but lately he's been talking more and more about me meeting his friends, and just the thought of it makes me really anxious. Like, idk why but the thought of me and my friends meeting him and his group of friends doesn't cause me anxiety, but he just asked me to go on a day trip with him, his best friend and his friend's girlfriend and I said no because it got me really anxious, and I am struggling to understand why. I tried to think about it, and it might be related to my usual fear of being judged by strangers that I get in new social situations, but I am not sure. 

Is there any advice that someone who has been (or not) in a similar situation can give me?

Thanks in advance!
